The binders of my son (elementary school) seems to always be breaking or ripping. This one has lasted the longest and is relatively light weight as well as strong. He likes the ability to customize it with pictures or photos and the inside pockets are handy too. Love it!
I've purchased these binders before in varying sizes. This particular binder however is the first one I've encountered from Staples with rings that do not align properly. When I turn pages in the binder they get caught in the ring. Not happy! But I've been too busy to return it to the store and it's probably too late now.
I first purchased this style binder a couple of years ago and just find I love it in any size. It is a view binder that is very lightweight but durable.
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.
