So the binder itself is great but the inside envelope needs to go or at least not be attached. I'm not particularly rough with things and it tore the very first time I used it. And now since I can't replace or remove it I'm stuck with a useless torn flap that catches on everything. Reading the reviews I see some people love the envelope maybe it could be something removable - i.e. three ring insert - vs. glued in? I have many of the 2" binders and love them they do not have the built in envelope. I guess my fault for not looking at the description of the 1 1/2" closely enough. Oh well back the other ones go.
I absolutely love these binders! They are easy to open/close having the inside pocket i can store things like pens and postit notes fortagging areas. Just awesome!
