I purchased the Better Binder in fact I purchased 7 of them. They are a bit more spends but worth it! They stand up to a lot of use without the cracking along the folds. It pays to buy quality if you are using it a lot!
The rubber edges helps keep from snagging clothes and from getting sharp edge plastic cuts. Rubberize spine to keep from snagging clothes and pinching skin. Easy open rings with the touch of a finger. Easy spine insert for easy identification of your note book. Customize the outside front window pocket with HEADLINE text CHARTS or BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK. The cover easy to clean.
I got these binders to fit on my bookshelf. They were too deep and protruded off my bookshelf so I had to return them because they looked awful. I thought binders were a standard size. Very disappointed because I liked the colors.
The binder is strong and durable. The cover is edged in rubber for added protection. Due to the superior contruction these binders are able to be used hard and stand up to it. I also love the color selection that makes it easy to organize my classes.
