I just bought a 1" binder from
Amazon and I was really surprised at the quality.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...8XWZACUOE83ZIt is not real leather as per the product title but it really does look and feel like real leather. And the D-rings are mounted to the back cover. Very solid feel to it too.
I just moved my Overrun Countries collection mounted on quadrille pages to this new binder and they now have 'breathing' space. I am very happy with it and plan to get a few more.
At $10 each (the 1.5" is $12) I think they are a steal even with the $5 shipping. Definitely worth a look.
