Instead of naming them “better” binder they should be named “best” binder. I have been buying these for the past 6 years. These binders hold up to heavy use do not tear at the seams warp or cause the rings to misalign. Whenever I need a binder for work or personal these are the only ones I buy.
Although I liked the colors and the product looked nice on the shelf. I have yet to use it as my classes start in the fall. This binder is supposed to be more durable but looks more like it's an old binder that has been reconstructed. I feel the price was too much for what people can generally afford. I would not have payed this much for a binder again.
