I love the fact that this notebook has a big pocket with a fold over flap so nothing falls out. I have replaced all my notebooks with this brand. Thank you Staples!

My purpose in purchasing binder was to start organizing. When I received the binder it was smashed in the middle. I quickly added books to the middle to fix the middle and it worked.
After trying many different brands and styles of binders over the years this has easily been my go to binder. I'm rough on my things and do a lot of traveling with them and these hold up really well.
I searched the shelves at my local Staples for a binder that would take pages longer than 10.5". I needed a binder that could hold 220 pages 11.5" long by 8.25" wide from a bound textbook that came unglued. The Better Binder attracted me with its D-style rings sturdy build fold-over flexibility and mechanically attached locking lever. The metal lever at the bottom end of the 3-ring mechanism limits the binder to pages 10.5" long. I bent the mechanically attached lever back and down with a pliers until it popped out of the 3-ring mechanism. The mechanism now opens and closes by manually pulling the two-halves of the center ring open or pushing them together to close. I carefully separated the pages from the book binding fabric and used a standard 3-hole punch (a few pages at a time) so they fit the binder's 3-ring positions. The textbook's soft front and back covers and all pages easily fit on the 3-ring mechanism and I can flip through the pages more easily now than when the textbook was bound. The 11.5" long pages do not protrude beyond the binder covers.
