This folder is great and can take a lot of abuse such as daily carrying back and forth to school opening and closing the rings several times a day and being packed to capacity. The folder's front pouch and inner flap however can come loose with too much abuse. Those can come loose and then be useless. My sixth grader went through two of these folders in one year while a girl in his grade was able to reuse hers from last year. It also depends on the user and how hard somebody is on their things. Generally a sturdy and high quality item.
I'm an instructor and I use binders frequently. The View Binder is my first choice always when making binder purchases. I love them because they are so so convenient durable and just all around suitable to my educational needs.
I have bought less expensive binders but for the kids and for me (I used them for job quotes supplier info etc.) these are the best. I am in and out of these binders all day long and there is no splitting ripping falling apart like with the cheaper binders. The presentation front makes it easy for me to identify the binder I need as does the color variety. Its worth the extra $$$ for these. For the kids school...this is the first year that I didn't have to purchase them new binders since these lasted.
I love the look and feel of this binder. The ring closures are reliable and house my entire loose-leaf biology text book. The only negative is that the rubberized exterior and somewhat rounded spine make it very difficult to slide in and out of my backpack making it not the best choice for someone on the go.
I am a college student who is constantly opening my notebook I loved this notebook because of the texture and flexibilty but once I started opening it I was very disappointed. I exchanged my first one and my second one did the same thing.
These binders are fantastic. The only con is the price. When you have 3 boys that need a minimum of 4 2" binders each the $9.99+ binders add up. It would be great if they would go on sale or coupons would be offered more.
