I bought these to hold flash cards together for studying. They're exactly what they're supposed to be, great price and slightly better made than some I've seen. These are the larger ones, so I intend to buy the smaller size as well. I think these'll hold over 100 cards each. I'm not sure what this product would need to be to earn 5 stars, so don't think the 4 stars means I'm disatisfied :)

I ordered these book rings online because I needed a funky way to bind my portfolios. I had found before a set of 9 rings at Staples for the same price, then I found these online: a set of 50 for the same price!!
A real bargain, and when they arrived they were in good quality. I am very satisfied with the product.

I make a lot of mini scrapbooks and although I have a Bind-It-All, for the fatter (well-embellished) books I need something bigger that won't bend under the pressure of many heavy pages. I was accustomed to buying book rings at scrapbook stores that have brushed copper or other finishes (such as the 7 gypsies rings), but I was paying the same price for four rings that I did for this entire box. When I found this on Amazon, I felt like I'd hit pay dirt!

The cost of just one scrapbook can range from $20 to $75 depending on the materials you use, so I try to cut corners without cutting quality as much as I can. In this case, I'm saving a lot and still getting great quality binder rings (although when I do a vintage mini book, I really load up the ribbons to tone down the shiny nickel finish).

This box arrived in perfect condition, unlike the box of 3" rings I purchased. They had been shipped in a padded envelope and the box was crushed flat. Very happy to find this economical option.

This loose binder rings are perfect for what I needed them for. I was able to reuse my binders while keeping the old material in them organized. They also arrived in a very timely manner which I appreciated.

A nice price for so many rings. The rings are nice quality and delivered promptly. Granted, some rings are a bit harder to open than others, but it's not a problem at all. Just make sure you order the size that you need.

The rings arrived in a cheap packaging, the box that it was in was stapled on the sides to keep it together. However, all 50 rings were present in the box. Although some of the rings weren't all identical, some of them barely lined up. Overall, the rings work fine and it keeps my notecards together.

I love Acco Metal Book Rings! This is probably a weird statement to make, but when you think outside of the box, they have many different uses:
- Curtain rod hangers
(recently tried this in a nursery and it adds a very modern touch to hanging curtains, plus they glide perfectly on the rod)

- Study card holder
(hole-punched the corner of index cards and had handy flashcards in minutes)

- Picture holder
(used this concept on a film set and had location shots, favorite camera angles, and crew contact information all together on one ring)

- Book Rings
(why not state the obvious, right?)

Unlike binders, these rings do not tend to lose their ability to snap together. In other words, they don't bend out of shape easily.

50 may seem like a lot, but you'll find uses for them eventually.

I use these as "shower rings" for a fabric shower curtain that hangs in front of some shelving. So much cheaper than actual shower rings. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is that it takes two hands to fasten them due to not being stiff enough to hold their shape with one hand....... minor, just annoying when you have a bunch to do and are doing it from a step stool.

Perfect size for my law school flashcards, and for $13 a pack, you get a lot. They can also be recycled as they're pretty durable. I also use them to hold my hair ties in the bathroom, so I guess you can get creative with them. Once in a while you get a ring that's a bit stiff but I haven't found too many of them.

I was so happy to receive the Book Rings. What I wanted them for is shower curtain hooks. My shower rod is too wide for ordinary shower curtain hooks that I could find. After racking my brain for weeks looking for wide ones and being disappointed, a light bulb went off and I ordered these. A pat on my back goes to me for finding a solution to my problem. I was so glad to get rid of the bread ties holding the curtain up. There are also many other things that I will use them for. The shipping was fast although there was a slight mishap with the transit. Looks like something fell into the package and ripped the seal. It was retaped and arrived intact with nothing broken.
