This is my 3rd year purchasing the Better View Binder. It's a durable notebook that outlasts the other brands. Both my kids like that we aren't replacing the binder mid-year! With the exception of the inside sleeve ripping a little the binder is a wise purchase!
I bought this binder last year for my daughter and we both loved it so much so this year I bought more different colors for both my daughters and their best friends are getting the same. I will never switch to another kind. I will advise all my friends and family to get those binders if they want to save time and money. I love the beautiful colors and the combination between the black and the blue is so gorgeous. My daughter's favorite color is the blue with the black trim I would like for the future for this company to add new colors like purple hit pink.......girls like fancy!
I bought this binder for my 10 going on 11 year old daughter because of the reinforced edges thinking it would be more durable. The secure edge gave me the false reassurance this binder would be difficult to break. On day 2 of the use of the notebook I noticed something was wrong. The seam next to the reinforced edge split. I am disappointed that we now have a broken binder. I am sure the split will continue to crack from use and it will be a short time that we will have to replace this binder. Unfortunately for me my daughter likes the look I do not want to re-purchase this notebook it could be an issue.
We purchased this binder for the new school year. After the 1st week of school the D-RIngs are separated and we are unable to 'bend them back'. It is being used by my 6th grade daughter and she is not rough with it. I could perhaps see this happening at the end of the school year but not the beginning!! Thinking of taking it back for a refund. Has anyone else experienced problems like this??
I've bought countless binders for my children over the years and these are tge first that don't crack break or pop open with regular use. I finally got these for my oldest child but was skeptical about the Better Binder name. Surely these would break down before the school year was over just like all the others. Well was I ever surprised! My oldest has had them last two years and is using them again this year. I just bought some for my youngest and the best advice I can give is choose colors your students really like because these last a long time.
This binder is the best and doesn't crack in the winter because of the rubber at the spine. Best binder i've had! Have been buying/using these for the last 5years!
