As a seasoned traveler, you’ve landed on the right suitcase, roller, or bag that’s easy to navigate through airport labyrinths. You’ve also figured out if you’re team packing cube or team see-what-happens when you unzip it. You might even have your own VPN, personal hotspot, portable charger, and neck pillow, all of which are required for feeling comfortable and connected abroad.

But the one item that even wanderlusters lust after? A passport cover.

As the keeper of your ticket out of the country and the one must-have for packing if you want to see lands other than your own, a passport cover protects your most important travel accessory.

Though it’s likely the customs agent will ask you to remove it from its case to double-check you are who you say you are, it’s still worth the purchase to keep it from getting wrinkled or torn in transit. Border officers (in the U.S. or abroad) can actually reject a passport for being dog-eared, torn, or otherwise beat-up. So let’s keep you both stylish and not-stranded.

From nomadic quotes to chic designs, here are 11 smart buys to consider.
