My son 9 years old is VERY hard on his binders and such. This binder lasted him an entire school year last year. I would highly recommned it when durablility is what you need!!!
Even though they are more expensive than the other binders I got them when they were 50% off so it was a win-win! They come in bright colors and are very durable....they inspire me to be more organized..these things! I wish I could customize the color combinations they come in though!
