I actually bought two of these based on a 1 1/2 inch version that had survived my 14 year old son who has a tendency to play basketball soccer or football wirh his backpack. The rings stay lined up and the binding doesn't break.
Nice sturdy notebook with easy open rings that stay closed! I dislike when some notebooks have rings that don't always close all the way and then pages come out when you are trying to open and close the notebook. I also like the clear plastic front cover that protects the notebook and it also allows a title page or a picture to be easily inserted. It's nice having the ability to easily insert some type of indicator of what is enclosed within the binder along the 3" side of the notebook too.
I use these in various sizes for my business. While we try to be paperless there are certain reports that need to be printed and sorted and analyzed. The binders work great for that and they fit in my suit case nicely when I need to take the documents on trips. The D rings work well when you are trying to flip bunches of sheets back and forth. Recommend this.
I was pleased with the quality of these binders as well as the price. I find them useful for long term filing of important papers because I am able to organize them and they don't get misfiled as they would with hanging file folders. I can also flip through to find what I need without having papers falling all over the place. They are sturdy and can hold up to frequent use.
