It makes it easy to use and your fingers aren&#8217;t at risk of getting pinched.<\/p>\n<p>There are 8 different styles of accessories that work with the binder, and this is critical due to the way the binder functions. They are all made of poly material. \u00a0The clipboard is the most interesting and unique to me \u2013 as it clips into the binder while still being sturdy enough to use independently.\u00a0 They offer the more traditional media file, envelope with string closure, a file folder with elastic closures, and a single and a double (\u201ctwin\u201d) pocket.\u00a0 They also offer a display book and a project pocket \u2013 neither of which came with my binder.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_445\" style=\"width: 180px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jenniferlinnig.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Pendaflex-Clipboard.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-445\" class=\"size-full wp-image-445\" title=\"Pendaflex Clipboard\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jenniferlinnig.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Pendaflex-Clipboard.jpg?resize=170%2C170\" alt=\"Pendaflex Clipboard\" width=\"170\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jenniferlinnig.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Pendaflex-Clipboard.jpg?w=170 170w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jenniferlinnig.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Pendaflex-Clipboard.jpg?resize=150%2C150 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 170px) 100vw, 170px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-445\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pendaflex Clipboard<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Each accessory has a piece of plastic on one side for slipping into those channel slots, and when they are being used outside of the binder, they bend behind and can be held there.\u00a0 This makes them look like your basic accessory &#8211; clipboard, document pocket, document envelope, etc.\u00a0 This is a wonderful feature for offering those accessories for multiple purposes and not limiting them to use only with the binder.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve talked before about how normal binders are just OK to me, I dislike how their shape affects their utility when not in use, whether upright or on their side, it doesn&#8217;t make them conducive for stacking or keeping on a shelf.\u00a0 These binders are shaped in the same way.\u00a0 I do appreciate the elastic closure they&#8217;ve included and if you prefer not to use it, you don&#8217;t have to.<\/p>\n<p>These binders come in only two sizes.\u00a0 In some ways, this might not be a detriment; it forces all of us to limit how stuffed we might be tempted to fill it.\u00a0 It certainly won&#8217;t stymie us with choices, as there are two choices for the binder \u2013 the presentation or the storage style.\u00a0 Of course, there are all the different accessory pieces we can choose. The binder has 8 channel slots, so you can fit your choice of 8 accessory pieces.<\/p>\n<p>I realize that the world is moving more and more to online shopping, but I really prefer the ability to see and feel products before I decide to spend my money on it.\u00a0 These do not seem to be available locally \u2013 OfficeDepot offers them on their website, but only for delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Note: All my reviews are done without consideration for the company (sorry!) &#8211; as unbiased as possible!  I don&#8217;t receive anything from any of them and most don&#8217;t know I&#8217;m even reviewing their products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After seeing this and its accessories at the 2010 NAPO conference, I was surprised to get one in the mail.
