STAPLES Better Binder, 2-Inch, Blue

Great value for what you're getting! I am pleasantly surprised. I wasn't expecting the covers to be flexible but I'm guessing that is probably better than being hard and not flexible. I really enjoy the rounded spine which i feel just seems better than the hard/flat spine binders. All in all I feel like this will last for years to come instead of just one or two because of the quality and durability. I purchased them to use with binder envelopes to hold all my household manuals (appliances, heating/ac unit manuals, etc) and these are the perfect size for what I needed (3 inch). I loved the variation of colors that they came in and got many different ones to be functional for all the uses I was organizing (one for household things, one for small appliances, taxes, etc) and now I know exactly the color binder I need for whatever I am looking for instead of digging through filing cabinets that are over crowded with lots of junk. If you're looking for a great functional binder to help you get organized, I would highly recommend these!

Alright, buckle up, folks, because I'm about to gush about a binder. Yes, you read that right—a **binder**. But not just any binder. This is the **Staples Better Binder**, and let me tell you, it's like the Cadillac of binders. I’m not even kidding, this thing could probably survive a zombie apocalypse and still hold your tax returns in perfect condition.First off, it’s a **5-inch ring** binder, which means it holds a *MASSIVE* 1000 sheets. One. Thousand. Sheets. That’s like the equivalent of stuffing a small library into your backpack. And it does it effortlessly, like, “Oh, you want to fit in one more chapter? Sure, no problem, fam. I got space for days.” I mean, I’m pretty sure this binder could store all my hopes, dreams, and regrets, and STILL have room for next year’s receipts.Now, let’s talk about the heavy-duty part. When they say “heavy-duty,” they aren’t messing around. This thing is BUILT. LIKE. A. TANK. I could probably run it over with my car (haven’t tried, but I’m considering it) and it would just be like, "Cool, you got any more documents for me?" It’s practically indestructible, which is good because I am *NOT* a gentle person. My life is basically a tornado, and this binder just sits there like, “Come at me, bro.”The rings open and close smoothly, which may not sound like a big deal, but have you ever tried to open a binder that snaps shut like a bear trap? Yeah, that’s not happening here. It’s like the binder knows I’ve had a rough day and is just trying to make my life a little easier. What a sweetheart.Oh, and the **view window**? Game changer. I can personalize it, which means I can slap a title on the front like “My Life, Organized... Kinda” and pretend like I have my act together. The window doesn’t crinkle or warp like those cheapo binders either. It’s smooth and classy, like the James Bond of office supplies.So, if you need a binder that can hold your entire existence (and then some), get this one. It’s a five-star performer. Staples really outdid themselves. In fact, I might buy another one just so my first binder has a friend. Trust me, your papers deserve this.**TL;DR: This binder is my new best friend, and it can hold 1000 sheets of pure awesomeness without breaking a sweat.**

What's not to love? Great colors to keep topics sorted, easy open and close mechanisms, nice texture makes it more comfortable to carry around, and yet it's still easy to clean. Highly durable and withstands drops without opening. Looks wonderful on my shelves.

I am a teacher and this works great at my job. It easily moves lessons and schedules without breaking like my last two binders. Also it holds a homework Chromebook that is small, and this keeps things in one place.

These are sturdier than most binders; the spine is reinforced, and so far, loading one with over 100 pages, no bending, no sagging. All good! PS: Rounded edges make handling easier, and no cuts. On the shelf now: 1.5-, 2-and 3-inch binders. And they look better than my rows of typical squared off front binders.

Chrome steel rings for the paper are somewhat large in diameter. Rings are nearly 3/16" in diameter, maybe 5/32", which is larger than any of my standard binders, which seem to be close to 1/8". As such, plastic page protectors will not work well, and bind when you are trying to turn pages, especially if you turn more than one page at a time. Otherwise, excellent construction and would probably work well with standard paper / paper holes.

Best binders!

Very nice love the easy open and close tab, it is flexible, and tough, this item also has two pockets on the inside. 🤗
