I haven’t had this binder long but I hope the rubber on the covers will help it last longer. The inside pocket is a nice touch for keeping smaller items handy.
I use this binder for Boy Scouts (age 11 to 18) to keep their progress notes and rank advancement paperwork in. They get to personalize their cover sheet so they have a good sense of ownership. It is designed for a standard 8.5" x 11" sheet so it looks professional when you insert the cover sheet When they become Eagle Scouts I give them a second binder to organize and keep their letters of recognition. The The books are durable and hold-up well with nearly weekly use. The envelope inside the front cover makes it easy to keep pencils pens markers cards and other small items. I use a few dozen each year for this purpose I think they are a good value for the price. You rarely reqret buying quality
The only thing I would improve is the color of the binder. It would be better to color the silicone rubber part the same as the plastic portion. Also the mechanism is very good but it can be improved to make it yet more durable. I have several of these binders and one has a weak metal part.
