Five Star Zipper Binder, 2 Inch 3-Ring Binder for School, 6 Pocket Expanding File, 880 Sheet Capacity, Red (72538)

The media could not be loaded. Our 6 grader is having some hard time getting used to the local school system: we moved here from EU and teaching style, homework are completely different over there...After having watched some tutorials online, we decided to purchase a good organizer binder and help him with the work organization. Since the different full size organizers look very similar to each other, we decided to purchase the most popular four and compare them before taking our decision. This fromm Five Star was our winner, no doubts.We compared this Five Star one with an "Amazon Basics 3 Ring Binder with Zipper", a "Case-it The Mighty Zip Tab Zipper Binder 3 Inch O-Rings 5 Pocket" and a "Case-it Universal 2 Inch 3 Ring Zipper Binder". Please watch the video attached for better understanding.Besides the fact Five Star is definitely better made, more sturdy, better made handle and in general more attention to details, it has also more internal pockets and useful storage space.Amazon basic was immediately canceled from the selection as a matter of fact rings are way too big, huge I would say, and materials are quite poor. No space for chromebook, nor for calculator and pens.The 2 Case-it - even if nice - are also not the best in terms of quality: the 3 inches one (bigger of the two) is nice but does not have space for chromebook and calculator. The 2 inches one (smaller of the two) has a pocket for chromebook but not for pens and calculators. Furthermore it is not big enough for the use we wanna do.This one from Five Star is big enough, well made, has space dedicated for calculator, for pens and the front pocket - even if not specifically made for chromebook - it can be used without problems for that purpose.We cannot say how long this is going to last but - so far - we are happy with the decision taken.According to tutorials online, the organizer must hold 4 pocket folders (2 x math, language, science) and 2 for homework (to be done, to be turned in) plus a notebook, a ring pen pouch, calculator, extra pens, chromebook).

It’s a great binder, with zipper and files, makes organizing easier, but… rings don’t last more than a year, they don’t connect they way they should hence you can’t flip. Pages fall off broken ring. We don’t even use it every day.I had one for myself and one for my son. Encountered same problem.

I ordered this for my son who is in fifth grade this year. It was required on his school supplies list. The trapper keeper is compact yet large enough to hold the three folders and three notebooks he needs for his fifth grade classes. The quality is amazing. The materials are durable and are also easy to clean. The design is attractive and the black color is uniform throughout the entire trapper keeper without any light/dark spots or blemishes. For the price I believe this is the best deal when compared to any other brands. I am extremely happy with this product and would absolutely recommend it.

Plenty of room but does not survive an entire school year for our 6th grader.

This binder really fits a ton of stuff in it and has been beaten up but is still working great. Also purchased the extra insert pouch for all the writing utensils and it’s perfect.

Bought for my teen to carry her school papers and laptop. It also has zippers for pens and pencils, etc. would definitely recommend!

It is durable and comfortable

I ordered this binder for my 5th grader for school as it was required. She said that it was okay but did not have enough space for what she needed as required to carry in it for school. Two weeks ago (started using it at the end of August) the zipper snapped and could not be fixed. Very disappointed that this binder was expensive and did not last two months.

I cannot speak to durability yet, I haven't had it long enough. But I like the design and features: pockets that can be accessed from in/outside which are suitable for holding 4 - 6 small paperback books/booklets or similarly sized items; a pocket for a phone or calculator or some pens and pencils, and room for a fair bit of paper in addition to the mentioned items.I do not care for the plastic zippers; while they may last forever with gentle use, I did discover that one of my zippers had one tooth jammed with another, causing a kink in the zipper which will be the failure point sometime down the road. And the handle should be placed on the opening side of the binder, not the hinge side, so that when the main zipper fails, everything doesn't fall out on the floor.My binder won't be seeing a lot of abuse as it's going to be used mostly at home on my desk; I got it more as a portable place to keep related printed materials and booklets, rather than because I wanted a binder. I expect it will serve the intended purpose for a long time.

Excelente, adorei. Infelizmente é muito grande para o que eu pretendo usar.
