Five Star Zipper Binder, 2 Inch 3-Ring Binder with Round Rings, 5-Tab Expanding File, 380 Sheet Capacity, Cobalt Blue (72534)

This binder states that it is guaranteed to last the school year and having used 4 of these with my now teenage son, I can attest that it does. This is a highly durable, well-made binder and I won't buy any other. My teenage son uses this as a briefcase of sorts because all his work for all subjects is kept in here. He uses the carry handle and takes it from class to class. The left side has an accordion file of about 5 pockets (see picture below), and on the 3 rings he places his 3 hole poly folders and pencil case. He uses every inch of this binder. The first part to consistently wear out in each of these binders is the inner mesh see-through pocket because it is constantly rubbing against the middle metal ring (see picture below). But even that is not too much of a problem because it happens very slowly over time, and the slight hole it wears through is not large enough to lose anything from the mesh pocket. On his most recent binder, the material where the zipper attached to the binder started to pull away by the end of the year, but that is ONLY because he packed this binder so full it strained the zipper. The zippers on all 4 that he has used heavily have NEVER broken or snagged, the handles never broke, and the outside never ripped or wore away...but boy did it get dirty :).

The solution for 7 binders!!! Our son has 7 classes and they have to pull all of their binders out before walking through the metal detectors at school. This was an easy solution that now allows him to be organized and only pull out 1 binder! It has multiple pockets, folders and storage. He can hold all of his classes in this one binder with dividers. Its well made and durable! It also reduces the weight of their backpacks especially since they do not use lockers anymore!

The size is good for work/homework binders. It is easy to use. It is a nice thing to pick a color from the variety offered. The thickness and durability make it worth it. I use it as a special needs work binder with laminated worksheets like word of the day, today's date, skip counting, line tracing, etc.

I like the pockets in this and the size, plus the carrying handle. I just wish it lasted a while school year. I've repurchased several times because it's a better price than other brands that don't last any longer. I would pay more if the rings didn't become misaligned and the outer fabric didn't tear.

Great for my sons things and his computer very big and nice

So far so good. My daughter crams anything and everything for school in it, and it has held up so far. The size is good for what she needed for. It has a lot of storage. It was a great value for what we paid. The color options could have been a little wider but overall it’s great.

Durable and waterproof.

Didn’t even make it 3 months before the zipper broke. This binder is too big to fit in a backpack so my son had to carry it everywhere. After 3 months, the zipper broke
