Reviews around pocket (5.00 of 5)

  • 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
  • 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
  • The clear pocket also has a flap to secure the contents

Reviews around divider (5.00 of 5)

  • So you get the binder, dividers (which are really nice) with pockets, notebook paper and graph paper...not bad for about $12!
  • 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 wish they had moved the connection point more toward the middle like a regular binder (round one) or toward the top (D-ring).
  • I also love the sturdy plastic subject dividers, and the handy little pockets built into the divider.
  • 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.

Reviews around thing (4.69 of 5)

  • 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
  • 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.
  • The folders to hold papers is really nice and makes it nice to keep things together safe and organized.
  • I'll never buy a normal binder again, this thing kicks it's trash any day

Reviews around idea (4.57 of 5)

  • So I love the idea of this thing, but it doesn't work that well
  • Good idea for a flexible binder but the rings should be replaced with the more reliable metal rings.
  • I love the idea of being able to use it like a notebook by folding the cover back
  • This seemed like a good idea, but the plastic rings are a pain to use
  • It's a great idea but the rings bend out of shaped and that interferes with the paper traveling smoothly.

Reviews around quality (4.53 of 5)

  • The quality is exceptional; notebinders have exceeded my expectations
  • I'm impressed with the sturdy quality of their products.
  • The quality is great as well - the rings feel very sturdy and secure.
  • It does lie flat, the plastic dividers are good quality and make it nice to separate your classes
  • While it has more good qualities than bad, I find that the bad qualities overwhelm the good and make it significantly less useful

Reviews around notebook (4.52 of 5)

  • Going back to small diameter rigid-ringed notebook with flexible plastic cover and all three rings opening at once.
  • 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.
  • I hate the spiral bound notebooks because it is loud when you tear a page out but these are perfect.
  • This hybrid notebook is useful in keeping things organized

Reviews around design (4.49 of 5)

  • 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.
  • The nylon spine is a good design feature that helps the Flex stay together
  • 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

Reviews around flexibility (3.86 of 5)

  • but you have less flexibility (buy a $40 punch, and lose out on all the three-ring accessories out there).So
  • 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
  • Exterior build quality is nice and the flexibility of the notebook/binder
  • 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

Reviews around folder (3.64 of 5)

  • Be nice to have all 5 the durable typeI got used to the whole having to unhinge each ring thing fairly quickly, and since you can put hand-outs right in with your notes, the flimsy folders aren't the hugest deal
  • 2 days later at school the ring and the folders broke and ripped
  • The pocket folders in the front look like they could hold a semester's worth of work, while the back "folders" function more like paper protectors
  • I liked the extra notecard folders, and the small pile of graph paper behind all the notebook paper made me happier than I should have been
  • The folders to hold papers is really nice and makes it nice to keep things together safe and organized.

Reviews around plastic (3.44 of 5)

  • Without the traditional metal or rigid plastic rings, inserting and removing paper is more annoying because rings on the NoteBinder are longer and flexible.3
  • You must be careful when using them not to overload them, because the 'rings' are a soft plastic with a pointed connector
  • It is very helpful because it is lighter than a sturdy hard binder and more durable than a flimsy thin plastic binder.
  • 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
  • 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

Reviews around cover (2.98 of 5)

  • It's nice to be able to flip the cover all the way around like a spiral notebook, especially being left handed
  • I had been Searching for a binder but not your normal hard cover binder and stumbled upon this product and it was Just what I was looking for.
  • Hard cover books are rarely sold now and we have to use paper books that require a binder
  • Going back to small diameter rigid-ringed notebook with flexible plastic cover and all three rings opening at once.
  • You can fold the cover back like a notebook, and when closed it lays flat like a notebook.

Reviews around paper (2.33 of 5)

  • I would have preferred the Five Star paper over this thinner and cheaper kind
  • , make sure you don't give it to someone who might need to hurry and turn a page of loose leaf paper to catch some important notes.
  • Disappointingly enough, the binder came with regular loose leaf paper that was not the variety with plastic reinforced holes
  • Fourth, the layout allows you to put paper on top of the notebook as well as inside
  • I love how you can insert and take out paper like a binder, but it lays flat like a notebook

Reviews around page (1.88 of 5)

  • The pages on this notebinder are not as hard to turn as I thought, but it is alittle harder than a regular binder.
  • 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
  • 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 other 3 dividers offer full page protective pockets that are easy to open and slide paper inside, then a small flap holds it together
  • I actually prefer a regular notebook for just plain loose-leaf; the pages are easier to turn

Reviews around bite (1.69 of 5)

  • The rings are a bit slow to open in contrast to metal rings
  • The rings are also a bit odd to separate which makes me worry the plastic will break sooner than later
  • I do like them quite a bit but make sure it fits your needs.
  • Although guaranteed not to break, they are a hassle to pull apart, and because of the curves, a bit hard to load more paper into the binder
  • Over all we really like this idea just hope they can improve on it a bit more for the next one they make

Reviews around time (1.54 of 5)

  • Interesting design, looks like it'll last me quite some time
  • One unfortunate time, two of the rings actually opened up and the papers fell out
  • I would recommend this product to all students, but especially to those that have a hard time staying organized.
  • 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'm not very patient) and each time I do, one wrong move and all my papers will come loose

Reviews around ring break (1.44 of 5)

  • My last one did not have the textured finish on the front and one of the rings broke after about 2 years of use
  • It won't open the rings, but it does mean turning pages isn't quite as smooth as with a standard three-ring binder
  • 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
  • I love the plastic rings , every binder I ever had , the metal rings broke

Reviews around hole (1.44 of 5)

  • (In my case, my three-hold punch makes very small holes, so I had to punch them several times to get enough flexibility in the paper so it didn't pull the
  • 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!
