The Bottom Line
The LL Bean passport organizer is a seemingly small affair that opens into a virtual travel toolkit. As a passport holder only, it's a little expensive because it's a lot more than that. Using this multi-featured travel accessory solely as a passport / ticket organizer is impossible, anyway; no sooner will you decide in which of the seven pockets to put your passport then you'll be filling the rest.
If you call it a travel wallet, however, the LL Bean passport organizer is almost perfect. What isn't perfect: LL Bean is apparently no longert making this, so you'll have to look for it on ebay.
