These binders by far are the best I have invested in for my kids for school. Yes they are a little more expensive but well worth it because you will never have to replace them during the school year. They do not tear at the seams because of the rubber reinforcements. They don't bend or separate because there is no cardboard in between the covering especially if they get wet. These are the first binders I have bought that I don't have to replace them in the middle of the semester or year because they broke or fell apart. Replacements of the other types end up costing more overall than just buying this one the first time. I am sure they would last a few years. We replace them yearly here because my daughter tears off the sleeve and writes on the outsides with permanent marker to customize them for each class. If there is a problem with them Staples will replace them within a year. They have an outside sleeve to put papers and a side window to slide in a label and an easy one hand tab to open and close the rings. I will never go back to wasting my money on traditional binders that I have replaced in as little as 6 weeks into the school year. I definitely recommend the investment in these.
I use binders for business and personal. This seems to be a quality product. Just disappointed that the transparent cover slip tore so immediately with gentle handling.
So i bought 20 of these in september and normally my daughter would go through 10 binders a month for school its not almost feb and shes still using the same ones.. they are the same as when we boguht them.. we will sonn have to buy somemore for her next year of school.. all herfriends love the colours and durability bottom line BUY THEMMM!!!!
These were used to re-organize my daughter's backpack. The big trapper keeper type binders were weighing her down and hurting her back/neck. These are lighter even though she needs to carry more of them and have helped with her organization
