Have tried other "durable" 3-ring binders and have been disappointed. This binder is holding up well and has no sign of wear. Even though we paid more for this binder- it was worth every cent!
What is great is the rubber edging. Keeps the binder from slipping on surfaces and allows you to pick it up easily...not slippery at all. The inside rings open and close right on the money so you can easily turn pages without the pages getting caught where the two edges of the metal clasps meet. Worth the $$ if you want less frustration. Thanks!
