I haven't put it to the test yet. I was under the impression that there was an additional pocket on the right side. We will see how they hold up by May 2019 with a 7th grader and 2 college students.
We use these for our corporate documents because they open easily close thoroughly and provide security in color-coded notebooks (binders). Their heavy duty construction means we should not have to replace them!
I have been using these kinds of binders for a few years now and they are absolutely the best binders out there. The rings don't break like other binders and the pocket in the front holds a ton of paper. Take it from a high school student these are the best!!
