Kokuyo Campus Smart Ring Binders 3 Pack, B5 Binder Notebooks in White & Black, Up to 25 Sheets 26 Holes Slim Binder Folder and 200 Campus Loose-Leaf Paper for Work Study Journal, Japan Import

My daughter has a theme for her freshman year and it’s aesthetic looking items so these binders were perfect for her new backpack.Binders are durable and compact enough to not look bulky in the backpack. It’s easy to open and close and all of her paperwork is now organized and meticulous.The price is better than buying from Walmart or Target.

My son loved these so much !!!! Great buy !!!!

The paper included with this is quite good. Its smooth to write on with a fountain pen and ink tends not to bleed through it easily. I find it is still possible to see a shadow of the writing on the other side, but it is minor enough that you can effectively ignore it.The binder on the other hand has a lot of problems. Most noticeably, the rings have a ton of slop in them so the paper catches almost 100% of page turns and a further 10% of page turns ends in one side or the other escaping from the rings, which, as I am sure you can expect, is extremely annoying and forces you to open the binder to fix it. That leads us onto the second issue I have with this binder: it is finicky to open. You have to push the tab against the pages or it won't open, which is not exactly intuitive. In addition because you pretty much have to be holding the binder when you open it, the pages inevitably start falling out of it as soon as it pops open. Furthermore, because the spine is so thick you can't write with it folded open, and if you do so anyway, you may end up putting weird forces on binder rings that could potentially damage them, or at least pry them open. As a consequence of that, if you want to use both sides of the paper, you have to write with your arm over the rings.. which is extremely uncomfortable as they are far more pokey than even a metal ringed spiral bound notebook.I give the paper a 4.5/5 and the binder a 1.5/5 for technically working.

using this permenantly

It is a lovely notebook system, compact, lightweight, lovely color selection.However, the binder rings are quite small. meaning it is not designed to hold up much.My plan was to add on more paper and calendar, folder even as the project goes on. But unfortunately this one would not allow me to do that.I will find other purpose for it.

the paper is awesome it’s nice to write on but the only problem I had with this is how the papers fall out very easily every time. Maybe if they stanned txt it would be better.

I’ve always wanted these because they look so nice and being able to replace the paper is super convenient, it makes it easy to carry around instead of just having a bunch of paper with you that you don’t need. The paper feels really nice and it doesn’t bleed through either, and the design is just so sleek and nice :3
