I love the fact that these binders rings open and close so smoothly and never bind themselves. My son noticed these binders and talked me into buying them. He said they were the most durable for school and for our office. He was right.
I use the product every day to carry around various checklist routines followup forms. Protects the documents and holds up well. Price is a little steep though especially in this economy.
The product was fine. I was just fortunate that the store I was at had the color in stock (basic black) that I needed that day. This was a last minute need and would not have had time to order it on-line.
I am tutoring photoshop students so I wanted to gather together all my notes and tips from workshops Ive taken so I could find them when a student wanted to learn a certain thing. I purchased sheet protectors and filled them with my notes. Everything is easy to find now. It is a binder that is easy to open and pleasant to use.
My 13-yr old son DESTROYS binders throughout the school year just by using them throwing his backpack down etc. He really likes this type of binder. It is pretty durable (for him) and the front and inside pockets are really handy for keeping track of loose papers.
I have at least 15 of these we use as job folders in a construction oriented business. Traditional binders get beat up far to quickly the stand up to whatever the crew can do to them.
