Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a child of the eighties, having grown up with Trapper-Keepers and the like. Mine were always disorganized after about the first week of school. I blame it partly on not having a system to go by to keep it neat, and partly on the binder itself. Those things just weren't designed that great.
Not this sucker. This thing ROCKS! First of all, it zips all the way around on the outside, so it keeps your papers and stuff dry, safe and it prevents them from scattering, even if a divider should break on you. It has an outer pocket on the front which is large enough for letter-sized papers and is pretty secure.
Inside, it's even better. It has a built-in solar calculator, places for business cards, a couple of highlighter/pen holders, and a big zippered pocket on the left-hand side, as well as another open, wide pocket (great for a novel or a big thesis report). The binder rings are large, secure (I despise binder rings that break or won't click together) and hold a heck of lot of papers. I use plastic dividers with pockets, so there's even less chance of papers falling out.
On the right-hand side is yet another full-size, unzippered pocket behind a letter-size paper pad holder. On a side note, I use Levenger-brand letter-size pads, which is the best paper I've ever found. The paper holder is also very sturdy and secure. The whole thing looks like it could go through a bombing and survive intact. I've had mine for three years, and it still looks brand-new. It wipes clean easily, if you do spill anything on it, inside or out. It is worth every penny.
No student should be without this, but it also works great as a recipe holder. All those recipes printed off of the internet can be three-hole-punched, divided into category, and put in this binder with no worries. It folds out completely flat and would hold up extremely well as a cookbook.
I also use one of these as a portable "office in a bag". In it I keep a pad of paper, post-it notes, a couple of pens, a couple of highlighters, a fun book to read, bills to pay, my address book, notecards, business envelopes, address labels and postage stamps. This is fabulous for those times when you want to get paperwork things done and have some spare time (such as when you're on a lunch break, waiting in the doctor's office or for your kid to finish up soccer practice).
Update: Just wanted to say I very recently bought a new binder like this for college (my old one was being used as the aforementioned cookbook), and the new one's as first-rate as the one I bought three years ago. This is a very reputable company that makes consistently well-made products. I'm really impressed. Oh, by the way, the binder comes with a letter-sized pad of Swiss Army-brand paper. A nice touch, and it's high-quality, too.
