Check price

Bellroy’s Travel Wallet is the dedicated passport holder in this line-up. Bellroy lists it at roughly 150 × 97 mm and 79 g, with RFID protection for passports, cards and transport passes. Bellroy typically describes capacity as 4–10+ cards. Inside you get quick-access slots plus extra card storage, a hidden cash compartment, space for tickets or bills, and a micro pen.

One caveat: Bellroy notes it fits most passports but not German or Irish passports, so check your booklet before you rely on it at the gate.

• RFID listed on Bellroy’s secure-wallet roster
• Light enough for a jacket pocket or personal-item lid

Cons

• Won’t fit German or Irish passports per Bellroy

Bellroy Note Sleeve (RFID): slim daily carry

Best everyday slim wallet

Bellroy Note Sleeve (RFID)

• About 102 × 90 mm
• RFID-secure
• 4–11+ cards; flat bills and coins

Best for: Day-to-day carry with RFID when you leave the passport in the hotel safe

Check price

The Note Sleeve is Bellroy’s slim bifold for everyday use. Published figures put it around 102 × 90 mm, with capacity for 4–11+ cards, flat bills and coins, quick-access slots and a pull-tab for less-used cards. Bellroy’s Product Specifics page names the Note Sleeve among the styles that include RFID protection.

Pros

• RFID without carrying the full travel bifold
• Familiar billfold layout

Cons

• Not a passport holder — leave the passport in the hotel safe or Travel Wallet

Who it’s for: travellers who pair a passport wallet for flight days with a slimmer RFID wallet for walking around.

Bellroy Flip Case (RFID): minimal hardshell

Best minimal card case

Bellroy Flip Case (RFID)

• About 105 × 70 × 10 mm
• About 52 g
• RFID; up to 8 cards or 6 cards plus folded bills

Best for: Minimalists who want a hardshell card case with RFID

Check price

The Flip Case is a dual-sided hardshell card case with RFID protection and magnetic trapdoors. Retailer and Bellroy listings commonly cite about 105 × 70 × 10 mm and 52 g, holding up to 8 cards, or 6 cards plus folded bills, with a quick-access section for one or two priority cards.

Pros

• Smallest and lightest of the three
• Hardshell protects cards in a packed personal item
• RFID on a minimal footprint

Cons

• No passport or full billfold capacity
• Folded cash only — not ideal as your sole long-haul wallet

Who it’s for: minimalists and anyone who wants RFID card storage beside a separate passport sleeve.

How to choose an RFID travel wallet

• Flight day vs city day. Use the Travel Wallet when you need the passport in hand; switch to the Note Sleeve or Flip Case once the passport is locked away.
• Check passport fit. If you hold a German or Irish passport, Bellroy says the Travel Wallet is not a fit — look for an alternative sleeve size.
• RFID is one layer, not magic. Bellroy explains RFID blocking helps against skimming of high-frequency (13.56 MHz) cards and passports; it does not replace watching your bag or using hotel safes.
• Pair with the rest of the kit. A carry-on travel backpack, tech pouch and luggage tracker keep the rest of your documents and devices organised.

FAQ

Conclusion

For most airport days, the Bellroy Travel Wallet (RFID) is the all-rounder: passport, cards, tickets and a pen in one RFID bifold. Keep the Note Sleeve for slim daily carry and the Flip Case when you want the smallest RFID card shell. Check passport compatibility on Bellroy’s page, then sort your eSIM and insurance with the same care you give the wallet.
