Open / close works great rubber non-slip surface is a plus for holding binder on slanted surfaces. I have been using this type of binder long enough and found it good enough to buy three (3) more. GREAT BINDER!!!!
I have been couponing for a few months. I purchased numerous binders that continuously fell apart at the spine. So I decided to finally invest the money in a good strong binder. This one is thick and bound well at the spine. I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants a durable binder.
These notebooks are incredibly sturdy--lay flat while open-open and close easily and come in awesome colors. I have one for each of my literature units as well as student record keeping. They stack nicely and look beautiful on a bookshelf.
Good outer material with a nice rugged look. However the center ring fails miserably. No strength. Returned next day. Too kuch for too little where it counts
