I bought this passport cover to replace one that I had for several years. It has fewer card slots than I would have liked. My previous passport holder had slots on both sides. However the fewer slots keeps me from overstuffing it. I live and work overseas and need to carry my passport with me at all times. I almost always keep my passport holder in my front pant pocket. Thus it gets a lot of wear. So far after several months of use this passport holder has held up extremely well with no signs of wear.
