Since I bought my first Staples Better Binder I will use no other. They are attractive to the eye but also a sturdy product. The rings open and close easily and the pages turn smoothly.
I have gone through many different binders to hold my recipes. A friend told me to check this one out. I am a messy cook so I tend to get food water etc. on the binder. This one has been great. Not only does it finally hold all my recipes but when I get it dirty it just wipes clean. I especially love the rubber that reinforces the edges. The other ones would bend and tear at the corners. It is a little wider than the cheaper ones but that hasn't been an issue. It also has two pockets in the front and back. I use these to hold the recipes that I am using for the week. Great purchase and I will buy again.
1st time using this new model binder(s). Always get 'view' and own many colors. This 'better' binder is good I really like the rubber edging and feel. The 1 button release for the rings is magic and the color palette is sweet. Do believe I will be a new convert to this style binder. Though I do miss the 1/2 page front/back envelopes...the clearview replacement is a bit clumsy and unforgiving so if you have unpunched pages you may be challenged to stow them until you get to your hole punch. I do recommend trying this product.
