I purchased this for my son these are being used more now than the portfolio type. Since all his class material is now kept in the binder he needed something a little more durable. We had originally bought the standard folder but they can't take the abuse and are not as flexible as these. We will definitely purchase these from now on.
I have bought several of these binders the last few years. Some of them are durable and still functional but some broke and fell apart before being used. The cost for the binder seems a bit much but it does seem durable and reliable enough to get me to buy it again.

3" Staples® Better® View Binder with D-R

I bought three of these on the buy two get 1 free special one blue one orange one pink. I too the blue one out the bag about a week later and it just did not seem as strudy as the regular black binder. I open and closed the prongs and they are acually loose. The check it I touched the prongs to see how stable they were and it moved with really no effort. I checked out the other two colors as well. These folders just seem to be a bit flimsy and not as stable as the regular black folders. I really do not like them. I want sturdy and durable within reason.

Binder cover broke after less than a year. Took it in to get a replacement thinking lifetime guarantee meant they would replace a broken one. They said nope it was worn out and that's not prt of the gaurentee. I guess they have a different meaning for life.
I'm an admin for a non-profit. I've ordered about a dozen of these and none have held up to use for more than a month or so. Even with half the capacity of paper the rings don't close tightly and sometimes become unaligned. This causes a few pages in the middle of a stack to become loose but only on a hole or two.....so they stick out from the edge when you move the book and end up getting torn out all together. For the price I paid I expected much better quality. Very disappointing.
