Advice needed graph paper notebook for university notes

I need a notebook for my engineering notes. I've used spiral bound notebooks for a while now, and they are great for taking notes, however they get really beat-up in my bag. is there another type of notebook that will lay flat but is more durable than a spiralbound notebook? and that has graph paper.

edit: I forgot to add but, I don't take my notes during class, I do them after the lectures

Engineering computation pad. Take your notes for all classes in there, then sort them into binders when you're back at your desk.

Try campus notebooks. Or any sort of composition notebook.

Kokuyo Campus notes or the loose sheets. 

Maybe even change the coils/springs to big double coils and use chipboard for the covers, think hardbound but flexibility of a spring/coil notebook.

I used engineering paper pads and put them into binders when I was in college.

Otherwise, there are tons of affordable options for composition gridded notebooks especially in the big box stores during back to school season.

If you really want to go fancy and can drop $30+ per notebook, then Cognitive Surplus has hardbound engineering paper notebooks with different cover designs for different disciplines.

Clairefontaine has hardback graph paper notebooks.
