I love this brand of binder. I've re-used this style binder several times and it is still in good condition. The rings still close tightly. The clear pockets in the front and back are very useful. The color choices are great. I often use the binder which most closely matches my client's logo and it is then very easy to grab the correct binder. Durable well-made product that is worth the little bit of additional cost since they can be used more than once and still look nice and professional. Good value.
I highly recommend the Staples Better Binder over other less expensive options. With frequent use the cheaper ones split and break down in a short time and soon need to be replaced. I have been using Staples Better Binders for years and they continue to stay in good condition without splitting at the spine. The rings and release triggers work smoothly and easily and the D-rings allows you to store a lot more pages in the same space as the round ring binders.
This binder is good quality. It has a flexibility that will hold up but will allow the binder to lay flat when opened. The edges are protected so that it isn't going to be damaged with heavy use. The only characteristic that seems doubtful is the binder clip that opens the rings. With multiple uses I'm not sure it will hold up although after several openings and closings it seems to be. I bought this binder for its durability and because it's lightweight as well as being relatively small for constant use.
We bought this to use as a photo album for a senior with shaky hands. We bought plastic photo pages as inserts and it works great! It's rigid and has tightly closing rings. It's easy to open using a tab at the bottom of the binder but does not open when the pages are tugged on. there is a clear window on the spine wide enough to slip a tiny photo into. The texture is slightly trippy making it easy to keep a hold of and not drop. Therer is a clear front cover page and clear pockets inside the covers which work great for notes.
This binder was filled with photos and information for a 100th Birthday celebration. The recipient loves pink so we chose that color. The binder has an expensive feel. looks good and is easy to work with. The D-Ring is a nice design. We will buy the same type in the future. The lady who received this gift loved it! it was a centerpiece of her display! She wanted her visitors to pick it up and handle it. For so many years binders of this sort were Spartan in their appearance. So glad Staples offers choices!
