Abstract: A protective cover comprising of a flexible polymeric sheet bonded continuously along three sides to form a pocket for slidably inserting an insert therethrough. An opaque coating, preferably black in color, is applied at specific desired location on the surface of either the front, rear, or on both of the sheets comprising the protective cover. The opaque coating, generally rectangular in shape, is used to block off from view, information contained on an insert, such as an identification card, by positioning the opaque coating on the surface of either polymeric sheet such that when the insert is fully inserted on the protective cover, the opaque coating sits directly on top of the information to be blocked. The sheets are either both transparent or one transparent and the other non-transparent. The protective cover can come singly or in a number of bound flippable, overlapping protective covers.
