Kokuyo KME-SRBSP706LG Loose Leaf Binder, Smart Ring 60, KOKUYO ME B5 (Transparent)

I love these for school work. I'm an online university student, and I like to print lecture slides, lessons, and worksheets so I don't have to stare at a screen as much. Other than these refillable notebooks I've tried many things, including creating my own spiral notebooks with a coil binding machine. I have about 12 of these now and never use the binding machine anymore. Here's why I love these: > I don't like the bulk that typically comes from binders, especially standard/A4/letter size. I also prefer to save space and paper by writing front and back, which typical binders don't allow you to do unless you have it fully expanded—increasing the bulk factor. These negate that issue and add virtually no additional bulk beyond the paper added. Even if you aren't an online student, these are far better than lugging around a bunch of giant 3 ring binders everywhere around campus. > Compared to the coil binding machine, these are far easier to use for the following reasons: > The Kokuyo prepunched 26-hole B5 paper that can be purchased separately saves me from having to punch stacks upon stacks of paper like I have to do with the binding machine, and I don't need to worry about misaligning the holes or anything. > Using these, I don't have to fuss with pliers and wire cutters for trimming and bending wire coils. > The plastic covers on these are far more effective (and attractive!) than the card stock I would use with the binding machine. > The durability and refillable nature of these allows me to use their convenience again and again, making them WELL worth the price. When a semester is over I can take the pages out, store them for later reference, and reuse the binders for the next courses. I can also continue to easily add/remove pages throughout the course. With the machine, once it's bound it's done. **I do recommend the 60 sheet capacity options for these binders as opposed to the lower (I think it's 25 sheet?) capacity options, as the lower capacity rings have a tendency to open on their own.

Should have this long time ago. It's so convenient you can open the note book and insert or remove pages. I notice there are complain about it only have 10 sheet of paper in the notebook, but you were suppose to buy the refills.

Es más práctico si solo quieres tomar los apuntes del día y no llevar tanta carga en tu mochila o en tus manos

最初、リングの外し方に手こずりましたが、分かれば、とてもスムーズです。薄型で場所もとらず、買って良かったです。

I’ve been using different versions of this Kokuyo Campus Smart Ring Binder for about 4 years now, and it has stayed a constant in my daily routine—first as a senior manager and later as a director. What makes this binder special for me is how clean, flexible, and practical it is. I deal with multiple topics at the same time—projects, people development, interview notes, career discussions—and being able to reorganize, add, or split sections easily is a huge advantage over traditional notebooks. It keeps my thinking structured without feeling rigid. The writing experience is also excellent. The paper feels smooth and soft, which sounds like a small thing but really matters when you’re taking notes all day. I use it regularly in meetings, interviews, and one-on-one conversations, and it always feels professional and intentional. Interestingly, I’ve even expanded its use beyond work. As a guitar player, I now use it to take quick notes while learning new songs—chord ideas, structure, small variations—because it’s just as easy to reorganize music notes as it is work topics. If I had one small concern, it’s that the plastic rings require a bit of gentle handling. They’ve never broken on me, but they don’t feel indestructible, so I’m slightly more careful when opening or rearranging pages. Overall, this is one of those products that quietly becomes part of your daily life. If you like staying organized, thinking on paper, and adapting your notes over time, this system is hard to beat.
