Five Star Flex Hybrid NoteBinder, 1 Inch Binder, Notebook and Binder All-in-One, Black (72009)
Color:04 Black
LASTS ALL YEAR. GUARANTEED!* RINGS WON’T BREAK GUARANTEED!* The Five Star Flex patented TechLock rings will not break or misalign. It acts like a notebook and works like a binder. Fold the cover over and it lays flat for easy notetak...
The clear pocket also has a flap to secure the contents
If you are only using this binder for the enclosed pocket dividers it works fine.
It also has nice 5 plastic pocket dividers 2 of those are the thicker notepocket kind that have a pocket in front and 3 are the traditional note protector kind that you can slip a page in them
I also love the sturdy plastic subject dividers, and the handy little pockets built into the divider.
The first two dividers have nice pockets and even a corner piece that will allow your papers to lie flat while in the pocket
I also love the clear "NoteProtector" dividers that I can put my current reading plan into, and the binder even allows you to put one on the outside of the cover for even quicker access to information
I also love the sturdy plastic subject dividers, and the handy little pockets built into the divider.
I wish they had moved the connection point more toward the middle like a regular binder (round one) or toward the top (D-ring).
So you get the binder, dividers (which are really nice) with pockets, notebook paper and graph paper...not bad for about $12!
It lets you give some organization to your files, and I love the plastic dividers with pockets so I can put loose papers in them.
love these things, durable, reusable, takes up less space.it might be a pain to have to undo each ring on its own, but I find I dont have to much, there are other ways to store handouts.
I have always needed a product like this to keep my things nice and tidy
I love this thing, I've seriously been using it for years
One semester of 7th grade complete, and I seriously love this thing!
The folders to hold papers is really nice and makes it nice to keep things together safe and organized.
I have found the PERFECT notebook for keeping my kid's school work organized
Its floppy design together with the semi-soft individual rings (you have to open them one by one if you need a page but don't want to rip it), make this notebook/binder a bit cumbersome to use in time sensitive situations.
Going back to small diameter rigid-ringed notebook with flexible plastic cover and all three rings opening at once.
This hybrid notebook is useful in keeping things organized
It's great that you can flip it around like a notebook as well
Interesting design, looks like it'll last me quite some time
I wish they had moved the connection point more toward the middle like a regular binder (round one) or toward the top (D-ring).
The nylon spine is a good design feature that helps the Flex stay together
It's the same function has the plastic rings, but the huge difference is that the metal binder rings have NO GAPS.Hopefully the Five Star team will hear out the customers and improve the design of it because it'd kill the whole binder market competition if only it wasn't for the stupid plastic rings.
There's a flexible plastic flap on the top of each divider so you can secure the top of any papers you put in the divider's pocket, which is a downright ingenious design choice that we've needed for a long time.(2
You've got the flexibility and simplicity of a three-ring binder: Paper choices, ease of using a standard hole punch to put anything in it, simple archiving into standard three-ring binders, and lots of accessories if you're that type
Exterior build quality is nice and the flexibility of the notebook/binder
There are some benefits to using these, as their flexibility is good
I love the flexibility this provides like the regular three ring binders
The Flex uses a thin, plastic cover and backing to give it more…well, flexibility than other binders/notebooks
Going back to small diameter rigid-ringed notebook with flexible plastic cover and all three rings opening at once.
You must be careful when using them not to overload them, because the 'rings' are a soft plastic with a pointed connector
We bought it and waited for it to arrive, in the moment it arrived my daughter was already disappointed, the cover is cheap plastic and the binder itself is way too flexible so it doesn't gives much security for her

The rings on the binder are a flexible plastic that are not brittle and can be easily manipulated into anything that I wanted to put in the binder
(Like a notebook), yet the cover is still durable and stiff enough to act as a binder
The covers are quite resilient and will survive all kinds of abuse.
My only complaint is that Amazon sent it in a box with other loose items- pages were bent and cover was scratched
You can fold the cover back like a notebook, and when closed it lays flat like a notebook.
The reason this binder works so well is that the cover flips completely around (like a portfolio) and lies flat so he can take his notes RIGHT IN THE NOTEBOOK on EITHER SIDE without removing the paper
I actually prefer a regular notebook for just plain loose-leaf; the pages are easier to turn
I am kinda upset that it makes those pages tear as 2/3 of the holes rip after getting stuck with the rings.
Loading paper into the NoteBinder is a little cumbersome and not nearly as easy as a metal 3-ring binder, and the pages do tend to snag on the rings when the paper is flipped.
It won't open the rings, but it does mean turning pages isn't quite as smooth as with a standard three-ring binder
so I was looking for a binder that I could my manuscript drafts in as well as put pages of notes in
The rings are a bit slow to open in contrast to metal rings
I only have a few minor complaints: The lower ring tends to get bent out of shape a bit when using it on your lap (I would assume this is only a right-handed problem), large amount of paper can be a bit harder to do than in a traditional binder, but if you hold down the bottom part of the binder while turning it generally isn't too bad
The rings are also a bit odd to separate which makes me worry the plastic will break sooner than later
It was a bit more expensive than other types of binders, but my teen swears by them.
I do like them quite a bit but make sure it fits your needs.
(i'm not very patient) and each time I do, one wrong move and all my papers will come loose
One unfortunate time, two of the rings actually opened up and the papers fell out
so we had ot buy a normal binder paper with 4 holes and do the holes by ourselves because the papers are cheap but the sipping is 5/6 times the price of the sheets so it's not affordable
I would recommend this product to all students, but especially to those that have a hard time staying organized.
Interesting design, looks like it'll last me quite some time
You are reading snippets from reviews of Five Star Flex Hybrid NoteBinder, 1 Inch Binder, Notebook and Binder All-in-One, Black (72009)
No need to worry about binder rings breaking or not being able to squish my "reading material" into the seat pocket in front of me at the last minute, since the binder rings themselves are flexible, and they stay closed, even under duress
It won't open the rings, but it does mean turning pages isn't quite as smooth as with a standard three-ring binder
My last one did not have the textured finish on the front and one of the rings broke after about 2 years of use
The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is every year at least 1 ring breaks
Contact ACCO Brands consumer affairs at mead.com for a replacement if the rings break
You've got the flexibility and simplicity of a three-ring binder: Paper choices, ease of using a standard hole punch to put anything in it, simple archiving into standard three-ring binders, and lots of accessories if you're that type
The rings always have a small, 1 millimetre gap between them which causes the holes on papers to get ripped open
i print my chemistry slides into 6 slides/page, hole-punch them and take notes on the slides and on the lined paper. awesome!
I love the way this is set up, however, after one week the three hole punched folder pages ripped out
(I let go of my last one because one hole in one of tabs ripped and one ring is looser than the others)I saw a review talking about how hard it is to flip through pages with more than 3 pages and my note to
