The Better binder is the best one I have found in more than 40 years of use for historical compilations and for putting family histories together. It neither tears nor falls apart--meaning exterior and interior. I like the product's flexibility cover feature. I have told many others giving my exuberant recommendation to buy this binder.
i am a high-school student and my binders ordinarily break easily i have to always buy new binders. i asked my mom and she purchased it for me. it held all 5 of my classes work with both sections and subsections. it closes evenly and is very durable. i customized it by adding my own artwork to the cover. it looks very nice with it. i recommend it mainly for school however its purpouses are very universal. businesses are an ideal use for them as well. if you are currently searching for a good affordable binder this is the one for you.:)
I needed to get a strong good looking binder for my class presentation. after looking at several different binders I chose to buy the Staples Brand Binder. Its rubber bumper construction meant it closes evenly and covers over the pages. It is stupid easy to open. I was working with pages and labels and I opened the binder with one finger. It closes evenly. I debated buying the 2 inch binder because of the amount of items I was placing in the binder but int he end I went wight he 11/2. It was a good decision. Even with all the page protectors and folders and pages it still closed and held everything together. This product is a bit pricey but definitely for the money worth the value.
I use these for my course binders one for each unit of study: lots of colours and sizes so I can easily colour code each course. So durable (I actually collected data on this)that I feature them in the "binder talk" I have been giving to incoming parents at our school for the past few years. (how to help your child be organized e.g. buy good binders!)We also give them as prizes at the talk. Hinge is the best; D-rings keep pages from tearing; spot for label on spine; whole sheet can be inserted on front for table of contents schedule etc.
While this binder did seem a little pricy for my wallet I am glad that I bought this binder! It is very durable with some rubber lining to protect the edges. Also this binder is made out of a rubbery plastic with no cardboard in between. This allows the binder to be slightly bendable. I have only two problems with this binder. One is that the dividers stick out past the edges of the binder. Second are the cheaply made inside pockets of the binder. Additionally these pockets are very difficult to fit paper properly into them. Overall would I buy this binder despite these flaws? Yes I would.
