I have this binder in this size and in 1/2". The 1/2" one lasted a long time and is still going strong. I like how the black material lets the binder cover flip over really easy but doesn't wear out.
I love these binders! The construction is durable and does not lead to breakage on the bends like traditional binders do. I have several of thes me binders now and would never go back to the others!
I bought 5 of these binders to use in my elementary school classroom. The quality construction and easy-open ring made them an easy choice. The clear cover is wide enough for an 8 1/2 x 11 paper which just a touch of extra room. This is great for me since I am used to the clear-view binders allowing the front paper that allows me to identify the contents to move all around. I find these binders to be professional of good quality (not just "Better" as their name indicates) and the range of colors was an added bonus. Definitely worth the cost!
I like the insert on the spine for identifying the contents of the binder. The rings are excellent quality and the colors are up-to-date. However the pockets on the inside are not roomy enough for 8 1/2" x 11" papers and it is difficult to insert documents in them. I would prefer inside pockets that are horizontal rather than vertical.
Only had it a couple of weeks but is seems much more sturdy that previous binders I've used. Gets used alot and sometimes falls without papers coming out. Pretty expensive but if it continues to hold up a worthy investment.
