"These are the simply the best binders"

I'm an instructor and I use binders frequently. The View Binder is my first choice always when making binder purchases. I love them because they are so so convenient durable and just all around suitable to my educational needs.
This is the last binder I will every purchase of this type. It is the third one this year and each time the D-rings fail. They are too expensive to ever buy again. I have been very disappointed with the poor quality of these binders. Never again.
I really needed this binder for a text book for school. After I had it filled I realized that the rings (2) didn't close all the way. I didn't have time to take it back so I had to put tape over them so the pages wouldn't get caught and rip anymore. The downside to this "fix" was that I couldn't pull individual chapters out to read or review so I constantly had to hall the binder with me as well. The binder itself was a little to flimsy to use to write on also.
I have used several sizes and I can fill them completely and everything stays neat and always looks professional. White ones are easy to clean. Even with extensive use they seem to hold up well. Love how they lay flat when open and will not slide on a smooth surface.
I have been using this binder design for 9 years so I continue to keep the same design. Over the years the binder part (rings) has become flimsier and less reliable. It opens very easily and pages constantly fall out. (I have to be very careful using the book. The older binders did not have this problem just the last two years). I may have to just bite the bullet and change all my binders to something more reliable.
