The Perfect Binders for me
on July 24, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I found the Better View Binder to have several features that I need in a binder. I use my binders for personal recipe organization budgeting etc. First of all I found it to be very sturdy. The cover is washable. there is an insert for writing a "title" of the contents on the spine so I can switch out contents when I need to & simple write a new "title on a slip of paper & reinsert! I like the feature of a push down lever to open the rings it is easier on my fingers (I have some arthritis). And I can customize my binder by inserting a picture or recipe(s) on in the clear sleeve on front - a great way to display a table of contents. Or I have put a favorite recipe right in the front sleeve easy to see! I love the "rubberized" edge along the spine it doesn't "cut" into my hand. I bought the 1" and 1 1/2" widths as they are the easiest for me to grab onto. I bought several white binders and the display result is a very neat & tidy appearance.
This binder was recommended by an online professional organizer for keeping papers under control and categorized. The different colors make identifying contents easy. I use green for the garden red for medical blue for household yellow for kitchen (recipes) . . . Labelling the spine helps too but the colors make it fun. A very nice feature is that the binder lays flat when you open it -- neither cover flaps up. There are also clear corner pockets inside each of the covers for loose papers. Very good buy.
I am a college professor who uses these binders for all of my classes. They get a daily workout and have been used for years without failure. From the highly durable rubber binding to the easily-identifiable labels and colors I highly recommend them.
As a teacher I love these notebooks. They last forever unlike other notebooks whose rings get bent and don't meet together and your paper falls out. My own children insist upon using these notebooks.
I got this binder for my 8 year old niece. She would always need to replace her binder many times during the school year. This binder will stand up to the abuse she will put on it.
