These are the most durable binders out there. If you or your kids are hard in their binders and want to avoid buying 2 binders over the school year, or want your binder to last more than a year, this is the one to buy.
They are a real competition for the Avery Heavy Duty One Touch EZD Ring Binders which are truly Excellent and which I prefer for myself.
But for the kids I will only get these Staples Better View Binders because they hold up to the kids' unintended but inevitable abuse.
Better Binders' name could be changed to Best Binders. I've used mine for years and love-love-love. Please bring back the half-inch full-size Better Binders.
