This binder stores papers better than the original stiff binder. It is much easier to use and seems to hold more paper. It is far more manageable to store as well. I will purchase this type of binder from now on.
Light weight sturdy and the d-ring mechanism works with ease. Colors are great. I'm working on family history and genealogy and the various colors are great to coordinate branches of the family. The easy to use front and side label areas are perfect for identification.
While the binder itself is sturdy and attractive this omni-present metal ring design where one side is straight and the other curved makes it very difficult to turn pages. I have all of my music in plastic sleeves. Every single day the closed rings still allow parts of pages to slip through. I spend countless minutes fixing what is loose and losing playing time with my group.
