It's the size of a notebook without the awkward tilt/slant of a binder but removing pages doesn't leave paper scraps everywhere and you can put the papers back afterwards

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.

The pages on this notebinder are not as hard to turn as I thought, but it is alittle harder than a regular binder.

It works like a notebook, with loose leaf pages that may be used for taking notes

The pages don't slide around the rings as well as I'd

I am kinda upset that it makes those pages tear as 2/3 of the holes rip after getting stuck with the rings.

Plus, the rubbery texture causes the papers to grip the rings, making it difficult to turn to a certain place in the binder without ripping a few pages out in the process

so I was looking for a binder that I could my manuscript drafts in as well as put pages of notes in

I actually prefer a regular notebook for just plain loose-leaf; the pages are easier to turn

The independent rings will make including/taking out pages a little bit annoying but this is the best that you can get

The frequent page-tearing and the difficulty of page turning due to the flexible rings makes this notebook impractical for its main purpose -- a flat-lying, space-saving, durable binder/notebook

It has pockets which are helpful for storing loose pages

I love spiral binders but hate how it makes a mess anytime you need to rip a page

The other 3 dividers offer full page protective pockets that are easy to open and slide paper inside, then a small flap holds it together

My pages started ripping just from how difficult it is to flip to a different section

It won't open the rings, but it does mean turning pages isn't quite as smooth as with a standard three-ring binder
