I use these notebooks to save my scrapbook essentials. Poems quotes how to's patterns anything I may use again in another scrapbook or another format. I make cards and scrapbook and occassionally small crafting projects. It's a major hobby that I enjoy very much. These notebooks help keep me organized. I tried cheaper notebooks and quickly decided to only buy Staples Better View Binders with D-Rings.. The sturdiness is unmatched by other competitors. I also have purchased these binders to store stories I have written. I have also replaced the cheaper kind which were purchased by my grandchildren's parents for school work with Staples Better View Binders. The grandchildren are delighted as the other binders tend to rip and fall apart fairly quickly. The notebooks are pulled in and out of backpacks and set down not to gently sometimes. They need to be tough and able to take some less than delicate treatment. The available place to title your notebook and the plastic sleeve inside the cover are also features I find very helpful. I just look up on the shelf and know which notebook I need. Highly recommend wouldn't buy anything else!
Staples Better View Binders are the best binder I have ever purchased. They are easy to label especially the spine -- no more struggling -- the label is easy to insert from the inside of the binder. The rubberized spine and leading edges provide a positive feel (non-slip). The one-button ring unlock is also easy to use. As a former Avery binder fan I decided after my first Better Binder purchase that Staples product was superior. I'll never go back to Avery. I highly recommend the Staples Better View Binders.
The quality of this binder is excellent. I bought the first binder of this kind for my Middle School daughter a year ago and she was able to use it for another school year. It has lasted her well. When the rings started to fail (not closing) we took it back for a replacement under the lifetime warranty. The store gladly replaced it. My daughter likes this binder because it is light it is durable it is easy to open and close. The view pocket on the cover does not break as in other binders. The inside pocket is very useful. It keeps her handouts and loose leaf papers in place. Excellent product!
These are by far the best binders ever! The d rings are located on the back cover instead of the spine so you never have difficulty opening or closing the binder. The spine is rubberized so they don't split at the seam and the spine label is easy to remove and put back since you don't have to try to feed it down the entire length of the spine. They come in fun colors and at back to school time you can get the ones with the expanding pocket inside the front cover which holds an extra 100 or so pages! I love love love these binders!!
