We purchased these for our children for school. Our daughters 1st day of Middle school (as if not stressful enough) Then entire metal section with attached rings became seperated from cover and was dangling....yes the first day! Probably not the "Better Binder"
This binder is perfect for a young student. It is easy to open and close. The style is "cool" and up-to-date. I was most concerned with durability. This binder is perfect for being thrown around shoved in a desk jammed into a book bag and stuffed with papers books and folder.
I use binders daily and these are great! Very solid and sturdy. They take a lot of use and last for years. The opening mechanism is tight and reliable and the cover does not split at the seam. A little expensive but worth it!
This is the only binder I've found which lasts longer than a few weeks in use by my middle-school son. The other binders rip at the seams and the rings fail.
