Hasn't been used long but holding up well to a stuffed backpack. Nice label options so you know what you have from front and side. Opens and closes easily and with a nice fit. Does get scuffed so it won't stay pretty all year.
my 2 kids have gone though a lot of binders and this is the only one that actually lasted more than one school year. They use it everyday and it doesn't rip or break apart. The rings close nicely. colors are terrific.
These are worth the extra expense because they last multiple school years and the next best binders still fall apart before the end of a normal school year. My kids love the color choices and that their binders are not falling apart in December.
We now buy these binders for school after wasting our money on the cheap ones. The colors are fun and the quality is awesome even after a full year of school! The kids won't use any other kinds of binders!
I recently took my girlfriend's high schooler shopping for this semester. She chose this binder for one of her required binders and frankly I was glad. These binders are the same ones I use everyday at work and I go through a LOT of them giving many clients their own binder for their particular case or situation. The binders are VERY well constructed. They come in a large variety of colors that (frankly) lend some fun to an office environment but could easily be used to separate groups of projects (or clients). Given that I think binders should cost less "in general " these binders are well worth the several dollar premium over the "everyday" D-rings. They have NEVER broken or bent the rings and they always close tight and sure. Great product!
