Good quality solid binder. Clips function well and paper moves freely. Single sheet front and back inside pockets are useful. Easy to insert a front page and also particularly like the shortened and easy spine label insert. Only downside is that it doesn't have the paper restrainer bar you might expect to find on bigger binders to keep papers snugly in place when not in use. The plastic is of good quality and the contrasting black detail both smartens and protects the binder itself.
My daughter started using these binders in high school. Now she is almost done with college and these are the only binders that last. With the cloth like hinges and rugged material she manages classes that have a lot of handouts and notes. This is especially useful with the larger bindings 2 and 3 inch binders. In college this is the standard for her and when I buy one it's because she needs to keep the notes from the previous class in a good reference order and get a new one for the next semester. They may be more expensive but they are worth the money.
A good sturdy binder I love4 it. It holds a lot and is easy to use. The quilty of this binder is made well and will last a long time. You may pay a little more for it but it's worth it. You won't have to keep replacing a binder. I am thinking of replacing some of my other binders for this model. I will be able to put 2 or 3 material I have in the old binders in just one of these. The colors arealso nice.The old saying goes you get what you pay for.I would put these binders on a display by themselves and see how they sell.
After a few months one of the rivets popped out and the binder came apart. The binder was always used gently never abused. I took it into the store and asked for an exchange. The staples employee said "no". I said the website says "100% satisfaction guaranteed". He said it does not say that on the binder they do not guarantee satisfaction on binders only on electronics. I sent an email to Staples customer service all I got was an automated respnse saying that my email will be replied to in the order in which it was received.
My eighth grade daughter asked me to buy this binder for her Spanish class since her old basic binder only lasted four months. She tells me this binder is awesome and the rubber corners really help from keeping the corners becoming bent torn and helps keep the plastic coating on. In the past her binders had a tendency to slip off her desk but this binder's rubber corners have solved that problem. The D-Rings offer better control and ease of turning papers dividers and folders.
