As noted above only Staples better quality binders are my preference. The real heavy duty binders are made with a one push button to open and they have worked very well as I purchased 3" 2" 1" binders and have no problem. This August I also purchased 8 binders with the plastic window on the side (shown above)for my Granddaughter for high school -- all various sizes which were required by her school; and different colors which she preferred in order to be able to tell her just what was which subject matter (3" 2" 1") and they work like a charm. Would have liked them to be more around $5 to $6 dollars instead of $8... due to other items needed. Just for the record I am 70 years old not 13 but still check marked the "I am 13 or OLDER TAB!!
These notebooks are great for school! The notebooks my kids had before only seemed to last half the school year. The Better view Binders we bought at the beginning of last year we started the school year with this year. We also bought a few more this August. They are definitely worth the extra money!
These are the BEST binders that I have found out in the market. The binders are very durable the price for them is a bit higher than a regular binders but trust me when I say this the price is worth it. I purchased 2 of them about 8 months ago and they still holding up and that says a lot coming from my end. I am a full time college student and subject my binders to a great deal of daily abuse. They are so good that I have even purchased these types of binders to my son that is in middle school and they are still intact. I will never purchase a different type of binder ever again.
Great binder. Holds up well and the color choices aid in organization of classes. The only con is that the plastic pocket folders on the inside of the covers rip very easily and after very little use. Otherwise the binder is sturdy and well-constructed. My high school daughter requests that I only buy these binders!
