If you’re a bit of a minimalist at heart, and need the Best Cool Wallets for adventuring abroad, the GDTK Leather Passport Holder makes a fair argument. It attempts to be the Best Passport Holder by incorporating a layer of RFID blocking, while also being stylish in nature with its leather exterior and 17 colors to pick from.
Why We Like It – GDTK Leather Passport Holder
The GDTK Leather Passport Holder is by far one of the quickest ways to stash your passport and a handful of cards. Its leather exterior is nice and textured, and comes with 17 colors to choose from. When it comes to nature and adventures, you could work well with a wallet that comes with a fixed blade knife. More about it in the Gerber GDC money clip review.
- Nice leather aesthetic
- 17 colors to choose from
- Affordable
- Subpar RFID blocking
Aesthetics
The GDTK Leather Passport Holder Cover Case RFID Blocking Travel Wallet rates fairly high on our scale for looks. It’s faux leather (fake leather) but still looks good. And you even get 17 colors to choose from, like rose gold, wine red, and purple. Learn more about a slimmer leather option with RFID protection in the Gallery seven wallet review.
Durability
Sure, it’s fake leather, but it has durability properties genuine leather misses out on, like resistance to cracking or warping when wet. The seams are tightened knitted, preventing the card pockets from widening over time.
Performance
If there’s anything the GDTK Leather RFID Blocking Travel Wallet Black should be called out for is its subpar RFID protection. It’s limited to frequencies at 13.56MHz, but doesn’t block 125KHz, older cards, and a few buildings can still access said cards. It’s the same lackluster performance the Zoppen Passport Holder has.
Size & Versatility
The GDTK Leather Passport Cover measures 6.1 x 3.58 x 0.79 inches in size, and weighs 0.353 ounces. It isn’t large by any measure, but it isn’t small enough for pockets. While it isn’t as versatile as the Zoppen Multi Purpose Travel Passport Wallet, it still has a place for your passport, debit/credit cards, and one large pouch for plane tickets or petty cash.
Value
If you aren’t concerned about RFID protection, the GDTK Leather Passport Holder still has value in being a slight upgrade from the passport-only wallets. This is especially true if you travel often, and own a handful of various cards limited to other countries. Alternatively, you can upgrade to the Venture 4th Travel Neck Pouch if you want more out of your passport cover.
GDTK Leather Passport Holder Wrap Up
The GDTK Leather Passport Holder is bad by any stretch of the word, but it is basic in nature. Its RFID protection is, sadly, lackluster. However, if you’ve been carrying around a basic passport holder, and need an upgrade, this won’t put a dent in your savings. It looks good, comes in over a dozen colors, and it’s affordable.
