did anyone have problems with the cap accidentally opening while in a purse or a bag? i'm going to be carrying it in the same bag as a computer.

absolutely not, I carry mine around in a backpack with books, newspapers, IPad, it gets crushed, slammed, and has never leaked or opened.

I've brought this backpacking on an overnight trip and I've brought this on many day hikes. I've never had it leak and I've stored it in a bag on its side with confidence.You should still be super careful about putting this next to a laptop. User error is the most common reason for issues with this bottle. But, the bottle can still be punctured or popped with a bunch of pressure if you fall or whatever.

I have put it in my purse numerous times and have never had a problem with it coming open.

Mine leaked where the plastic wraps around the pouring apparatus, I would not put it near anything you couldn't get wet

My bottle, unfortunately, began to leak increasingly from a side-seam. When it got to point that it would create a pool of water around it on table, I had to replace. REI replaced, but I didn't notice that it was with a .7 liter. So now I'm buying another ... that's how much I like for now. But the seam can leak.

I purchased this bottle and I have not had any problems with the cap accidentally opening. I carry the bottle in my bag with my books, cell phone, tablet, etc. The cap is secure and stays tight withstanding movement very well.

I routinely keep it in the same bike pannier as my laptop and have never had a problem. This is despite all the shaking it experiences when I bike-commute twice a day on bumpy city roads.

I didn't have issues with the cap, it's very secure, there is a click (or a thonk sound) when you close it. You'll have more issues with condensation if you freeze it or have it cold, but a sock or bottle cozy should fix that. I carried it with my 3DSXL and Cell Phone in the same pocket of my bag. You can also hand it from the loop on a backpack/bag if you go one to be extra safe.

The cap "clicks" on to cover the writing nib, but slides on securely with no "click" when stored on the other end during writing. It's not going to fall off if that's the concern.

By chance have you been leaving the top slightly opened for periods of time? It may just be the air. I believe I have noticed this happening before when I would leave the lid open for periods of time like when twisting my daughter's hair but it doesn't seem to affect the product at all.

I haven't had any issues with it. I love this bag. Holds everything I take with me and it was CHEAP...but not cheaply made!

Have you tried pushing down the cap and turning once or twice, then just normally? It's got a catch or something that you have to push it down under to then unscrew it from how I get it openHope this helpsSofia

I'm not certain I would call it clicking into place, but there does seem to be a bit more tension when initially trying to open so as not to allow accidental opening. For what it's worth I'm on my second one of these and have carried one in my pocket for probably 2 years and never experienced the problem you described.

I've always kept my pepper spray in my purse or fanny pack, and I've never had an accidental spray. I keep it in the locked position unless it is in my hand. Done this for years - no problem.

Hmmm. It should just close when you do that. Try taking the top off and messing with it to see if it closes that way. If that doesn't work, you might have gotten a defective cap.

yes, it is locked in place. kinda tough to pull the cap off. good luck and start walking.

Mine is still fine no problem. The one thing I did notice is that it won't snap shut with the insert in it. (usb)

Yes. The cap is a screw top and incredibly tight. I keep it in my bag while commuting to work and never worry about it exploding

I had a problem with it too. The zipper should have a spot inside the locking mechanism so that it wont open very easily. Mine unfortunately broke but that's because I probably had too much medicine in it.

I'm glad you asked this question. I have carried my klean canteen by the loop on the bamboo cap many times. Even when the bottle is full to the brim, I have not had any problems. The lid is very strong..........well made and well worth the cost.

I have not had any issues removing the cap at all. I love the look and feel of this shaker and have had no problems with leaks either.

I believe this is normal. The cap is push on and pull off and needs a little effort. This keeps the cap from coming off in a shirt pocket or purse.

The cap just clicks open on its little hinge, very simply. Put your thumb under the little ridge that sticks out on bottom of colored cap. We have a green and a red drinking bottle, no problems. If you can't do this, maybe you have a defective cap.

I had the same problem at first, but after reading that others open it easily I tried again and found that it is best to open it from the corner, don't try to open it near the "clip." Now I, too, can open it with a "flick of a finger" as Beth responded earlier.
