I have had this binder for 8 months and use it daily. Within the past month I've found the rings don't fully secure at the tip anymore - just makes a less smooth turning of the pages but nothing has fallen out. The interior pockets get very loose after use and eventually hold nothing close. The outside plastic cover ripped within days. That said it's better than any other binder I've found at Staples to use. It's lightweight easy to carry and I like the bendable plastic. When I replace it which is likely soon I'll wait for a sale and get the same kind.
My son always chooses these because of their ease to open and durability and trust me -- he knows quality when it comes to school supplies - what lasts and what doesn't!
Each week I have 30-40 cases to review and my cases are put in these binders. I use these binders on a daily basis. I have been using them for over a year now and they are the most durable binder I have ever used. The binders I have been using for a year look just a good as the new binder I just bought. Incredible value for the money.
This binder is mainly used for school to hold my notes and notebook and its the best binder ive ever used. What i love about this binder is the lightweight feel- it does not feel like a heavy clumsy binder likewise i enjoy the extensive array of colours more specially the bright colours like the yellow. The binder is also durable but it is also not in one way. The plastic covers at the front and the inside of biner tend to rip very eaisly and this creates a lot of problems especially if the inside cover is holding my notes. Other than that flaw it is great!
