Using this daily in my social work rounds. Have only used for 1 week but so far very happy. Has a nice sturdy feel and the rubber on the sides make it comfortable to carry with me all day.

Teacher Approved!

As a high school teacher I have seen many binders that can not hold up to the demands placed upon them from everyday use. The Better Binder is the first binder that I have seen that can last an entire school year or longer! Typically binders will tear along the edges. But due to the solid one-piece construction the Better Binder does not tear nor does it crack since it doesn't have cardboard as its inner material.
The plastic of the covers isn't thin It's quite thick and dense and I haven't bent it yet. The shape of the rings is good facilitating both holding a larger amount of paper and flipping through it. My only major complaint would be that for maximum durability there should be another thumb tab to open it up at the top not just at the bottom as that improves lifespan significantly. If the lever stops working that breaks a binder in an irreparable way. A petty improvement would be a longer larger window on the spine because the space provided is very scarce. If I try to fit the information on the label it would be too small to read. So far I am very pleased with it It's a fun color which I wanted for my project and those are hard to find. The edges are covered with some softer rubber so that they are less likely to be dented or to dent other things. The only other thing I can say is that it's a little hard to keep a grip on but that's a problem with my meerkat hands and not with the actual binder which I knew was very large before I bought it. Unfortunately I cannot also buy larger hands at Staples.
I bought this for my college A&P 2 class. It hold my photo atlas a notebook all of my class notes labs and diagrams. I use it everyday and it'd held up great! So glad I decided on this rather than a regular D-ring it's definately worth the money.

great binder

Seems to be really nice quality. A little on the expensive side but I am counting on it holding up. I bought a different "heavy duty" binder and it was broken at the seams within a month! Staples is always good to stand behind their products and they say they will on this so I believe them. Great colors for school my daughter loves that they are neon and somewhat lightweight. My husband just went and bought 2 more for his work presentations since he anticipates that they will hold up well for clients to look through.

I've bought many variety of binders for my daughter for school. Staples binders hold up better than any other brand including Avery. Best value for the money.
