Second binder purchased. First was from another company and substandard. This is a durable, high quality binder and helped my son to not stress while changing classes.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Here's my thoughts...

I love this binder so much! I've been using it's for 3 years now and I absolutely love it. (My) Pros: -I can store so many things inside the binder, and If I have no more space then I can always use the expandable pocket in the front! And it's even better now, now that they have a zipper on the pocket! -There's a little pouch inside and I can put my phone in it or my calculator or sometimes both. -There are 5 dividers and they give you little color coders for it. -There is an extra pocket inside the binder. -Handle and a Strap strap I can use. -There's a pouch zipper in the front and there's also a bigger one inside. (My) Cons: -The main zipper to open up the divider usually gives out on me at the end of the school year. -The 3 rings inside the binder sometimes get out of place, and it's kind of hard to open. -With extra pocket inside the binder, I'm not able to store many items inside because it's so tight, so I can only store like some loose leaf paper, and not another notebook or something. -It's only 2 inches. It would be better if it were bigger so that I can hold even more stuff. -It Fits inside my backpack -It's Water resistant!! (My fav) I will still be buying a brand new one for two more years of my High school because this binder helps me stay organized.
Pros: Calculator/Phone Holder, Dividers, Pockets
Cons: 2", Weak Zipper

I purchased 2 of these binders last year...one for my middle school son and one for my high school son. They LOVE these as they can keep a lot of their class supplies (calculator, pens, pencils, etc.) in them as well as papers for all of their classes and it really helps to keep them organized. They get used every single day. The one I purchased for my middle school son broke before the second semester (the 3 ring binder became uneven and would not hold papers/folders any more) and we had to go purchase a different one. The one I purchased for my high school son just had the zipper rip out and we are only in the 7th day of the school year. Because there is no other way to keep it shut, this will not work at all. I am VERY disappointed as these are not cheap and should have lasted longer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I always buy my 9 year old daughter a five star trapper to help her stay organized! However this year she picked out the one with a book holder on top! I've never struggled with a zipper so much on my life! We checked all the zippers at the store and the all caught/stopped the same. So beings school was days away we bought it anyway. I always buy mead/five star I feel they're the "best". I am sadly disappointed.

Great binder, shipped quickly. The only complaint is one of the elastics on the expandable panel has already broken in less than a month of use.
Pros: Perfect size for a middle schooler
Cons: Expandable panel elastics break

It started out great

This binder is pretty rad but I made the mistake of putting too much stuff in it. The area between the zipper and the binder ripped wide open. Internally it held up quite well expect for a small rip in the calculator pouch. I wish I got to use it longer.
Pros: Holds a lot of stuff
I would recommend this to a friend!

This has lots of pockets for storage and the outside extra expandable pouch is helpful to store a thin book inside. The material is not as heavy as another brand that I purchased for my son last year, thus making it lighter to carry. Big plus. I do wish it had a durable shoulder strap, because the only handle is at the top. He'd like to fling it over his shoulder to avoid "carrying" it. He's used it for 2 weeks now, we'll see how it holds up to a 13 yr. old.

I am buying this product again!!

My daughter struggles with organization and is very tough on her school supplies. When I saw the guarantee last year I said "yeah right". I was so amazed with this binder I went on a hunt for a new one to several Walmarts looking for another one this year only to find out they aren't carrying this one. So I went to the website and ordered one. The only concern I have about the new binder model option this year is the shoulder strap is now been removed and that was a big help for my daughter moving within the crowded hallways of her school since they weren't able to use their back packs. I would love to see the strap brought back in this model as an option and willing to pay a little extra. Thanks again for standing behind your product!!
Pros: Color Variety, Easy To Open/Close, Well Built / Quality
I would recommend this to a friend!
