I purchased 5 Avery binders and 5 Staples binders. I am very rough on my binders because I have them with me when I attend craft shows and they are tossed around in my car on the floor shoved in a box etc. The Avery binders were a disaster after about 6 weeks. The covers were bubbled and the inside pockets were torn and shreddy (new word?). They were difficult to clean and keep clean. My Staples binders are a gift from heaven. They hold their shape whether they are under boxes of items or shoved in the boxes. They wipe clean with a damp rag and stay clean. The rubber covers look brand new. There is no better binder. In fact I have 6 Avery binders I am returning so that I can get more Staples binders.

I bought the binders for my high school age kids to use at school and they're a great hit. All the other kids want to know where we got them. They are very sturdy and I expect to be able to use them for many years to come.
More money but well worth it. Use these for product sample books look professional outlast inferior binders. Not sure why pocket is inside front cover - seems to get in the way more than anything else.

Good sturdy binders

The binders are very durable and hold up much better than traditional binders. That is the major pro. Most binders are made from cardboard or flimsy plastic that can easily break or develop a crease. I had one of this binders in a moving box underneath several books packed by the moving company not myself and the binder moved from New York to Washington state without a single crease bend or break. The only real down side is the price. If you are looking for a "deal" these are definitely not the binders for you. If you want a binder that will hold up to quite a bit of wear and tear and price isn't as important then you should purchase this binder.
