We have to pull out this binder at least 20 time a day in the office and flip through pages but after a couple weeks of use the rings do not securely close and pages fall out. I've already exhcanged it twice and have gone through three binders hoping that the rings were just defective but it's happened every time! Tired of exchanging it and I finally just tried to return it but I no longer have the receipt so they won't take it back. Will just have to toss it because it's more of a hassle than anything else!
This binder is fantastic! It holds up to the constant abuse my son puts it through traveling through his school day in and out of the backpack and locker several times daily. And it doesn't show any wear yet! Well worth the buy.
After overloading a one inch binder with recipes printed and punched and more in page protectors I took advantage of the binder trade-in discount. Anyone know how Staples actually recycles all of those binders?
These binders are great! My son has used one every year through Middle School and High School and they survive the rough treatment for the whole school year! Our Staples Store offers a recycle program where you can turn in your old binder for a monetary credit towards a new binder so each year he picks out a different cool color. ( Plus it would be boring to have the same color over and over again.) There is plenty of room inside for all of his school supplies. He carries paper pens and pencils using a three-ring pencil case calculator graph paper and double-sided three-ring pocket folders (also from Staples) neatly inside. Everything is organized and easy to reach! : )
This is the go-to binder for my kids in junior high. It is durable comes in great colors and the view binder aspect allows them to add their own flair.
I love the Better Binders! They hold up in my classroom like no others. I can leave them on student desks the floor - just about anywhere - and they do not break down. I like the 'rubber' bindings so I can easily bend the cover back and get to what I need. The one button for opening the rings is also great. There are a wide variety of colors and sizes as well. My classroom is color coded and very organized. I tell the parents of my students that the Better Binder is the way to go. They last all year even in the bottom of backpacks! They are great!
