The rubber edges on the binder is a smart design since its the part of a binder that usually splits. The cover is also a stronger plastic than most.

I bought my 14 year old son several of these binders last year and they lasted the entire school year. He would've still used those binders this year if the front sleeve hadn't torn from use over an 9 month period. So, I'm using these now (I just cut the torn sleeve off) and bought him a new one, becuase they get graded on the neatness of their notebook this year.

This binder had an awesome d-ring set up, it was simple to open and closed nicely. My only fault with the product was the actual side panels were sort of weak. I tucked it between my other orginizational items and it bowed inward. I was hoping for a more sturdy weathering as the clasp mechanism was fantastic! overall, I am not disappointed too bad.

The quality of this binder series is really good. I use Binders everday and have to remove and add information constantly and I can tell you this is by far the easiest binder I have found to open and close the d-rings. The D-Ring is also another plus on this binder. The one and only downfall to this binder is that I have not found or seen any premade "Spine" labels or any other media that will work easily on this binder. There is nothing I have found made by AVERY that works well here and can be easily removed. You kind of on your own for "Spine" labels.

So So
By MattVerified Reviewer from Columbia, MO on 1/28/2008
Pros:
Color Variety, Easy To Open/Close
Cons:
Flimsy Construction, Uneven Closure
Best Uses:
Document Protection, Long Term Storage
Describe Yourself:
Quality Oriented
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

In the end, the only problem with the binder is enough of a reason for me to get rid of them. I have two 1.5" and one 2" version of this binder. The ring systems in all three are cheaply made. The opening lever is fine, but the rings are flimsy and do not close tightly. Everyone who uses three ring binders regularly knows that the rings start to separate after heavy use. These rings are separating after only 2 weeks of use. Also, two of the binders have "hang-nails" on the rings, catching on papers.

I also question how well the rubber hinge will hold up over time. Though I can't complain as of yet.

Hands down the best binder... EVER.
By high school studentVerified Purchaser from Illinois on 9/28/2007

Long Term Storage, Organizing Documents
Describe Yourself:

Primary use:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I am in high school and usually my binders fall apart after a month. This binder is GREAT! It has rubber protection on the edges and is made out of hard, durable plastic. This takes away from the cheap plastic/cardboard combination that is easily torn and destroyed. For students like myself who may be slightly unorganized, binders can very often be tossed around, bent, etc. With this binder, I don't have to worry about that. I know that my binder is always going to come out looking great in the end! I have spent the past 3 years trying to find binders with this quality and now I have finally found them. I wouldn't recommend any other binder. This is definitely the best binder out there.

Once open, the left side is loose and floppy. I cannot hold it open and write on pages on the left side. When at a customer's facility, we are often walking through several areas and making notes on the move is impossible. The left side is unstable holding it open in my left arm while trying to write with my right hand.
