This is a good product. I use the 1" binders for manuals and was able to trade in the old binders that did to have the facility to put a cover sheet in front to indicate the name of the manual. And I like the D-ring the papers lie flat when it is opened.
This binder isn't just an average binder and wasn't the everyday buy for me. I was looking for a binder to use as a cookbook but wanted it to be able to hold up to the occasional wet touch of hands or sauce covered hands while protecting the documented recipes inside. The durable plastic cover does just that and easily wipes down without hindering its own structural integrity while protecting the content. It far exceeds the quality of cheaper versions from other stores but at a comparable price. I would buy this item again
