Review: Great binder, and ACCO stands behind its guarantee! Highly recommend this product! - UPDATE 3/2/2016: Roughly halfway through the school year, the binder was falling apart -- broken handle, binding by the zipper coming undone. I remembered that the binder came with a guarantee to last a full school year, so I contacted ACCO via email expecting them to tell me my child had misused the binder and the warranty was void. But no! I sent them a photo and an email with date of purchase here on desertcart, along with our snailmail address, and they shipped me a new one that arrived ~10 days after my initial contact. Very impressed with the company, and would absolutely buy this product again with confidence that they stand behind their products! (Original review): We're 2 months into the school year, and it's holding up way better than I expected to daily use. My kid likes it a lot. It holds EVERYTHING for school -- it's kind of amazing how much she crams into the binder, and she no longer uses a backpack! One of her classmates was over a few days ago, and her (cheaper & different brand) binder was already looking frayed on the seams and handle. That made me happy I'd splurged for this one, which was recommended by a friend. Very happy with this purchase. I'll try to remember to update this review at the end of the school year, too.
Review: A well thought-out product with many great features. - Some people have had bad experiences with Mead Five Star products. I have not and have had various products by Mead Five Star since the late 90's. That being said, this is the best binder I've had in that time. I am a college student and my main need was lots of space for papers, notes, and definite durability. This binder has everything I need in a binder. The 2 inches of space for papers, folders, even notebooks is something that can be difficult to find in other "higher quality" binders. It also has a good built in folder system which is accessible both from the inside of the binder, and out. There is a wonderful pocket that is the perfect size for a graphing calculator such as the TI-83 or 84 (a must in college), and the built-in pencil pouch is a must-have. That being said, if stuffed full, it gets quite heavy, and can be difficult to fit into even the roomiest of backpacks, especially with textbooks and laptops alongside it, but I suppose that is why Mead Five-Star put the handle there for so it is not an issue for me. However, I can see where, in a careless moment, a person could easily ruin the zippers on this binder, especially if it is jam-packed with materials. This is something to be considered, especially for younger folks who are less cautious about their possessions or those who intend to be so busy they cannot take the time to close it without pulling. I did have some trouble with the zipper for the pencil pouch, but I was able to get it working correctly very easily. I can't really say much for those who complain about the handle breaking other than to contact MEAD's customer support or something. Mine is jam packed with school stuff and does just fine. In short, if you need the durability, the extra space and ability to carry it outside of your backpack with ease, this is the binder for you. If you tend to overfill pencil pouches to the point they're nearly bursting, buy an extra pencil pouch along with it, and you can't go wrong.
