The pockets inside the front and back cover don't hold papers or CD/DVDs very well. Items can fall out of the pocket and against the rings and subsequently be lost. A slot or pouch for a pencil/pen would be helpful.
This is a great binder. I bought these for my kids for school. I bought a total of 12 binders and the only thing that I wish was different is the price. In my opinion they are very expensive.
This is the first binder that has ever lasted the entire school year. My 16 year old son is very disorganized and very hard on all his supplies. This past year was the first time that I didn't have to replace any of his binders. I did buy him new ones this year but he really didn't need them. Definately worth spending a little extra because in the long run it will cost less.
