NOT a Better Binder
on October 17, 2011
Posted by: Paula K.
One D ring on our 3" binder has already broken and the school year has only just begun. I regret spending the extra money on 4 so called "Better" binders.
This is a very nice binder. Durable easy to open and close and it comes in lots of cool color combinations. Also like the rubber-coated edges which help keep it from slipping around on the table. Just add some pocket pages to this and you're all set!
Purchased this binder for my 11 year old son who is in 6th grade. He is all boy and I think tears things up just to see if he can. This binder is the only one he has never tried to tear up and it functions and works beautifully. I would definitely purchase this item again. Well worth the cost.
The only kind of binders I buy for my high schoolers...the only one that lasts for the duration of a class! Prior to discovering these the cheaper binders would fall apart before the end of the year needing to be replaced. That doesn't happen with these. The one flaw is the plastic pocket on the outside cover rips apart before you would need to replace the whole thing but that would not prevent me from buying these.
I have bought several of this type of binder since they came out. The best feature that I know of is that I do not have to worry about the side seam ripping out. Even recommended this binder to several co-workers.
