I had the spandex ones, but paper bag ones always worked better. My textbooks were often big enough that the spandex ones just made them hard to carry, and you could always draw on the paper bag ones.
We’d have to pay for the books if they were visibly damaged, and replacements were often $100 or more (in the mid to late '00s), and even though I grew up in one of the “best” public schools in the US, my parents still couldn’t afford to replace them.
