I liked the 1 inch binder. I put together a bunch of materials in it and used the side pocket. It was the only teal-colored one left so I am glad I got it. I used the front plastic to put a cover as well
I’ve been buying these binders for about 4 years now and they have lasted much longer than the regular binders. 2-3 years from our experience. It’s worth spending the extra $$.
We buy these binders every year. Depending on use they may last the entire year or you may need to add some tape to hold them together later in the school year. I feel like they could e less expensive.
