The binder itself is fine but I have not been able to figure out the use for the inside pocket A pencil or pen falls out and it is not large enough to hold regular sized paper unfolded.
Our condominium complex had a 'pizza party' in which I took and printed out 148 digital images. I measured the height/thickness of the stack of printed sheets and it came to just over an inch. Since I wanted this notebook to be only for the August Pizza Party the 3-ring 1 1/2 inch hard cover binder was perfect. So I want to thank you.
It seems durable and meets the need. Haven't used the pocket - it does not seem strong enough to last everyday school use. I wish it was available in a more decorative style - the pretty binders were not big enough so I went with this
