SLNT RFID Passport Wallets Review

The SLNT RFID Passport Wallet is super stylish and easy to use. It has a minimal layout and features high-quality top-grain leather. It is suitable for everything from casual recreational getaways to professional business trips, with quality materials and a modern aesthetic. While somewhat simplistic, it’s flexible enough to store one or multiple passports. 

Made from high-quality top-grain leather that is smooth to the touch, it feels enjoyable and comfortable when holding. It has an initial slight papery-sounding crinkle that becomes quieter after some use, but this is due to the RFID and NFC-blocking technology. Thanks to the leather, the wallet has a firm structure t yet retains some flexibility. It holds its shape well and can be bent or folded relatively easily. The external design of the wallet is rather minimalistic, featuring just the smooth face of the front and back, without any attachment points or grab handles. Branding is pretty minimal, with just the logo in the lower right-hand corner on the front and the entire brand name and logo displayed on the inside sleeve pocket.

The Rundown

The SLNT RFID Passport Wallet has integrated RFID and NFC-blocking technology that ensures the protection and security of the valuables inside. It is an ideal choice for storing sensitive documents like passports, especially if you need quick and easy access while moving through the airport, for example. Although it only has two dedicated sleeves, you can also use these pockets to store various sizes of cash, although some folding is probably necessary. However, it is important to note that the wallet lacks any dedicated card slots for bank cards, and while you can use one of the two sleeve pockets for cash, this was not the intended design. Despite this, the sleeves are very user-friendly and perform excellently.

This wallet fits either one or multiple passports. When we carry a single passport, we slip one end into either side of the wallet. You can adjust both ends for a dedicated high-quality sleeve that always opens to the proper page. However, it may require some folding to encase the passport correctly. This process is not necessarily quick or efficient, which could be a factor to consider when moving through airport security, where you may have to remove the passport entirely. In such situations, we prefer to use only one side of the sleeve as it offers similar functionality but with greater speed and flexibility.

If you juggle multiple passports, you can easily slip both into the protective sleeves, each in a dedicated sleeve, or each passport partially into each slot for quick access. This layout is practical for those who manage multiple passports, either for different countries or for the safekeeping of a spouse or a child’s passport.

Packability

The SLNT RFID Passport Wallet is incredibly lightweight and minimalistic, making it a joy to carry around. You can conveniently throw it into a bag or even slip it into a pocket. Its design allows it to fit in just about any space a regular passport would fit, ensuring it does not take up any extra room in your luggage. The wallet’s stitching around the perimeter and corners gives it a more pleasant feel by reducing the sharpness of the passport’s corners. All of this equates to a more comfortable holding and carrying experience.

Quick Comparison

When compared to something like the ALPAKA Zip Travel Wallet, the SLNT RFID Passport Wallet provides a sleeker and more aesthetic look thanks to its top-grain leather. Although the SLNT is smaller and functions more like a dedicated skin or sleeve, the ALPAKA Zip Travel Wallet provides slightly more storage options with its extra internal organization. Interestingly, the ALPAKA Zip Travel Wallet also features a dedicated zipper that aids in securing the contents inside, and it also houses extra card slots for bank cards, travel passes, and even cash. Despite its streamlined approach to carrying, the SLNT RFID Passport Wallet provides a more aesthetically pleasing option.

As to style and aesthetics, The James Brand Gatecliff stands out as a worthy adversary due to its durable CORDURA® fabric that is pleasant to both the eye and the hand. This provides a comfortable touch with rugged protection. It also features a zipper, additional slots for bank cards and cash, and a pen loop. The SLNT RFID Passport Wallet, on the other hand, offers a sleeker and more minimal aesthetic. Its high-quality stitching and protective leather suggest it will provide ample protection over a long period despite its more streamlined approach to internal organization.

However, the SLNT RFID Passport Wallet can store and protect multiple passports, so while its minimalistic approach may not be suitable for everyone, its flexible storage and modern aesthetic make it an excellent addition to anyone’s packing list.
