You don't need to remove the cover if you are going through the kiosk and it's also not inconvenient. In the recent years of travelling in Asia, I had no issues about removing my passport, unless specifically requested so. I think that getting a passport cover prevents busybodies from trying to figure out the traveller's nationality.
Passport holder. Unpractical?

I've been using a passport cover for a few years and never have felt inconvenienced when traveling with it. Yes you do need to remove it from the cover sometimes, but normally it isn't an issue.
I am wondering about the size of the passport cover. I mean, are not passports from different countries in different sizes? I have no clue, but this keeps me from looking for a cover.
I don't know about the machines, but I echo those who have said that they are always asked to remove the passport from the cover when they're being checked at passport control. I have always been asked to do this. I don't mind, because I don't want someone else carelessly handling my LV!
I’m bumping this thread to see if everyone is still happy - or not! - with their passport cover? Has anything changed with immigration that has made using it easier or more difficult?
I am thinking of ordering a non monogram one. I do have the Hermes globetrotter also. Should I just stick to that? Whaat have you experienced recently?

Most international airports have moved to a machine system where you scan your passport yourself and the machine takes your photo, etc. I have to remove my cover every time, which is annoying. I m thinking about switching to the Hermès Tarmac.
The medium POCHETTE KIRIGAMI can put few passports.
I’ve just ordered the kirigami set and have decided to use the middle one for a passport cover. I’ve never used a traditional passport cover before due to the inconvenience but this seems simple to remove for immigration.
This is what I use mine for. I can fit boarding passes, tickets etc in too. It’s handy and stylish.

I think that’s a great idea about the middle kiragami. Thanks guys. That’s exactly what I’m going to use for our passports.
