This is a great binder we are in and out of them all the time and these actually stand up to the constant use. The only thing they don' t do great is slide in and out of the book shelf because of the rubber construction but we can live with that.
I bought this binder at the end of August for my 3rd grader and am very disappointed. Here it is the 2nd day of November and it needs replaced. The rings no longer close tightly causing the pages to fall out when turned. The inside plastic pocket is torn. The cheapie binders last just as long as this one. I'm trying an Avery mid grade this time.
It is a great durable binder and I have bought one for each of my 3 daughters. The price is a bit higher than what I wanted to pay for it but sometimes you have to pay for what you get.
Needed something to manage and protect my food blog recipes. This binder was perfect for that. Takes a beating in the kitchen yet still holds up without any wear or tear.
