This binder is amazing! It comes with a One year warranty according to Five Star, but it is made from very sturdy plastic that can take a few scratches, so, the warranty probably won't even be needed. 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. Disappointingly enough, the binder came with regular loose leaf paper that was not the variety with plastic reinforced holes. I would have preferred the Five Star paper over this thinner and cheaper kind.
This is a one of a kind binder because it can serve as either a binder or a notebook. The front cover of the binder can be folded back smoothly so the surface is smooth enough to write on. This effectively makes the need for both a notebook and a binder indisputably wrong. I'm giving this Five Star product five stars.

This binder is made of hard plastic, with a small piece of fabric wrapped around to hold the sides together. The rings are plastic, so they don't bend and break like the metal ones do. Inside, it comes with 3 pocket dividers, 3 page dividers, college ruled paper and graph paper. you can fold this binder in half to use it like a spiral, it works really well while taking notes in class. I have yet to find a binder to compare to this one!

I love these hybrid notebinders so much! I am a college student and I take my note-taking very seriously (lol). I've tried different ways of taking notes and I find this notebinder to be the best method for me so I can keep my class notes, my typed study guides and any material given by the professor all in one place. And I can keep reusing it for other semesters! So it's a great purchase, in my opinion!

I didn't love that the listing gives an impression of selecting the black color but is a random color choice. I should have paid More attention and read the description, So that's no biggie! I LOVE this binder notebook! Once it is More than about 1/2 filled, it doesn't allow paper to glide over the rings very well causing it to get stuck in various places (I'll attach a photo). That's not a deal breaker for me though, it just takes a few extra seconds of patience and it's very worth it to me! I'm also a big fan of the re-usable nature of this. It's a great size and great to avoid using binders upon binders when you have a lot of print outs.

I opted for the assorted option and didn't know whether I was going to get all six colors or just one random one and I ended up with a random one. (They gave me white) I didn't mind either way and it was a lot cheaper that way.
I've been using these NoteBinders since my Freshman year of HS and I'm now a second year college student. I find it's the best way to keep organized without having to carry so many folders, notebooks, and binders. You're able to put some paper after each folder/divider so I have a tab for each class, each folder containing papers I need for that class and what follows are the notes that I take for that class. Plus when taking notes I don't have to have it open like a binder and dread when I flip to the next side for notes since the rings don't get in the way. As a result I'm only carrying around one binder for the multiple classes I take and my notes look less like garbage.
I've gone through about 4 of these ever since I found them, so I'd say they last about 1-2 years and that's way worth the price for me. So yes at some point they are pushed to a limit. (I let go of my last one because one hole in one of tabs ripped and one ring is looser than the others)
I saw a review talking about how hard it is to flip through pages with more than 3 pages and my note to that is, this isn't made to be flipped through like a book. If you're looking for something that will hold a bind-less textbook or important documents within the rings don't buy this!
Other than that this is a great product, will last you for quite a while, and is well worth the price you pay.
