Binders hold up extremely well with extensive handling. I use mine to hold our family calendar and another for our family's favorite recipes--hence both get frequent use. Other binders I have used break down over time where the cover meets the spine of the binder.
This binder has an inside sleeve on both the front and back covers for loose or to be filed items. The front cover has room to slip in a sheet for a customized look. It is easy to open and takes almost no press to close the rings.
Well worth the money as this binder last for the school year and I am not having to get new ones mid year and move my stuff. Lots of colors so there is a color for every subject which is great for organization
