These are the best binders I have been able to find. Yes they are expensive initially but I have never had one wear out. I am constantly replacing the cheap binders. Which really aren't cheap because they don't last. Now when a cheap binder wears out I always replace it with a "better binder'. I recommend these.
I bought this binder and am very happy with it. It is the perfect size for keeping a medium amount of hole-punched loose leaf paper and the inside pouch is very well done.
Very sturdy with nice bright colors. Pocket on inside cover. I have a bought a few in the last two years. The colors make it easy to recognize the folder I want. The price is a little high though.
This binder used to be great but the D-rings on this model are now cheaper and no longer have the softer plastic used to open and close the lock. It was such a minor QOL thing that was really helpful in retrospect - disappointing to see it gone.
