Replace the Outer Cover

Yes - I apologize for the lack of detail. The Passport is of US issue, and would like to have the outer cover, including the inner cover page w/ photo replaced, if possible. I had a Chinese Border guard give it a ,serious once over, then I was handed off to a Supervisor who basically questioned me as if I had made it!

That said, just being dog-eared or scuffing up the barcodes to the point that they can't be scanned doesn't invalidate the passport. Just get the plastic slip cover now to prevent further damage, and expect to wait a little longer at borders as they hunt'n'peck your passport data into the computers instead.
