I use the binders for active business project organization. It works and feels like it has quality materials and construction. It takes its share of handling and abuse. It looks good and helps me look and feel prepared because items I place in it are there when I need them. On the down side my co-workers keep "borrowing" my extras.
I really love these binders because my daughter is so rough and goes thru atleast 2 to 3 of the regular other heavy binders. These lasted the entire year and is still good for next year. The only dislike is the side pocket that goes up and down and that she tore. Love the colors and they are very durable.
This binder is has a softer side but is VERY sturdy. It slides easily into my bag and is the perfect size and type of material so that it doesn't get stuck. As a math instructor I use it to keep ALL of my lesson plans tests and quizzes organized. The D-rings are the only way to go!
Myriad household uses: organizing family keepsake documents recipes my travel "black book" cleaning tips medical information tips on animal care gardening ideas & diary financial statements daily calendar sheets with upcoming events info computer lessons warranties etc. Couldn't imagine life without these binders!
I used it for language arts class in 7th grade it stayed together through the school year 180 or more days. i had a crammed locker and it was easy to get in and out. its not like the other binders that fall apart with in a month of use. i will continue to use this binder through the school and work years!!
