I recently bought this binder to replace a regular vinyl binder for my daughter's school notes. The vinyl binder only lasted six months. At first I balked at the price of this binder from Staples. However once we got it home and my daughter transferred everything to it I quickly changed my mind. It's fantastic! It's very durable and has plenty of room for all of my daughter's notes handouts folder pencil bag etc. the D-ring binder allows her to turn pages without ripping them. I especially like the front of the binder. My daughter likes to draw a picture for the cover. Unlike her old vinyl binder the plastic insert cover doesn't reach the corners. The corners ripped in no time with the vinyl binder. On this one the plastic covering just goes to the top without reaching the corners. I'm hopeful that this binder can be used next school year' as well. It is expensive but so worth it if your kids are hard on school supplies like mine.
I love this binder! It comes in an array of attractive colors...I bought it in pink my favorite color. This binder is trimmed in what appears to be a rubber material which provides added sturdiness to the corners and edges. It also provides a contrast in the design and appearance. There is a see-through area on the spine that is excellent for labeling. The front cover also has a see-through pocket. There is a pocket on the inside of both the front and back covers. This binder is constructed with d-rings that provides more space and most of all it can be wiped clean if needed.
I purchase these binders for everything. They are well made. sturdy and easy to clean. They come in an array of beautiful colors. Well worth the price.
I bought this binder for my second grader - it gets heavily used every school day and each evening for homework. Every school day it travels back and forth in her backpack. We are still using it for the second school year in a row. Great durability! You can also personalize the cover thanks to the clear plastic sleeve on the front.
We bought this binder for my daughter for use in school. It was the perfect size for her needs. The binder appeared strong enough to last though the end of the school year. However despite careful use the spine of the binder appeared to signs of cracking and wear after only a few weeks. Similar binders sold in Staples last year held up better. Those lasted the entire school year roughly 10 months. I would recommend the manufacturers of the binder create a better product for next year.
