Did you order one of these yet? And if so, how was the quality?

BTW, they're now under $10 each!

If anyone is interested in these binders, my advice is to save your money.

At under $10 (I paid $9.60 with free shipping since I have Amazon Prime) I decided it was worth the gamble. Both the binder and slipcase are made of a very lightweight cardboard covered in an alligator pattern embossed paper. They actually don't look bad, they just feel cheap. They use a cheap 3-ring mechanism which is riveted through the cardboard in only two spots. I put 25 Vario pages in it and they don't feel too secure. I'm sure if you loaded it full, the rivets would eventually pull right through the cardboard.

I'll put it to good use, but I wont be counting on it lasting too long.

Can you do some close-up pictures of both the slipcase and the binder? I was actually considering these.

Thanks.

Here are some close ups. One more thing I've noticed is how thin the rings are. It may be difficult to tell how thin they are, but in the last picture is the same set of vario pages in a Mystic binder. The rings in the Mystic binder are much thicker. When you pick the cheap binder up the pages aren't held securely and the pages protrude from the bottom.
