I buy these for my kids for school - they like to customize them with photos and mementos in the clear sleeve on the front. They work great in the beginning but pages and folders end up getting snagged as the rings start to separate throughout the year. I would say it’s worth it for a year of being toted back and forth to school and being shoved in and out of lockers though! You will more than likely want to purchase a new one to avoid frustration during the next school year!
These binders are aptly named. Because they are more durable than other binders and are of great quality. I still have better binders from prior years that are used to shelve my college notes and materials in my bookcase. I would strongly recommend these binders over cheaper ones because they pay for themselves in the long run and you will not have to buy new ones in the middle of the school year because they are coming apart like the other "not so better" binders.
This is the best binder my son has ever used. He is extremely tough on his binders. He carries them everywhere and everyday. They are in and out of his backpack which get thrown around often. This binder has stood up to a lot of wear and tear.
