Springback Album..what Is That?

I know this is a very late arrival to this topic. In regard to springback binders wearing out over time, they hold up very well even after many years if you're not constantly adding or removing pages. No matter what kind of album format you work with, constant movement takes its toll. Three, four-ring or multi- hole binders are great for pages laying flat, but over time the friction on the holes takes its toll, especially if the album is not at capacity. Two-post binders have the same issues. It's why they sell those mylar hole reinforcements.
Personally, I'll stick with a (Full) two-post or springback because of the lack of wear on the pages. I can work around the pages not being flat.

No matter what, expect that time will take its toll on any binder and the more it's features are used, the sooner they will wear out.

Spring-back Binders - Repairing Of.
I'm still a huge fan of spring-back binders and just recently bought 7 New Lighthouse binders at an auction. They were new in 1980 but had been poorly stored and so two of them failed after only a few bends to insert pages. th others are still TBD.
I contacted the auction house and told them of my dilemma and they promptly refunded my money. I have thrown out failed spring-back binders in the past but I resolved to try and repair these failures.

If you're interested in how to fix, send me a note and I'll give you the whole lowdown. You'll need something to spread the spring device apart; I found the perfect devices on Amazon. A 1.75" diameter dowel; JB Weld plastic bonding epoxy,; and some clamps. For the finishing touch you'll need some art paper and Krylon spray adhesive.
