This binder gets opened and closed many times each day. Additionally it is carried to and from meetings home and school. So it is in and out of bags bumped around in the car and generally abused. I couldn't be happier with my choice. So much so that I have been changing all my curriculum binders to this particular style.
I've looked far and wide for a good binder and i guess i found one. past binders have fallen apart quick this one is still with me. I keep my binder in my duty bag next to my other police gear and its still in one piece. This is a great binder if you are on the go and out in the field.
Really packed a suitcase tightly and it survived-even without paper in it. Nice feel to the cover. I had thought it could be opened 360 degrees so that it would fit on a small work area. The front cover folds back but the papers in it cannot fold to the back too. So it still took up a large area on the desk.
I bought this for my son to use in school. Kids can really beat up their things but this binder should hold up very well for the long run. It costs a little more but he will not have to fight with it as with cheaper versions. It doesn't pop open on when dropped.
