I was looking for a 1" one, this works great.

I see now that the written description is accurate, but the combination of the photo and the VERY high price make this misleading

Sturdy construction: lasts more than a year in the hands of a middle schooler and high schooler!

Smooth action of the rings and good alignment that never seems to warp or weaken.

Nice inner pocket

Only sometimes if there's something heavy in the inner pocket and the binder gets dropped from a height, the pocket can get torn through by the heavy object during rapid deacceleration upon landing.

Those side pockets are important during a fast paced school day
