Protect your most coveted travel buddy.

Traveling can be a lot. Sure, once you get to your destination and sink into the plush hotel bed it's all worth it, but there's a plethora of steps that go into getting there. You need to pack a carry-on, decide if you want to use a garment bag, perfectly time your airport arrival. You'll spend an unnecessary amount of money on a bottle of water, pray for no delays, then board your flight. And if you are traveling internationally or without a Real ID, you have to do all of this without misplacing or damaging the most important item of all—your passport.

You need a passport cover. It's not even up for debate. Without your passport, you aren't going anywhere anytime soon, so you better be guarding that flimsy booklet like it's your firstborn. Thus, the beauty of a passport cover, which comes in all shapes, sizes, styles, and colors. There are thin covers that don't add much bulk, keeping with the passport's slim design. Perhaps you want something with a dual purpose, so choose one of the passport wallets that hold cards and cash as well.

Whatever type of case you choose, you can find yourself one that is practical, durable, and stylish. To get you started on this journey, we've got the 12 best ones on the market today. Your peace of mind starts with a safe passport.

A simple leather case is a classic. This one is as standard as it gets, with a sophisticated pebbled composition. Plus, the monogram is going to let everyone know just whose this is.

A sleek black leather holder is as chic as it gets. This cover features a jacquard lining and subtle branding, perfect for the ultimate automobile lover.

Maybe you are more of a McLaren type, so you can choose a bifold case from a collaboration to celebrate that. The king of travel meets the king of cars in an elevated ergonomic design.

Look for RFID shielding in your cover. This case integrated that technology to protect your personal information as you travel. The four card slots are an additional perk.
