I bought this for my son to use in school. Kids can really beat up their things but this binder should hold up very well for the long run. It costs a little more but he will not have to fight with it as with cheaper versions. It doesn't pop open on when dropped.
I like this binder but the only CON is that the front plastic part where you can put in a piece of paper to design it yea well that plastic thing rips easily!! If you need a quality binder I recomend buying a zippered MEAD binder that is quality!!
