My Favorite Binders By Far
on January 2, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
I use these binders for documents that I need ready access to and that I handle frequently. The rubberized edges make handling the binder more comfortable by eliminating sharp edges. The plastic construction is more durable than traditional cardboard based binders. The rings open and close easily and always stay closed until you need to open them. The clear window on the front allows you to add a custom cover if desired. Different colors allow you to organize documents while grey trim gives all the binders a uniform look.
I use it for our choir music. We need a number of different sizes. The one inch-to three inch. The black is usually the color used. I like the D-ring to hold the music pages and you can turn the pages easier. I also like the see thru plastic cover to put notes or quick pages to recover when needed fast. The rubber coating helps when singing to grip the notebook and be able to move with it when needed. It would be nice if there were more clear plastic pockets in the inside covers or on the back cover. Like a pencil holder? Just a thought. Thank You
This line of ring binders are the only ones I have been able to find that are easy to open the rings while on a music stand. I have had no difficulty opening the rings to rearrange pages and even groups of pages in sheet protectors while leaving the binder on the music stand. On all the other binders I tried the shelf of the music stand interfered with lever to open the rings. The one inch size will easily hold all the music for a evening gig even when loaded in sheel protectors. I now have assembled binders for each of the four band members and have started binders for future use and archives.
