It was what I needed. The dividers fit perfectly. I sometimes have to cut the holes off and then I have to punch in new ones just to make it fit. I was able to go and get things done as I had planned without having to make any adjustments.
I purchased these binders because the smaller version was the only binder in stock that came in the particular array of colors a required to fit in with the office color coding scheme and I prefer the symmetry of uniformity to a haphazard combination of all different varieties of binder at my desk….the standard binders did not have all the colors I needed.I’m glad that this binder filled my requirements because the thumb tab for opening the rings is not only functional but also comfortable and simple to access and the rubber at the edges of the binding seems like it will hold up better. They also look sharp on the desk. Title tab is also good very visible.
These binders are well-constructed sturdy and easy to use. However Staples recently made a change that wasn't an improvement for which I'm subtracting a star. A bulky plastic pouch has replaced the flat plastic sheet inside the front cover. The pouch takes up a lot of space but is too small to hold standard letter-size paper. It also has a button-and-loop fasterner that catches and crumples the first pages in the binder even stiffened tab dividers. I hope Staples will return to the earlier design. In the meantime I may cut out the pouch to save space and prevent damage to the contents.

We apologize that the view cover isn't an improvement for you. We appreciate your feedback and will share it to improve for the future.
These binders are superb because of the ease of opening the rings the sturdiness and the overall beauty of them. I am thrilled with these binders - they are the best I have ever seen!
