Rimowa just shrank its suitcase into a passport holder, and the grooves are the whole point. The Aluminum Passport Holder takes the grooved aluminum shell from the Original collection. That design dates back to 1950 and the Junkers F13 fuselage. The shell folds into a 13-centimeter sleeve that weighs just 85 grams. Inside, a stainless steel clamp holds standard and thicker frequent-flyer passports in place. The aluminum gives you a heightened barrier against RFID and NFC skimming. It is the same grooved aluminum from Rimowa’s iPhone 15 cases. It is sized for the document you actually need at the gate, with a side opening that keeps the passport easy to pull.
It comes in silver and black at $285, crafted in Germany with a two-year warranty. It is in stock now, though Rimowa flags limited stock. If you have ever wanted the Rimowa look without the suitcase price, this is the cheapest way in.
