" ... I don’t like the slim and tall shape but it has not leaked a drop and it’s easy to clean and that’s what counts! ... "
" ... It's really easy to clean and does not require any special tools. ... "

" ... Very nice workmanship. ... "
" ... I finally found the right commuter mug. ... "
" ... The matte texture feels really good in my hands and I’m not afraid of it slipping and falling. ... "
" ... Nice quality mug that hold in heat very well ... "
" ... the insulation works great ... "
" ... I've dropped this many times and even on the LID to ground first (see photo of damage). ... "

" ... First of all, its feels really light, good for travel. ... "
" ... I own 3 of these (two in the 20 oz size and one in the smallest size), and they are incredible. ... "
" ... However, its the best travel mug ive ever bought. ... "
" ... My girl friend love it, very nice size ... "
" ... I take it everywhere and throw it in my purse. ... "
" ... It's just slightly bigger than a normal can of soda, for size reference. ... It's a great size, and nice and slim rather than huge and bulky like so many other similar products. ... "

" ... This container is really more than it's advertised. ... "
" ... It's also by far my lightest insulated container. ... I've carried hot beverages with this in my bag many times and it's never leaked (my klean kanteen has many times). ... "
" ... The best thing is it can be locked, thrown upside down in a bag and it won’t leak. ... "
" ... With water bottles/thermos I've owned in the past, usually they will accumulate this thin layer of slimy film in the inside of the bottle even if I just fill it only with water, and would require really vigorous scrubbing with a bottle brush. ... "
" ... Top locks so won’t spill in your bag. ... "
" ... though most of the lid pieces can go through the dishwashers, and it's not too narrow for a normal bottle brush to fit in it. ... "
" ... I drink water 24/7 and I bought this bottle because I liked the fact that you can fit ice cubes into it. ... "
" ... Securely closely lid. ... "

" ... Just the right size to fit into my backpack along with a water bottle, my books, and my lunch. ... "
" ... The small profile also makes it easily fit into the water bottle pouch on my backpack, which is hard for my 32 oz flask. ... "
" ... I like to have something with me while I drive and being able to keep it in a cup holder makes it accessible. ... "
" ... It’s everything I wanted in a travel mug and it fits in my cup holder in the car! ... "
" ... It doesn't leak and its tall and slim so my small hands can grip it easily. ... "
" ... Another potential drawback: it is narrower than my car cupholder, so I worry about whether it will stay in place if I stop fast. ... "
" ... If you keep your fingers out of the way when the lid flips open, it will automatically swing past the first click and open all the way.) ... "
" ... It's far more narrow than the thermos, which makes it far easier for me to hold. ... "

" ... It's especially easy to use for people whose wrists is weak or injured. ... "
" ... You can feel the quality as soon as you hold it. ... "
" ... I agree with everything he said in that review, it fits great in your hand, I drink teas all the time and the smell when you open it is wonderful from the tea I am currently carrying. ... "
" ... It doesn't leak and its tall and slim so my small hands can grip it easily. ... I don't typically like flip top lids, but this one is very comfortable to drink out of and the lid isn't at all in the way when I drink from it. ... "
" ... When you hold it, it is comfortable and light. ... "
" ... It's far more narrow than the thermos, which makes it far easier for me to hold. ... "
