These binders are doing the job for us. We like the looks the d rings and the ease of handling. These books will get lots of handling and use and only time will tell if they can hold up. We have great hopes.
I uses these for my personal files and use too use a cheaper type of binder but have used these for years now and don't buy anything else. Well worth the price and the quality is very good. No sign of wear after years of use.
I love this binder so much. I have stepped on it and dropped it and it didn't break. I use it on a daily basis as I am a bus driver. So you can just imagine the bumps knock and hits this binder gets. O and not to mention the kicks it gets from the students. I would suggest this binder to anyone. I have even gone out and bought three more of them. So now I have orange teal black and pink. One for work and one for my coupons. Daughter can have the other two next year for school. These binders are heavy duty.
This is one of my favorite notebooks. One reason I like this notebook is the way the user opens the rings. The push release is easy to use. I also like this notebook because it has the clear plastic cover so that I can slide a personalized cover page in it. Also I really like the size. It's big enough but not too big. The only concern I have is that the rings do come offline after about four months' use. It makes it difficult if not impossible to turn the pages because they get caught on the misaligned rings.
