Best Binder EVER for Students
on August 21, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
This is the best binder I have ever found in regards to durability for students in 6-12th grades. As a teacher I see plenty of binders trashed. My own daughter and I were shocked when her binder lasted not one - but 2 years in school. It still works so I get it and she has two new ones for high school. I recommend them to everyone.
We have tried many binders for our kids for school. With all the slamming into lockers and jamming into backpacks the binders without the rubber edges just tear and we need to purchase more during the school year. So it pays to spend a little more and have the binder last all year. In addition they get jam packed full of paper even though the teachers have "binder cleanouts" regularly. The rings hold without popping open and the color selection is extensive enough that there are color options for all classes and there are even some custom colors and designs.
I used to buy the heavy duty binders from other stores until I found these binders at Staples. My son is rough on binders and I was buying several each year. After buying a few of these Staples binders I only had to buy one per subject per year and a few lasted for the next year. The rubberized spine is very durable and the rings open and close easily. They cost a little more than the other brands of binders but you only have to buy it once per year so it ends up being less. Just throw in some tabbed dividers with pockets for more storage room and organization and you are good to go. I highly recommend these binders for any middle to high school student.
I love this binder. I use one for each of my classes and I can keep my notes and assignments for all of my classes perfectly organised just how I need them. I know that this binder will not fall apart. I will always come back to this type because they have all of the colors I need for my classes. I love these binders ad have told many of my friends to get this type. I love them.
Well constructed but the material sticks when putting it into a back pack. Plus is is wider than a normal binder and it won't fit into a back pack easily. Best to use when you don't need to carry it out of your office. Too bad the designer did not measure a back pack before making it larger!
