2" Better Binder in Pink

I was very sad to see the Staples near me close because these are now the only binders I will use. Over the years I've had multiple brands of binders and these are by far my fav. In fact I had to order these because I went back to school and couldn't abide any other binder. The D-ring has has an easy to use one-touch opener that is grippy to keep your finger from sliding off. I don't really notice the need for any pressure difference on my 2" with a whole textbook in it (over 300 pages) or my 1.5" with my class notes. Like all three-ring binders the pages can occasionally catch when leafing through but with care I never tear out pages. What I do like about these D-rings is that my back pages seem to take less wear than a traditional binder. There is a nice slide-in pocket in the front and rear flaps which I like for handouts etc. Another thing I really like about these are the rubberized edges and flap ends. The don't slide off tables yay! Also even though my finger nails are not long I have minorly injured fingers trying to pick up a binder from the floor or a shelf and had them slide off the finger catching the nail which really hurts. These just don't do that. I assume the rubber was for durability rather than my comfort and they are that too. I have one for Cub Scouts that had been taken everywhere for three years. It has been carried to weekly meetings tossed on archery ranges and sat on at Day Camp and it still looks new. I also really like the pink color it's a beautiful fuschia color (I'm not really a pink person) rather than a hot or pepto pink. The only con is that 2" binders are really huge. I wish there was a 1 3/4 because that would be perfect. Anyway I LOVE LOVE LOVE these binders. I now have about half a dozen of them in various sizes and colors. Can't wait for my other binders to die so I can replace with Staples Better Binders.
I use the binder as a scrapbook of my great grandson's Cub Scout accomplishments and this binder is excellent for that purpose. It is big enough to hold a years worth of accomplishments and is very easy to page through.
