This binder is extremely durable and ideal for school use. My daughter has been able to re-use these binders from the previous school year. I have found that the other brands rip at the binding seam halfway through the school year!
This is the only notebook that I have found that lasts a full school year without getting torn and rings breaking. With other notebooks I was replacing them within the school year while these last at least one year and some have lasted the following school year as well. It is well worth paying a little extra for.
I always buy this particular binder. They have a high quality appearance on the shelf don't crack or split the rings are well constructed and the color choices are good. I wouldn't mind a few more color options.
This is a great binder brand. We have used these binders for the past 3 years and all 6 are still usable. The only reason I buy new ones is because my girls like to get a different color each year. The only negative comment is that the front clear sleeve has torn on 2 of them. But since the rest of the binder is still in great shape we just tape it up and keep using it. This is a quality binder that lasts more than the school year.
