STURDY BINDERS !

These binders are great! My son has used one every year through Middle School and High School and they survive the rough treatment for the whole school year! Our Staples Store offers a recycle program where you can turn in your old binder for a monetary credit towards a new binder so each year he picks out a different cool color. ( Plus it would be boring to have the same color over and over again.) There is plenty of room inside for all of his school supplies. He carries paper pens and pencils using a three-ring pencil case calculator graph paper and double-sided three-ring pocket folders (also from Staples) neatly inside. Everything is organized and easy to reach! : )
This is the go-to binder for my kids in junior high. It is durable comes in great colors and the view binder aspect allows them to add their own flair.
I love the Better Binders! They hold up in my classroom like no others. I can leave them on student desks the floor - just about anywhere - and they do not break down. I like the 'rubber' bindings so I can easily bend the cover back and get to what I need. The one button for opening the rings is also great. There are a wide variety of colors and sizes as well. My classroom is color coded and very organized. I tell the parents of my students that the Better Binder is the way to go. They last all year even in the bottom of backpacks! They are great!
Teacher asked for this size and the color and the clear protector in the front. Nice price after tagging in old binders and getting an additional 30% off. These binders are sturdy and will last all year long. We usually buy what is cheap or on sale. Sometimes the dating is true "you get what you pay for".
Bought 3 Inch binder as required for Middle School. Although very big and everyday use--still like new. This year we are opting for the 2 Inch just because it is not as bulky as the larger size we could have gotten another year out of the 3 inch but it was just too big for my small 6th grader to carry back and forth to school. Also because of its size it took up a lot of room in her backpack Would recommend spending the extra money and getting the "Better" quality--it lasts
These binders are very durable and have lasted my kids through multiple school years. The only thing I would change is to make the clear plastic pockets on the inside & outside of the binder more durable as they do have a tendency to tear. There are several good color choices. These are the only binders I will buy now because I know they will last throughout the school year and beyond. I also appreciate that they are available in several different sizes to fit various classroom needs.
I used this binder to organize annual compliance documents. It is attractive and sturdy and should hold up for years. I bought several more for my personal use and work.
