I got this binder for my kids & it seems withstanding the daily usage so far (only 1 week). The color (purple) is very nice and the D ring is easy to use. Will buy it again.Will report back if there's any other issue down the road.
My husband and I do a lot of traveling and when we come home I place my copied photos in special pages and keep them in heavy duty binders. We especially like the D ring binders as they hold more pages and they are easy to open. Recently when Staples had their special sale on binders they offered new ones at a great price - one for each old binder turned in. We had several old ones really unusable but they were taken in exchange for four brand new ones. We like the ones that have a clear view pocket on the front of the binder as I put a special sheet there about the country that was visited. The spine of the binder also has a clear pocket where the name of the country can be placed - easily seen when the binders are on the shelf.
Bought these for use as trial notebooks. The two folder flaps in the front and back are great for keeping misc documents in. Heavy duty closures keep documents securely in place even when they are filled to capacity. Once you get a lot of papers in there it is sometimes a little less easy to turn pages since the rings are D shaped instead of O shaped but I didn't really find this to be a big deal. Very happy with this product. Plus they were running a special where you got $2 credit for recycling an old binder. So killed two birds with one stone getting rid of old dilapidated binders and replacing them with nice new binders.
