All my kids insist on these binders
on August 21, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
My teenaged children have requested I purchase only these binders for the last 3 years. They are well constructed and can take a lot of abuse. The textured edges help keep them from sliding across desks (and hall floors) and they come in enough sizes and colours to accommodate everyone in our family. The clear front pocket makes them easy to customize. Great product that I would buy again and again.
It held up for a entire school year for my son and was able to use it again this year for school. The only thing that tore was the clear flap on the inside which was no big .deal
This is the most awesome line of binders! Our children usually go through 2 binders each school year because they have broken spines or the rings are damaged. This binder made it through the entire school year for our high school son who is not gentle in any way with his school notebook. In fact he will be able to use it again this year. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because if you do not use the lever to open the binder rings you damage the rings. I may have missed that important instruction on the binder somewhere but all it took was once for us to figure that out and now we have no problems.
This binder will last the whole school year. My son has crammed it pretty full wouldn't completely close had it this way all year yet it didn't fall apart as most binders do. It is pricey but this is definitely a product that I feel you get what you pay for. With the amount of paperwork and teachers requiring several binders when students get into middle and high school to me it's important to have a quality product that will stand up to rigorous use and hang in there until the end of the year. These folders stack against each other(back and forth) so as to not take up a bunch of room in the backpack too which is a definite plus. I have bought only these folders for years and will continue to do so.
The binders are reinforced rubber on the sides. No more nicks on the fingers or splits down the binding. The rings open with the press of a finger on the release tab at the bottom which is great when having to open and close a binder often.
