When we are travelling internationally, we carry daypacks.  Frequently stores mandate that bags are left at the front counter.  I use this pouch to hold our passports, money, and cell phone so that I can grab it out of my pack quickly when checking our bags.  It is sturdily made with nice-feeling materials and heavy stitching.  I have been very pleased with it so far and would buy another if this one every wears out.
