I wanted a large notebook to organize a lot of papers for an important meeting. This binder looked great. But with a lot of papers in it the binder does not support itself well. Maybe because the rubber is soft. Also when I turn from one section of pages to another the lower ring separates and papers come loose. Something that I do like about this binder is that the rings are very easy to open and close.
Great binder with a large variety of color options. Love the durability of the outside construction. The rings however do become misaligned after a period of time. You have to open and close carefully.
I got this because I'm tired of vinyl-covered binders splitting under heavy use and going sideways on the bookshelf. Even though this one doesn't permit smooth turning of pages (they get caught on the uneven ring closures) I will probably buy more like this soon.
Best looking and performing binders I have found. I find the pocket on the front on the binder to be completely unnecesary. They should probably come both ways. Some of the colors offered must be geared to young students (to be kind). I have about a dozen of these gave away all my older binders.
