I've started using Staples Better Binders. I know a lot of people don't like them, because they're a little flexible, but I love the spine on them:

That looks pretty nice, Andy. How does the inside look?

Dayglo. Unnervingly like Borussia Dortmund's strip.

Here is some Staples Better Binder info:

Looks like Staples Makes a Better Binder with removable rings:

I've been converting my collection to Staples Better Binders as well. (30+ albums and counting). I use mostly Steiner pages and self-designed pages.
It isn't a perfect solution but for me it's a nice compromise between the traditional vinyl binders and more expensive ways to store pages.
As Andy says, there is a lot of flexibility on what you can do with the spine and the covers.
On the downside, they are flexible so you have to be careful how you store them on a shelf. Squeeze too many together and you can get bent pages.

Experienced stamps need a home too. I'd rather have an example that is imperfect than no example.
I collect for enjoyment, not investment.

The other binder I thought was cool was the Naked Binder. The problem is, their shipping cost is outrageous. For one $7.00 binder, the shipping is almost $15.00 to my house.

Neither Staples of Naked Binders have slip cases. Bindertek binders have slip cases.

They seemed of good quality and the features were nice. I am going to go home and transfer some albums into them, so I'll report back after that.
