This binder is the best overall one that I have found in the various office supply stores. The cover is very durable with the rubber guarded edges and binder spine. I have always preferred the "D" ring for ease of use and better protection of the documents. Although I am "Value Oriented" the durability of this binder makes it a high quality product as well as a excellent value. My wife is very rough on her binders carrying them from meeting to meeting. We find that these binders do not crack in the spine or tear at the edges. It will continue to be our binder of choice in the future.
This binder is very nice and is holding up very well to the everyday use/abuse that it gets by my 6th grader. She loves the color...she chose hot pink. She has a tab divider for each subject and this binder keeps all of her notes classwork homework assignments etc. neat organized and in one handy place. The clear covering/pockets on the outside are ideal for putting a personalized cover sheet or art work to make it her own. Plus it's a neat place to put a "reminder" note that can be easily seen. I would def recommend this binder.
We have bought several of these binders while the covers are durable the rings are not. You have to be very careful when turning pages/papers through the binder or you can vey easily break one of the rings and it will NEVER close properly again. It has happened on every binder. The rings are fragile. I would recommend for an older student not a young child.
have been buying these binders for a few years and they hold up very well compared to others that my kids have used for school. My daughter requests these..
Has survived my own 3 years of college so far replaced my son's after 3 years through middle school. :) Lasts a long time! Plus it doesn't have the off-gassing of vinyl products.
I wish there was more variety of colors/designs available for the 2" binder. The 1" and 1.5" have lots to choose from but not the 2". I buy these binders for both of my daughters and can usually get two years out of them. Cheaper binders fall apart and start to rip but these binders stay good even with daily use. I love that I can bring their old ones in every summer and get $2 towards a new one. This in addition to getting more than one year out of them makes the extra price worth it. I'm really happy with this product.
