This is the 2nd year in a row that my kids have used this brand/style of binders. They are great and last the whole year. They also have a lifetime warranty. You can't beat that! They are pretty as well.
Great job constructing this binder. As a hardcore student it works really well. I got a 3'' binder as well and it has held up thus far! The rubber has split a little at the top though... thats why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars instead of 5. I really like the clear window on the side. However the pocket on the front is a little small. It is difficult to put papers and forms in the front. However this is way better then avery or other brands that I have bought over the years. I know several people who are also happy with it as well. THANK YOU STAPLES!!
So far so good... The material is a flexible plastic/rubber and doesn't get dog eared or damaged like the vinyl cover cardboard type. The lever to open the rings requires only one hand to operate. Overall good value...
