Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 These binders are perfect! I ordered a couple through work and they are light, easy to open and well...just great!

You will probably want to have someone open, close and bend the covers back and forth a bunch of times to " break it in " first. :-) I hope it works for ya! I like mine.

I had a bunch of them too as a kid, but had long since gotten rid of them. When I started back to school last fall, I went hunting them on eBay, and managed to find one exactly like one I had back then. It wasn't cheap though...I think I paid $15 for it, which is a lot for one notebook! But it did have the plastic slide tab rings. Not all Trapper Keepers on eBay do though, so if you look there, make sure it's one from the '80s TKs. > > However, later I also discovered that there is a new one on the market that uses a similar slide tab ring setup.

I like it better use-wise than my vintage Trapper Keeper b/c it is more sturdy and less cutesy. But a girl's gotta love her vintage butterflies too... ;-) > > Hope this helps! > > Blessings, > Holly > > > > > > From: Joy > > Date: 2007/09/12 Wed PM 01:57:30 GST > > > > Subject: OT: Notebook/Binders > > > > Hi all, > > I'm trying to find light weight binders that are also easy to open and close.
