Glasstic Shatterproof Glass Water Bottle - 16oz - Double Walled - Flip Cap Sports Water Bottle

Unfortunately this is seemingly the best and only product on the market in its class as a shatterproof glass water bottle. I was disappointed because right when I took it apart, I saw on the bottom what confirmed my suspicion... MADE IN CHINA. My suspicion arose from when I first open the package and held the product and I could tell the plastic and even the glass itself was poor quality. I tossed only the glass bottle in the dishwasher, and hand-washed the plastic. After the dishwasher the glass bottle will need to be hand washed as water spots stain the inside.I'm giving this 4 stars despite my complaints on quality because the design of this product is excellent. The price is high since knowing that it probably cost pennies to produce, but fair because of its design and functionality.If this was made of quality glass and top/bottom pieces of metal instead of plastics.. it would be a superior product. As it stands I expect to be replacing this device in a couple years from normal wear and tear of the plastics.Also, if anyone who represents the company happens to be reading this, another "upgrade" would be to make the top lid incorporate glass as well, or even metal, so that absolutely no plastic comes in contact with the contents of the container.

I like this glass bottle to keep my filtered water in. I like that if you register it with the producer parts have a free lifetime replacement. I did not find that the bottle within bottle added any temperature insulation. Cod water warmed up just as fast as in a plain glass. For some reason the instructions on how to take the bottle apart are printed on a paper curled around the glass and inside the plastic bottle. The instructions were unreadable. I could not find instructions on the producers site and the chat person on the producers site didn't know how to take the bottle apart. SO--unscrew the plastic top and bottom of the bottle and remove. At a safe height over a safe counter, press firmly on the top lip of the glass bottle with the palm of your hand while holding the plastic cylinder and the glass will free itself and be able to be removed through the bottom. Assemble in reverse. Enjoy your bottle. Be sure to register for the lifetime guarantee.

(I'm writing this under my husbands account.) My husband got this for me for Christmas, and I LOVE this water bottle. I prefer glass water bottles for the taste, but I've had many and most of them shatter the first or second time you drop them. One I had recently, shattered into about a billion peices while my husband was just washing it in the sink (it only fell about 6 inches), my husband got some pretty nasty cuts on his hand, and after that, I was seriously considering going back to plastic, when he found this awesome water bottle. Firstly, I'm sure it's possible to break this water bottle, but it would be a heck of a lot harder than a normal completely glass bottle.The outside layer is plastic. It's easier to grip than glass, (so less likely to fall in the first place) and has a little give to it. There's an inner glass bottle, that holds your beverage, and it's only touched by glass, so you get the great taste (which, is the first reason to get a glass bottle). The double bottle also acts to insulate cold water (and does a pretty awesome job).Personally, I'm a fan of the open mouth water bottles (like this one) vs. straws or the pop-up caps. This bottle's mouth is just the right size and comfortable to drink out of. I like the top [lid] as well. *note to first time users, it flips ALL the way back. like 270 degrees, so it's lying against the side of the bottle completly out of your way. I didn't know this at first and thought it obstructed my ability to drink, but just keep pushing it back (it has two hinges, so it kindof stops, then you have to push it a little harder to get it to go the rest of the way)The [lid] locks as well. I like this because I carry my watter bottle in my lunch bag, and sometimes my purse, to work, so knowing that it won't pop open and drench everything is pretty nice. The bottle has a handle as well, which makes it easier to carry when your hands are full.One last thing: I can't figure out why, but most of the seals on my other glass water bottles aren't perfect. They leak. This one is perfect. I'm totally comfortable putting in my purse with my iPhone (when it's locked of course)All in all, I don't have one bad thing to say about this water bottle, and will be replacing all of my other water bottles with this one as they break. (it shouldn't take too long.)

I really want to love these but there are few problems. I was under mistaken impression that the glass was somehow fused to the plastic. The glass liner is fully removable. Which is great for washing but...there is always moisture condensing between the glass and plastic which makes it look dirty and it starts to smell a little mildewy. To be clear, the smell and moisture is on the outside surface not the inside.The plastic lid seals OK but there's no o-ring or other securement to guarantee it won't leak. When turned upside down it did not leak but when I shook it a little liquid dripped out - I wouldn't put this in a bag or purse upside down. Hopefully future models will incorporate a more hiking bouncing kid resistant design.
