Bought this notebook for my 16 year old son he is very rough on school supplies. I was surprised that after 5 months the cover and papers did stay in the notebook.
This notebook is great! It's cheaper than most of the other notebooks staples offers and it's just as effective. The cover is super durable which is usually a problem for me. It's pretty hard and water and bending-proof. They make single subject up to five subject notebook. It also has pockets as dividers after every subject! Overall I AM very pleased with the product not only because of its price but because of its.multi-use and all of the extra assets it includes.I would stick with this notebook if I were you.
I have used a lot of notebooks for classes and work. They are dropped in my pack and hauled out to take note make drawings on and store handouts. The Accel handles all that without any problems. Other notebooks start showing wear quickly. They get tattered and creased the corners get blunted and the covers stained. But the Accel has a poly cover that shrugs off liquids; doesn't blunt or tear. the back cover is sturdy as well though made of fiberboard. But one of my favorite things to like is the binding. On most notebooks the coils are thin and bend easily. This binding has a much heavier wire and holds up without getting bent. With others no matter how carefully they are bent back into shape they never work quite right. I might wish that the paper was heavier than the other notebooks but that just makes this as good and not better. All in all it is the best I have found.
I bought this notebook expecting a generic product. I really didn't realize there was a difference in quality of notebooks but this one is much better than what I usually buy. The spiral wire is much heavier than my usual notebooks and when you clip a pen to it the wire doesn't bend all out of shape. The covers are made of heavy enough material that they aren't going to bend or tear. There is a clear page in the front with pockets on both sides. It was a little more expensive than I usually pay but well worth it!
I am extremely disappointed with this purchase. I have been using this specific notebook for 4 years now because of its excellent binding and quality paper. I don't live in the States and would always organize to get these notebooks. However this will be my last order as the quality of paper has dropped immensely. I used to brag about this great notebook. Besides the quality of paper my notebooks came with dust on them as if they were in a storehouse and carelessly thrown into a box. As I live in the Caribbean I am extremely disappointed that Staples has split my small order into 4 packages which results in me being overcharged for stationery. I am extremely disappointed.
