The easy open, one touch rings are the reason I bought this binder and I still love that feature.

I love the "One Touch" feature of these as they are so much easier to open.

The plastic insert on the outside and two pocket inert inside are handy features for making the binder nicely put together in a professional manner

Though it is nice to have an easy-open feature, I'm not certain that alone justifies the higher price for this versus a standard binder.

The 'One Touch' tab opener is a decent feature but this has nothing to do with strength or durability.

I like the One Touch EZD Ring feature

They have clear covers on front and back, as well as on the binder edge

As the item photos show, with EZ-D rings the slanted portion has a gentle curve in it rather than being straight, and there is a less abrupt transition from the slanted right-hand portion to the semi-cicular left-hand portion of the rings, making page-turning almost as easy as with regular round rings while still allowing the binder to hold more pages than round ring binders of the same size
