AVERY 1.5" Ultralast 3 Ring Binder, One Touch Slant Ring, Holds 8.5" x 11" Paper, 1 Black Binder (79711)

Not handle with care looked use

As a performer, I use this as my audition binder. A headshot fits right in the front & the rings are strong & sturdy. Keeps my sheet music etc. safe & in place. There are also pockets inside for extra headshots and other loose things.

These binders are THE best! This is actually my second order! I bought two for my summer 1 classes because I hate buying new binders every semester or having to reuse ones that look worn. I'm in Summer 2 now and the binders look like they haven't been used at all. I was concerned that the binders wouldn't be large enough to hold all of my papers but they hold a TON of paper. The rings are so easy to use with the one touch. No struggling to open or close the rings and they stay tight, which prevents the paper getting caught between them. I'm taking online classes and one of these binders effortlessly holds everything for one class. It holds all of the printed PowerPoint slides from every lecture the entire semester, all of the discussion posts due, all of the printed materials/readings, etc. There's hundreds of papers in my binders. Printing one lecture's slides can be over 30 pages and I have them all printed in there. I know I will definitely never need to replace these binders because they are such good quality. I cram them into my bag and I can attest that they are durable to wear and tear. I will be buying a few more in the future when I'm taking more than 4 classes. The best feature is that I have each binder crammed with pages and when flipping through, the pages do not get caught in the rings! I originally bought a bunch of those stickers for fixing a torn hole punch on a piece of paper and I haven't even opened the package because I haven't needed it. These binders are also extremely light weight. I don't know what they're made out of but it is lighter than what a typical binder is made of. I originally didn't want to purchase these because they seemed very pricy compared to other options, but it is worth the price knowing I will never have to replace these binders!

Lasts the whole school year without damage. My boys are rough and throw their backpacks around daily.

I really did. I've been using Avery Durabinders for years and decided to give this one a try. It's a few little nit-pick things that just don't work for me. The biggest one is that the black rubber open/close lever touches and gets in the way of turning the pages smoothly - they get stuck on the lever when it's closed. I took the black rubber off the lever, and that helped a little but the lever still hits the papers. Second, I was expecting the front and back covers to be rigid - they're not. They flex a lot, and when standing on end on my shelf they sag and the binder doesn't stand up very well. Third, the front view window is a nice idea, but it's so "roomy" that the paper I printed for it doesn't stay in place and I'm constantly having to reposition it. The inside pockets are nice and roomy, the rings are solid and strong. I imagine it will last a long time, it's just those few little things that will have me going back to the Durabinders.

Durable enough to withstand a 5 year old and his obsession with Pokemon cards. Worth the money just to keep them out of the floor.

I will spend whatever I have to for something durable. When you get these, make sure when you're done with the rings being open that you ******click the lever back into place.****** I was so upset that the rings "didn't meet" AT FIRST! but they actually do if you just click the lever. I am so happy I don't have to yell at a inanimate object because my papers are pulling out of the spaces between crappy rings of a binder!!!!! AHHHHHHLOVE THESE SO MUCH!
