She hasn't even had it two weeks, and already the transparent outer cover has ripped around the edges.

Cover might be strong, but rings bust open way too easily

“Strongest” binder cover doesn’t really hold up.

It seems sturdy - I was unable to tear the cover off like the photo on the cover of the notebook.

The pockets inside each cover are handy, and many school children like to decorate their notebooks, so being able to slip sheets and sticker materials beneath the clear-plastic covers (front and back an spine) is a nice feature

The cover seems very sturdy and not prone to tear like some binders I've used in the past (I'll update this review if it tears)2

However, I wanted a strong, durable cover

If you want to put a label under the clear cover on the spine, I would suggest a long, sturdy piece of paper, something like a strip from a manilla folder.
