I started using these binders almost a year ago. They are very sturdy and the D-ring is better than the round ring. I like that they come in bright colors and have a front cover with a pocket. I bought them for my 8th grader this year for school and she likes them also.
This is 3rd year I'm purchasing these binders for my school aged kids. These binders last! I had purchased regular binders which had to be replaced during school year because they broke or corner are worn etc. Not these Better Binders. They last school year after school year. I am not buying any other brands.
