Avery 1.5" Ultralast 3 Ring Binder, One Touch Slant Ring, Holds 8.5" x 11" Paper, 1 White Binder (79714)

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!

We use the SOAR binder system to help our son organize his class materials (high school). With this system the student carries a single 3-ring binder with index tab dividers for each subject. To make this work you need a binder that is thick enough without being unwieldy (we've found 1.5" to be just right) and also sturdy enough to withstand a fair amount of careless handling. This binder has worked out really well all around. It is flexible and lightweight but shows no signs of distress after nearly 4 months of school. The rings open and close smoothly and tightly. I'm really impressed -- we have tried plenty of other "durable" binders over the years that have broken down pretty quickly. This one is still going strong.

This is the perfect binder for all of the recipes that I print from online sites. It’s sturdy and seems durable. The rings always stay tight when locked. The rings open and close easily. I like that the binder is wide enough to use my Avery Extra Wide Index pages so that they don’t extend beyond the binder. It’s easy to add a decorative cover on the front as well as on the spine. I chose the red color to match the accents in my kitchen. I haven’t had this binder very long, so I can’t speak for longevity, but right now it’s really the perfect binder for my recipes.

Excellent way to store your 3-ring paper notes!

This is a nice binder with plenty of space and a good design. I like how the inside has a flexible rubber that makes it easy to store large objects. It seems like it will be harder to get dirty than my old binders, which is a huge plus! It feels great to use and very high quality.

Hands down the best 3 ring binder on the market. I have 4 kids ranging from 10-16 yrs. old and every year I do the school supply shuffle and buy tons of notebooks for all their classes. Not anymore - I bought one of these literally on a fluke when my now 8th grader was in 4th grade and he still uses it. STILL! Four years later. He actually just asked me for more because he feels like he should have one for each subject since he's been using the same one for 5 subjects. Don't even think about buying any other 3 ring binder - you will love these. The inside folders don't tear after half a year and the 3 ring clasps don't break. This thing is a winner - take from a mom with 3 rough boys who hates buying school supplies before the year is up.

Talk about durability! My college bound kid had one one these binders all through high school and loved it. It was starting to Rip in the corners and was showing its 3 yr life time of high school abuse. Just bought her 2 more for college. These are very sturdy binders and flexible at the same time in the backpack.

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.
