This is a very durable binder with lots of well-thought-out details. It should sustain several projects beyond its current use. It opens easily and lies flat. The D-rings open and close effortlessly and allow for smooth page turning. The pockets inside the covers are substantial enough for constant addition and removal of documents. The title window on the binding couldn't be easier to access. It handily fits all the riders pockets and tabs I've inserted for daily use. If you need a workhorse with style this binder is it!
This is a great notebook. Comes in a variety of pretty and bright colors. It has a black rubber edge on the ends of the covers and on the corners of the spine of the notebook where it opens and closes so that it won't crack or peel. I like the D shaped rings and the ease of opening them up. It has a nice clear pocket on the front of the cover so you can display a cover sheet. There are also great clear pockets on the inside of the front and back covers to store other papers or pamphlets. The spine also has a nice clear window display area so that you can put an easy to read label where is can be visable in your bookshelves.
I have a 9 year old boy that has to have a binder for his book bag. He kept breaking/ripping the regular binders so I decided to upgrade him from the cheaper one to this one. It looked very sturdy and I thought that it might stand up to him. I was wrong. The binder has already ripped in the same place the cheaper ones do. I should have just gone with a cheaper binder.
