Leitz 11080094 multifunction folder (A4, round back (8, 2 cm wide) elastic band closure, plastic, Active Style) satin black

Needed a portfolio for a job interview and settled on this model.Pros:-Looks very professional, and it was noticed by the interviewer when compared to everyone else's cardboard ones-Very strong construction, and well made.-Very smooth internal mechanism-Big capacity. I stuffed it full to the max of what the rings could bear and it handled it all easily.Cons:-It's big. So big that when full of documents you actually won't be able to put it into most messenger bags or briefcases. If you plan to show up with a snazzy little briefcase and this folder, know that you will not be able to fit it in.-Despite its sturdiness the front face will bend slightly at the outside end where the paper's edge is. This happens because the outside end is pulled down by the elastic band over that paper edge. It doesn't ruin the presentation and it's subtle, but you will notice a slight creasing.-While this is an attractive folder, it did not get me the job.

Purchased for daughter who is about to start 6th Form. Seems much better quality than her previous ringbinders used in her final year at High School which all 'died' within months of use. Am hopeful that this will stand up to the rigours of 6th Form, being taken in and out of a backpack and transported to and from school on the train - it certainly looks like it will but I guess only time will tell. Purchased the green version which wouldn't have been my first choice (the red looks way nicer), but the green was significantly cheaper at the time of purchase. The colour is actually quite attractive although I suspect the red is even better! At the moment, daughter is making do with one folder for Sociology and Psychology A Levels - the folder has a good capacity so am hoping it will get her through Year 1 of her course at least.

This is quite a bulky folder and bigger than your average carton based leaver folder. But this is exactly what makes it perfect for the heavy paper weight. Nothing bends or breaks and on top of it they look good. I prefer to spend a bit more for the folders that look visually appealing and don't need replacing every few months because of bending. I fill these up completely with documents in my home-based office.

Very sturdy but perhaps a bit too heavy, was looking for something a bit easier to carry so chose round edge but it’s too bulky

As expected by a German manufacturer, great quality item, the build and design quality certainly feels premium

Bought for my level 3 human resource practice coursework. Can't recommend it enough. Well made, Super functional and looks really smart.

high quality, but made in china

Sturdy folder, but came with a lot of issues.1) There was a long scratch and an area of scratches on the back slab of the folder2) Product arrived 3 days later than promised3) The back cover was longer than the front one which meant it doesn't close up symmetricallyWould not recommend buying this folder.
