Burgundy (D-150-BG)

Im always on the lookout for organizational tools. Many that I purchase just fall into the black hole that I'm wanting to organize. This product was totally worth the money. I use it every day. I've got two jobs and do a lot of volunteer work. As a mass transiter, my backpack is the trunk of my car. Leaving at 8 a.m. and not getting home til 10 p.m. at times, I need to carry a lot with me. The pockets help me keep my several projects sorted and ready to get done and the three ring binder is perfect when I'm in board meetings or need to make my action list. I would suggest anyone with multiple balls in the air to buy this. It's durable and fits nicely in any backpack or briefcase.

The duo binder has a huge number of uses around the house and on the go. It makes a perfect travel binder, you can keep travel details and itineraries in the ring binder and then file day by day or collect brochures and memorabilia in the pockets. I've used one to organize by college bound senior--first with applications and correspondence and now that he's settled on a school, I have contact sheets, a calendar and other documents in page protectors in the ring binder and the file can be used for other items such as statements, insurance papers and bank records. I've even prepared a vehicle maintenance log and budget forms for him in the binder part. It's compact and secure and brings the best of two useful office supplies into one item. Genius!

I liked the binder. The color was ligher than what showed on my computer, that was fine with me. It was exactly as decribed which please me. The only problem was that the latch doesn't work. I was really upset about that, and to get a refund or replacement, it would cost me to send it back. So I am going to have to figure out a way to get it to latch. I hate buying products that don't work the way they are suppose to.

I purchased this to help get organized for my job as a merchandiser. The rings keep my current guidelines and information for the weekly jobs of setting up for new items and doing resets. The expandable folder with is heavy duty plastic and has seven divisions with tabs built into it. Very nice. Also comes with paper tabs to insert. The only downside it that the closures are an elastic band to slide into a grooved plastic button. Not sure how long the elastic will last. I would recommend this to anyone looking for something to help them get organized for home or job. It is portable without being bulky. I am glad I got it.

As a teacher I love this purchase! I use it every day to tote around my papers to grade! I use the binder for the answer keys for grading, and the pockets for the papers from each class! Perfect! just wish it would hold more papers in the pocket. I don't like how when you open the binder section, the latch for the pockets comes open, but I guess every great invention has flaws!

The concept of this binder is good but the construction is bad. The binder is very flimsy - the binder as a whole, the cords and the clasps, and the organizing folders, and overall does not meet my needs. The front pocket (the tabbed folders) does not stay closed when I open up to the three ring binder. I really wish the material of the binder was more sturdy because I like the duo concept for organization purposes. I thought putting a 3-hole-punched notepad with a cardboard backing would help keep the binder more sturdy but it did not help. I didn't ask for a return or a refund because I will still be able to put the product to use but it wasn't what I had hoped for.

I love the functionality of the binder but I find that I am really lazy to no fault of the binder. I used two of these...one for my baby's records and important documents and the others to keep household info, coupons, receipts, etc. I end up stacking my filing next to these instead of taking the time to open them up. They are not challenging to get into but I find that I don't make it a priority to open it up like I should. Quality item and love the vibrant colors. I received this green one as well as one in turquoise. Will repurchase for other projects and make myself use them more!

Love this binder for keeping up with my caregiver's paperwork. Everything's in one place and easy to carry wherever you go whether the doctor's office or taking care of business around town.
