Binding is not great once it's close to getting filled

Binding is not great once it's close to getting filled. I bought this to put my 500 pictures I had from a traveling trip and when I tried closing the album it was uneven and coming apart a bit and that was the first day i received the album.

The binding had a infraction in it. It seems like that would be a key note to make in the discription. I expected pages, put once the binding is comprised everything else could come apart easily.

This tool is quite helpful in creating binding but the fabric doesn't always feed through it straight. Maybe I just need a little more practice using it...

The bind of the book is extremely loose. I hope I'm not charged for it since it came this way.

Good paper for drawing...the binding...well, it sucks.

I purchased for my students to use and hopefully appeal to the student who doesn't like to read the "non-picture" books -- this does the job!  They are reading it and looking at the drawings and learning all at the same time.  My only issue is that the binding is soo tight that after a number of times opening the book the binding is already breaking and the pages are becoming loose.  This has happened only after about 4 readings.  If the pages were bigger or made of a cheaper material, the binding might be able to take the  constant readings.

I'm only giving this 3 stars because of the binding that was to hold the paper in at the top came undone. There are 4 squares to the inch and this is perfectly adequate for drafting patterns, etc but having the paper slide out of it's binding is very awkward and hard to keep the remaining sheets free from getting bent.

Disappointed to receive one with a misaligned binding.

The binding worries me, it makes awkward noises when opening it. I don't think it will lose pages, but still makes me want to handle it with care. The black on the picture sections is smeary, so don't be surprised if you start leaving finger prints there.

This is a wonderful binder. The only complaint is that when you get a lot of documents in the binder, the rings do not completely close. You have to assist your documents turn to the left over the break in the rings. The papers get hung on the area that does not close all the way. Still a lifesaver for me in holding my documents.

The initial condition of the book was near perfect... But the binding started falling apart within the week. I will avoid this distributor in the future.

The book bind might seems a bit weak to hold such a huge amount of pages but it wasn't as heavy as i thought. There is a map attached to the book at the first few pages. It might be kind of hard to open it. Nevertheless, it is still an awesome book, just need to be more gentle with the binding :)

The only problem I have with this is the binding.  It gets all bound up when working in it and turning pages.  It also needs notebook holes in it so I can put it in my IEP binder and track everything together - easier.

Once this binder begins to get over half full, it becomes more difficult to close it. It does not fold nicely when it begins to get a bit full and I am just curious as to when some of the CD holders are going to rip. Should have been used with a more tough yet elastic material.

Large areas to write on but the paper gets stuck on the rings so flipping through is sometimes difficult and the rings get stuck on other binders so they bend easily.

I LOVE the pictures and theme of this calendar, however the binding makes this calendar not flip correctly. It either gets stuck or isn't aligned properly. Unfortunately, I had to cut the spiral binding off in order to use the calendar correctly.

I love the soft cover of this binder, and the fact that you can zip it shut. It's like a binder and storage pouch all in one.  It has two zippered pockets, one inside and one on the front, plus a deep pocket inside and a small pocket with a velcro closure.

The three-ring metal binder piece inside is strong and of good quality. You can remove that piece with your papers still in it if you want to use the cloth part as more of a pouch than a binder. I love that versatility.

There are some weak points I should mention. Number one is that the softness of the pouch means your papers inside are more likely to get bent if you're not careful, compared with a hard-sided binder. The other weakness is that the three-ring piece attaches inside with velcro. In the binder I received, I cannot get the velcro to attach firmly for about 2" at the bottom, so there's the possibility that the piece could come off unexpectedly and your papers could go flying.

Editing to add: Very shortly after writing this review, I discovered how difficult it is to get the zipper started to close the binder when the 3-ring metal piece has been removed. It's really irritating, and for me quite a drawback, for which I've had to remove one star from my rating.
