I have purchased many binders over the last 23 years. I have 3 children now 25 23 and 16. I am now a full time college student and have already purchased 2 years worth. Year after year I purchased binder after year for my girls. By the time first semester was over I was already going and buying a new binder because it had already ripped. The Better Binders last and last! Semester after semester I have not had one of these rubber reinforced binders to rip apart. The transparent pockets on the front covers are great for a photocopy of my textbook to slide right in. If you haven't tried these do so!
I found the binders are sturdy compared to the regular binders. The binders survive the kids knapsacks and my travel bags. Regular binders do not. I like the label on the end and the front I can put a regular title of the binder. Very handy item. I love the choice of colors too.
