Great binder so far!

I bought this binder primarily because it was hard to find a yellow binder and this one was both the size and color I needed to maintain a color-code system. It turns out that the flexible rubberized hinges are ideal for folding the cover back to take up less space on your desk while studying or taking notes. I'm not sure if it was intended to be used this way so I hope it holds up. Besides the color this is my favorite feature of the binder. I also like the spine insert for labeling (much easier to use than a full-length sleeve) and the clear / unobtrusive slant pockets on the inside and outside covers. The mechanism for opening and closing the rings is different from what I have seen before and is very nice. The only drawback is the rubberized front edge of the binder - it makes it hard to put into a tote bag or book bag because there is also rubber on the spine - so it doesn't slide into your bag or against other books. Maybe this would be more of a plus for a binder that is kept on a shelf.
I had bought the cheaper binders first and my son destroyed them within two months. I went back to Staples and picked these durable binders and am very pleased with these binders.
