Just what I needed to keep papers organized and easily accessible in my backpack.

It is good quality cardboard/ paper

nice paper weight.

It's awkward to handle - much more so than with a normal file folder because you have to hold it open and you cannot lay it open flat like a book and have the file protect your papers from the table and any schmutz that might be on it.

They're fine when left in a file drawer, but when transferring those folders to a briefcase or messenger bag, the contents can be spilled, spewing papers and documents all over the place when one is in a rush
