Detachable Zipper Binder with Shoulder Strap, 3 O-Ring Binder for Office & School Supplies, Upgraded Version (Purple)

Love that this is easy to clean, doesn’t have cardboard inside so you can wash it and holds up! Bought one for my daughter that lasted all year so now bought the exact one for my son also

I got this as a way to organize and archive my 10 yo's homeschool work. I used some dividers to demarcate the subjects we cover and it's been a huge help to have all of his subjects separated but in the same place. He also loves that he can have his pens and a pair of scissors and a glue stick all handy in the case. There's even room for the mini journals that we use for certain subjects/projects.We drive quite a bit and it's great that the whole binder zips up nice and tidy so we can take his school work on the road and not worry about loosing loose papers or materials. It is a little huge for his lap but he makes it work.I expect my son to enjoy years of use of this sturdy, well-made product. 5 stars!

Likes: The outside size - 14" x 13" with 2" O-Rings. There are handles, as well as the strap. The packaging on the binder itself.Dislikes: The red zip pulls detract from the lilac color - black, white, lilac, or cream would have been a better choice. The clips on the strap were close to impossible for me to open and attach. Because of the way the strap was looped into the binder (photo #8), I thought I would have to cut the strap apart and not be able to use it. The box was bigger than necessary, so they had to add a lot of paper to pad the space.Once I got through all the paper (photo #1, the binder was encased in a sturdy plastic (photos #2 and #3) that I can reuse over and over. Then, I discovered it was encased in a lilac wrap that matched the binder (photo #4) - I will reuse it, also. The handles match the binder color perfectly (Photo #5) and there is a zip pocket on the front (photo #6).I took a close-up (photo #7) of the strap clips as they came clipped together and how the strap came together in the middle (photo #8), which made it impossible to open all the way. That's why I thought I would have to cut the strap off.Photo #9 shows there are pockets on both sides of the open binder. On the left, there is hook-and-loop strap closure that opens to have a two compartment file holder (photo #10), and the pocket is smaller on this side of the binder (photo #11). In addition, I had purchased lilac dividers, and I was so happy to see how well they went together. I had also bought shades of purple cardstock and have many thoughts running through my head on how to use the paper with the binder and dividers (photo #12).I had not realized how large the binder would be. Once I saw it, I thought I would be able to do 12"x12" scrapbooking with it. However, the interior is 13" x 11", so it won't work for that.

As someone who works with kids in middle school, I often see my students (mostly the new 6th graders) trying to carry random papers, small notebooks, and folders all stacked on top of each other in the hallway. They are constantly dropping papers and pencils, just to get to class and realize that they left what they really needed for this class in the locker.I really do love how many different areas there are to store things - and the built in zippered pouch for pencils is good.I was looking for one that zipped all the way around to keep everything in - and one of my students actually requested a handle, which is why I went with this one.I think the price is a bit high - but these seem to be harder to find than they were when I was younger and I honestly haven't seen many with a much lower price point. It is sturdy and feels well made. Can't afford to get one for every kid I work with, but if you have one who is struggling with organization, I think this is worth it!

The binder does not fully close anymore after only one week of using. The half-open binder now rips into the pencil compartment, destroying the separation.

I make beaded tapestry's with Delica beads and I have to set up my next project before I'm done with the one I'm working on so this is great for keeping everything together. I use other plastic folders to put the pattern and the directions and color charts in and then I fit them into this nice 3 ring binder. This has zippered pockets on either side to store either pencils or whatever in, mine has beads of course. This also has slots at the top so you can put in a tablet or just other files and it secures with a Velcro strap across it so nothing can easily fall out. the zippers are heavy duty so they should last for awhile even with opening and closing a lot. this does have a long strap to carry over your shoulder but I'm not to fond of the plastic connecters but I can put something to fix it later but I'm not worried about it, they will still hold up. this is not a cheap case and I'm going to have fun with it. I already have 5 projects waiting and there's still room in it.

If you are a collector of postcards, stamps, sports cards, trading cards, currency or coins, just to name a few, this binder makes the perfect choice when you are out making a purchase. The three ring binder can hold multiple pages of blank card/stamp/coin holder pages to protect your new purchases, space for your "want lists" or inventory lists, reference books, loop for examining fine details. All this comes in a comfortable carrying case. You can use the handles and carry like a brief case, or the shoulder straps and keep your hands free.If you are a student or a business person, you can adapt this binder to fit your scholastic or business needs, it has great versatility.

As a regular user of binders, I found this binder to be useful. The color looked pleasant and it served multiple purposes beyond the regular binder typically sitting on the shelf. It came with the shoulder strap so you can easily taking it on the go. The price point was about right compared to other hard cover binders from big office store. Depending on your usage purpose, you might not need more than 1 or 2 of these in the office.
