I really liked the first edition of these binders much better! I find the insert inside pocket inside the front and back covers maximizes the usefulness of these binders. Also would like a “Dark Brown” binder color to match my dark wood desk and shelving!
I have always liked these binders. They stand up to heavy use. However on the new binders the inside cover "flap-type " plastic sleeve has been replaced with a bulkier envelope type plastic holder that I dislike a lot. Takes up too much bulk in the folder and I am considering cutting it out! I don't know why you messed up a goid thing. New and improved doesn't do it in this case.
My daughter was hoping to get a red binder but there weren't any so the yellow is fine. I was really surprised to see how expensive all binders are these days. This one is sturdy and more durable than cheaper ones.
While you may not like the price of this binder in the mass market availability of utility binders this binder is absolutely worth the money. It opens easily yet closes securely every time. This is a binder that will not need replacing.
