Itoya SpringPost Binder (3" Depth)

The media could not be loaded.  Can flip through the thin pages with ease! So glad I bought it

This binder turned my loose leaf book into a bound book. I didn't have to worry about ripping pages or keeping pages in order. This binder was a game changer in my studies.

The media could not be loaded.  I was skeptical about this after reading some of the reviews but it was perfect for what I needed. I had a 317 page publication that I needed a binding for. The 2” worked well with a little room to spare. It comes with 5 colorful tab dividers. The binding opens very easily and is a great design. After looking at what it costs to get something professionally put in a binding or even pressboard report covers, this was the way to go!

These are great. They are well made, with three aluminum posts. The advantage they have over a ring binder, for my purposes, is that they are shallower. They will fit easily on a shelf 10 or 11 inches deep, whereas a ring binder needs more than 11 inches, closer to 12. The disadvantage of post binders (including these) is that you cannot add or remove a page in the middle of the binder without taking out (and later putting back in) all of the pages in front of the old page (or the point of insertion of a new page). These binders have a clear plastic layer over the black plastic of the binding, so you can insert a label on the binding. Unlike many 3-ring binders, these do not have such a clear layer on the cover, so you cannot insert a page for the cover. In that respect, they are designed moreto sit on a shelf, with the binding facing outward, than to lie on a table (as a handout, say, for a presentation).

Wish my university would buy these. They work great for those really expensive loose leaf crap school books they sell. You know the ones you pay $135 or more for that are made from the thinnest paper possible., that have the binder punch in them, that if you put them in a regular binder the pages rip out in a second… well not with these babies! Buy the binder! Not just for business, schools too.

This binder is exactly what you'll need to secure a loose leaf college text book or any large loose material that can be placed in a three ring binder. The more common three ring binders will hold the pages in a manner which will eventually cause the pages to tear, which may potentially cause a loss of the investment. The cover material is extremely durable and not much larger than the pages themselves, so the form factor is quite convenient.

I use this for my loose leaf textbooks and it holds it so well! I am bummed though because I needed the 1" but was only able to purchase 2" from Amazon. I did buy the 1.5" off the walmart website and its kind of too big but I'll gladly keep it for my next textbooks for class!

It was exactly what I needed. It is a loose leaf binder that binds letter size paper when filled that looks more like a book binding than a 3 hole loose leaf binder. That's the look I wanted for my papers when the binder is filled. It will hold several hundred pages. I didn't count how many. Very pleased with it. Feels sturdy enough to last a long time with normal use.
