As a college student, I Iove anything that is going to keep me organized, and keep everything for my registered classes in one place. This Hybrid Notebook Binder does exactly that. The design is better than the old one I had, which broke. (SEE PICTURES) I love my Mead Hybrid Notebook Binder. It comes with lined paper and graph paper, which I find myself using a lot of. It comes with plenty of semi transparent pockets to put notes, schedules, and labs in. It comes with tabs to label sections. The ring design is much better as well. It's bigger and allows me to turn pages of hand written notes and hand outs with ease, with how it's raised. The rings on my old one were smaller and it made it difficult to turn pages or add more paper. My paged started to rip out and my notes ended up messy. It was not ideal. The rings on the older one aslo required a little force to open and close. The rings on the new one are a more adeal design. This is powerhouse of an unlimited notebooks, pockets, tabs, and folders! I love it! If you're a college student who needs everything in one place, I'd high recommend this to you! You'll save time, and aggravation, which is only a qaurter of college student's problem.I really love this note book binder. I use it for nursing school. It has multiple dividers with pockets and you can add folders and files as you go.I used it for my advanced med surge class and I was able to organize my lecture notes, case studies, my own outlines and notes and memory jogger images and practice test questions. I organized each section with a different topic for example respiratory and then had sub categories for diseases like emphysema, copd and so on. And then notes, images, algorithms and so onI think this binder is great if you are big on reviewing and righting your own notes and drawing out concept maps and images. To retain information. I’m not big on typing and I love having a physical binder with information I can review for cumulative finals.I highly recommend this if you are a nursing student med student or law student this will help you organize all the material so that you can Read review and regurgitate. ;)very good product, durable.we use them for our project managers on the job site and they hold up well. and the different colors are nice as well.I bought this since I have a lot of loose leaf lined and 3 hole punched paper. I prefer notebooks over binders, but I don’t like the little metal rings pressing into things in my bag so this product fit my needs. I wish the cover was a little more sturdy and the binding was better quality (if you see the picture, you’ll see it came damaged), but this was made for students so I didn’t expect too much. Plus I think I might be able to fix it.The binder rings are durable and bendable which prevents then from breaking like other binders after much wear and tear. The binder came with college ruled paper and 7 great page organizers/dividers (3 are hard plastic/folder like with 1 big front pocket and one much smaller pocket only and 4 are soft plastic sheet protectors). The binder is very compact and light since you can determine how much paper you want to add to the binder.The only defects I noticed were cosmetic (plastic front cover had some non smooth/incorrectly formed plastic bubbles in the pattern pressed onto the plastic). Otherwise the binder has been durable so far in my use with no problems.I like this binder because it’s flexible and easy to use. I don’t like the fact that the binder things wear out easy but it’s a pretty good binder overall. The black look kind of fades after awhile. I’ve had it for a pretty long time now and it’s still good.Wow!! These are great I bought one at the beginning of school year (working on masters) and within a month I had purchase 6 more. I love the flexibility of these binder/notebook hybrid. They are just so much better and fit in bag much better that bulky binders. I have bought the inch/ inch and half if you using it for more than 200 pages go with the inch and half. But I prefer the inch (you can fit alot of stuff in it. Comes with dividers, paper, graph paper. I do wish the dividers had been different colors, rather than plain grey. Also wish that they were true pocket divider rather then the "sliders" type they are (like plastic covers type, not true folder) but they are fantastic regardless I just purchase different 5 star folders and was fine. I've already bought more for next year. Both husband and son hooked on them as well.I'm never buying another binder or notebook every again! Last semester, I spend a bunch of money on a notebook for every class; also, I had to keep switching notebooks day by day and carry a bunch of empty sheets with me. This hybrid notebook allows the benefits of a binder, it allows me to customize how many subjects I need and put as much or as little paper as I want so that I'm not unnecessarily carrying a bunch of blank papers which can get pretty heavy when combined with 2 or 3 text books: less is better. But, like a notebook, it takes up less space and is more flexible. It has folders so allows me to keep at hand papers I need rather then having to go through my backpack to pull out a folder and search through papers. DEFINITELY A MUST FOR EVERY STUDENT! IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!Tengan en cuenta que este modelo es más grande que un modelo normal, yo me lleve una sorpresa con eso pero fue mi culpa por no leer bien la descripción. En general es una carpeta-cuaderno genial y muy útil para la universidad, encuentro imprescindible comprar hojas reforzadas como las que venden ellos ya que las que vienen u otras comunes, si se rompen fácilmente. A tener en cuenta dentro del presupuesto.Excelente carpeta, lo único que no sirve son las hojas que ponen de muestra ya que se rompen demasiado fácil, y los repuestos de la misma marca(five atar) son estúpidamente caros(son de buena calidad lo reconozco) pero nada que no se pueda solucionar buscando repuestos de otra marcaBuena carpeta para estudiante. Gran durabilidad, la usé durante un año y medio y no tuvo más que algunos rasguños. Las divisiones son menos durables, estas si se rompieron después de cierto tiempo de uso.Colocar nuevas hojas de forma frecuente puede ser incómodo, recomiendo agregar el mayor número posible en cada ocasión.Me llegó raspado a pesar de venir en caja, o sea, me mandaron un producto dañado. Sinceramente no se parece a lo que muestran en las fotos, de eso depende mi calificación, no especifican el grosor de los aros, los cuales difieren del "estándar", y por ende, no puedes usar cualquier hoja.Es un cuaderno que puedes rellenar con hojas de carpeta. Aunque no es tán fácil meter y sacar las hojas como en una carpeta de aros tradicional, si permite mucha más flexibilidad para escribir. Sirve mucho cuando eres de las personas que toman muchos apuntes y después quieres acomodarlos de diferente forma, sin tener que cargar muchos cuadernos distintos. Muy recomendable.
