It's great for those who like to keep all of their items in the same place and not go digging through their bag, especially with a line of people behind you! I felt that all of my documents and cash were secure when I traveled to China and Japan in May. The only downside I can think of is that mine didn't come with a lanyard even though there was a spot to put a lanyard. I ended up putting an old one that I had from a phone wallet case. The only thing is that it was a dark purple lanyard and I ordered the pink case, which is ok, but it would have been nice if one was already included in the packaging.
