The binders are very durable and hold up much better than traditional binders. That is the major pro. Most binders are made from cardboard or flimsy plastic that can easily break or develop a crease. I had one of this binders in a moving box underneath several books packed by the moving company not myself and the binder moved from New York to Washington state without a single crease bend or break. The only real down side is the price. If you are looking for a "deal" these are definitely not the binders for you. If you want a binder that will hold up to quite a bit of wear and tear and price isn't as important then you should purchase this binder.
This is by far the best binder I have used. It is durable beautiful (mine's pink) and unique Easy to use lies flat opens/closes easily is easy to customize. This binder is well worth the extra dollars than the standard cheap one. If you use your binder(s) a lot then use one that will hold up to the use.
daughter uses these for middle school so they take a beating but hold up great. material is easy to clean if needed and the d-rings are easy to open yet don;t open on their own unneccasrily. Wish I had bought these first before I bought the cheapos at the varieTy store. They are pricey but well worth the money thnking she will use them next yeat too!
My daughter uses this binder for school and her homework everyday. I recently picked up a "different binder" at the beginning of school and 1 month into school it wasn't closing properly. So I purchased this binder and all is good. No papers falling out.
