My high school student son is very tough on his binders. This is the only one that makes it through the school year. The plastic on the front is not fully intact but the rings and sides stay together well.
I purchased this 3" Staples brand binder for my Macro-economics class in college. I admire the fact that it is a rubberized one so that it is a very sturdy construction and it will stay put and not slide around when I am using it and it won't fall apart like most of the others I've bought and used over the years. I am just sorry that I didn't (and was unable to) purchase another 1 or 2 while I was there. What was I thinking? I knew darn well that I wasn't going to be able to cram all the power point printouts of the slides used in the classroom in there!! I'll certainly be going back real soon and this time I think I'll get 2. Or maybe more...!! :-D
I use the Staples Better View Binders at work and they are also the only binders my teenage daughter will use for school. If you have to keep binders in eyesight in your home or office these are great because they have a sharper look than a standard binder and therefore present better hence the name I'm guessing?! They come in a variety of colors and sizes and are extra durable for heavy use. My teenager really appreciates the array of colors and the fact that they don't fall apart half-way through the school year like some of the cheaper binders. I highly recommend this product for personal and/or professional use.
I use these for inventory invoices. They are constantly being opened and closed. The thinner binders split on the seems these do not. The only problem I have had is the largest one's rings sometimes do not close all the way.
This is a great binder holding up well. However I really like this binder with the finger hole. I wish they carried those in stock in all sizes not just the 4" and above sizes.
Being a student who loves things to be neat and organized I'm always trying to find the things that'll ensure tidy organization. This binder endures it all and will last even through the roughest of treatment. It stays neat (ie doesn't tear at the seams etc.). I've had one for about a year that I've used for a few classes and it's still in great shape. They're a little spendy (for a binder) but I'd rather have this type for a little more than multiple others that get torn up and likely cost the same if not more to replace.
