I bought this for my son as required by his school supply list. By the 3rd week the rings were not lining up and started catching on things. It is now 5 weeks into school and is barely usable. What a waste of money I thought I would get a better product from Staples.

Not for Heavy Duty Use

This 2" was purchase to replace the 3" of the same kind that closed unevenly from the first days of use. (Did not need 3" capacity.) Lasted less than 2 weeks of use (middle school) before the back split just outside the rings. If you are looking for a binder to use daily this brand doesn't do it.

I am happy that I got the folder with a coupon that brought the price down to nearly half of the normal price. This folder is not worth the full asking price. My son uses it for middle school. While the rings are holding up the clear view pouch in the front already needed taping to keep it closed to the bottom. I hope the thing stays together for the rest of the year as it would be a very poor value even with the coupon otherwise. I would recommend this but not necessarily for school. I am sure this folder would hold up great with moderate use in an office where only careful adults use it sometimes. It's not really sturdy enough to take the rough and tumble of middle school.
Love these binders they are all I use for my children and my students. Just make sure they use the tabs to open them if they pull the rings it breaks instantly.

Haven't had them long enough to tell if they are worth the extra cost. ..how well they hold up will be the key.

I love these binders. I wish they offered a few more colors.
Ok this binder is GREAT! I know it sounds weird to like a binder but my other one was wore out and all white. This one looks sharp and with the accessories I got for the inside I'm lovi it.

Good product but not as durable as looks

The binder itself is nice quality. Loved the rubber edging (although over the course of school eyar it did start coming off). First binder I did not have to replace in December. Only con is that the binder rings do not fully close and are misaligned after use. Stuff falls out. However it is the best binder I've found so far.
