Cardinal 12122 Premier Easy Open 11 x 17 Locking Slant-D Ring Binder, 1 1/2" Cap, Black

Was exactly as advertised. Well and sturdily made. Priced well against competition.

Just what I needed for my older genealogy charts. They were printed on large, stiff paper and too big for standard binders. This binder is strong, made well. I also bought the sleeves and they are working out great. Delivery was fast and nicely packed.

Good quality and just right size for my project.

I used this to construct a portfolio of architectural drawings for school, but it would also become my professional portfolio for trying to find a job. It's a nice, simple, professional looking binder. It's got a nice length (extends beyond the length of 11x17 sleeves, which of course are longer than 17"--I used these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LXZRAA/), it uses a nice set of rings with a little easy open tab, and a small clear pouch on the spine for sliding in a name or logo or something. The only thing I question is it's durability--I'm sure if it's handled carefully there won't be any problems, but I speculate that if it's dropped or something then the sheathing at the corners might split and start peeling back, since the cover seems to be constructed similarly to like cheap Wal-Mart binders or what have you. Overall, it's a solid purchase that fulfills its purpose. Of all the portfolios my instructor received, he liked the presentation of mine the most and was recommending to the other students to look into getting a similar binder.

Perfect size for 11x17 maps.

This is a well made notebook with an easy 3 ring opener. An extra large size of 18x11.5 with a slim 1.5 spine. It can be used for legal papers but it serves me well for all my individual world country maps. Highly recommend.

This was for a special project that involved using tabloid paper. I think it's done a great job in helping me keep all the ideas in the right place. It's not a file that I use every day but, when I need to refer to it, it works.

Complete garbage. The lever that opens the rings fell out on the first day. Who cares. I open the rings anyway. 7 days in and the back cover is split along the edge with the cardboard showing.

I'd give this a five star if the price was more reasonable. This is the issue with all these unique sized binders, though. Rings are easy to open and close together nicely even after 4 months of constant opening and closing. The thickness of the cover could be a bit thicker to make it easier to carry around. However, mine stays on my desk almost exclusively.
