I love the notebooks and they really work well. The only change that I would make is to take the plastic pocket out with the fastener and just put a plastic sleeve in that you could put papers in but is not as intrusive to the notebook. I love how they are made so they don't come apart and love the different covers. I love the plastic sleeve on the front. They could also put one on the back and so you could put a sheet in there. I would definatly recommend it. I have purchase many and plan on purchasing more.
I bought these for my kids for school and they love them. They are the only binders that hold up to the pressure of kids. Usually the first thing to go out in a binder is the binding but these don’t. They take the constant opening and closing. I have an older one that has lasted for almost 2 years.
Child tested and parent approved! Easy exterior pockets allow slipping out insert flip over to label and decorate binder ends and front cover. Sturdy binder rings. Tried different types of binders and organizers as specified by grade level in Elementary school. We gave this new binder a try when they first came on the shelves at Staples and I refuse to buy anything else. I rather buy one sturdy binder that will survive the school year being crammed into an overstuffed backpack and tugged back out. They are still first choice of our now two college students. Hint: Save any that have only a little wear and tear and use to organize at home!
