Binder is very light and flimsy. It feels like thin plastic over weak cardboard backing. The front plastic was already delaminating when I got it. This would be 3 stars for an "ultra value" binder for "heavy duty" it's a joke. Avoid.
Very attractive binder at a very attractive price. I was able to compare it with a similar binder from a different source and Staples is the winner hands down. Better material better appearance very hand opening latch that works well for my arthritic hands. A win all around.
I am please with the binders on all points but one. I wanted a one-touch opening and it has that. But that means the farthest ring from the one-touch opening is a weak link. There is a tendency for that ring to open when the pages are turned. It's irritating when I have to turn the pages in a hurry and I worry that that constant pulling open of the ring will make it permanently stay open.
