I've been using this organizer for a few months now since my old one broke - clasp fell apart after bumping into a door.

It's an extremely sturdy organizer with a tough outer section. It holds files well, feels professional, and looks professional. I do wish the top hinge was a little softer in the back so that when you open the file, you could actually bend it back. This would allow you to organize or look for items without having the cover continually being held up by a second hand.

Compared to the more generic organizers I've seen where the outside is just heavy cardstock, this one is quite sturdy. The black outside is a heavy cardboard and it solidly snaps shut. Looks nice sitting around under the desk. Each partition is labeled with something business-like, although not necessarily what you want to use it for. But you could certainly take a pen and write on your own labels. All in all a nice case, it was nice to get my company's papers a little more organized.

This is a good product. It fulfills its advertisement and more, and the shipping was timely. I'm happy with it and would order from the source again.

I liked this type of organizer enough that when the one I bought 15 years ago started wearing out, I bought another. It's a very handy way to file medical and charity receipts, income related items, savings related items, stock certificates, miscellaneous matters. And it all is portable by a handle.

Great for keeping important papers organized. I would like to see a way to hold the top open while using the organizer...it always wants to close itself and can be annoying. All in all, a good product and great value.

I purchased this portable expandable file for my Army unit. Thus far, it has proven largely troop proof (i.e., hardy). Highly recommend this item for those who do not have filing cabinets, or for those who need portable filing systems that are hardy and stand up to extreme use.

I am very happy with this product. It is much better than what I owned before. The shell is sturdy and it has more than enough files. Couple things I wish were different though. First, the lid does not stay open on its own. You have to hold it open while getting or putting away your papers. Second, it comes with pre-labeled files that are printed on. Great if that what you need it for. I had to put tape over to create my own labels. Over-all it is a great organizer and perfect for transporting.

I just purchased mine a few days ago, so it's not here yet.......
But-I can see there's A Lot of concern about keeping the lid open on this file folder...
I'm not sure if this'll work or not, but I've tried it on several different things to keep them open, when I'm needing to keep something open for any length of time-(i.e.-boxes, files and the like).......
Why not get a small box of those Giant Paperclips-you know-the kind that's thicker and LOTS Bigger than 'normal' paperclips-(those'd Never work for this, hehee ;>).......
Even if you have to put one on each side to keep the dern thing open-Still-if it works and Doesn't cost and arm and a leg-It'll HELP by being the solution you're looking for with something like this-YAYYY <:O!!!.......
I hope this helps you guys out and anybody else who might be having a problem with one of these files or something like it they may need to keep open for any length of time...
Or...You always could use one of those HUGE Oversized Thick Rubberbands-they work just as well too, lol ;).......

It seems well made, up to the standard of my old one which lasted 15 or more years of constant use. I'll let you know more in another 15 years!!

very practical- is has 19 folder pockets to organize all your documents and important papers. It is light-weight and easy to carry, with a convenient handle. At $26 the price is also reasonable.
