Good Binder
on April 5, 2014

This is a great binder. I use them all of the time for work. They last a long time for me because I am pretty hard on them. They look good too and I like the sleeve on the outside so I can create a paper to slip in that tells me what the contents of the binder is. I like the variety of colors and the durability of the product. I do use three or four a day so they fit nicely into a standard size brief case or courier bag. They are also easy to keep clean. I simply use a squirt or two of Windex and it takes the dirt right off. One draw back is that they are VERY pricey.
This is a very durable binder with lots of well-thought-out details. It should sustain several projects beyond its current use. It opens easily and lies flat. The D-rings open and close effortlessly and allow for smooth page turning. The pockets inside the covers are substantial enough for constant addition and removal of documents. The title window on the binding couldn't be easier to access. It handily fits all the riders pockets and tabs I've inserted for daily use. If you need a workhorse with style this binder is it!
This is a great notebook. Comes in a variety of pretty and bright colors. It has a black rubber edge on the ends of the covers and on the corners of the spine of the notebook where it opens and closes so that it won't crack or peel. I like the D shaped rings and the ease of opening them up. It has a nice clear pocket on the front of the cover so you can display a cover sheet. There are also great clear pockets on the inside of the front and back covers to store other papers or pamphlets. The spine also has a nice clear window display area so that you can put an easy to read label where is can be visable in your bookshelves.
I have a 9 year old boy that has to have a binder for his book bag. He kept breaking/ripping the regular binders so I decided to upgrade him from the cheaper one to this one. It looked very sturdy and I thought that it might stand up to him. I was wrong. The binder has already ripped in the same place the cheaper ones do. I should have just gone with a cheaper binder.
