I like the insert on the spine for identifying the contents of the binder. The rings are excellent quality and the colors are up-to-date. However the pockets on the inside are not roomy enough for 8 1/2" x 11" papers and it is difficult to insert documents in them. I would prefer inside pockets that are horizontal rather than vertical.
I liked the rubberized construction it seems sturdy. Thats why i purchased it. But it's exactly that rubberized edging that catches and hinders the insertion and removal of this binder into a bag or backpack. If this binder just sat on a shelf I'd say it was perfect. Beware backpack users! It will frustrate you every time you put it in your bag!
My husband and I are both keyboard players. We each have our own set of music. These binders are replacing all the others we have had. They are durable hold lots and come in lots of colors. I also use these Better Binders for organizing paperwork for several organizations that I work with. Having lots of colors keeps everything organized.
Only had it a couple of weeks but is seems much more sturdy that previous binders I've used. Gets used alot and sometimes falls without papers coming out. Pretty expensive but if it continues to hold up a worthy investment.
This binder seems to be very durable. The only problem with it is I bought it for my middle school daughter to use for school. She is having a hard time opening the rings. I have no problem. So it may be more suited for adult use. We will have to see if she gets better with it. I was hoping to try this one out to see if it holds up better during the school year and getting pulled in and out of the locker. It costs a little more but if I don't have to buy as many binders it will be worth the price. Of course if my daughter doesn't have more luck opening the binder it will be out even if it holds up better.
I had a mish-mash of document binders that I have purchased over the years. None have an exceptional appearance. When I first saw these at Staples I knew that ALL my old binders will have to go. Now I have a nice clean look on my bookcase shelves....THANKS!
