do you have to open the flip lid to drink from it?

There is a flip cover that can be locked in the open position or closed position or left unlocked. If locked in the open you don't have to mess with the flip cover at all.

It is necessary to open the lid. I have removed mine because my use does not require transport ..

Yep. But when its closed the cup is very water tight. You could shake it and nothing would come out.

Actually, you can take the little piece off that covers the drinking hole. But this is definitely one of the nicest and most durable mugs I have ever purchased.

You have to close the little flap that covers an opening for drinking from, otherwise; it will not spill. If flap is open, it might spill contents, but slowly enough to not be disastrous.

Yes you do need to take entire cap off to drink. Top opening is about an inch and a half wide.

It does not. The lid is one solid piece like a jar, so after removing the lid its similar to drinking out of a mason jar with a tea strainer. So when the lid is on its spill proof but when you open it to take a drink it is just as spillabe as any other cup. I do not find this to be a problem and i take mine everywhere. With the lid in place i can throw it in my purse or diaper bag with no worries.

The lid screws on, and you have a flip open drinking slot. We have had these cups, or a replacement set for many years and think they are superb.

No. The lid is literally a flexible rubber with a small hole to drink through. Very basic.

You can order a flip top lid from sunstea.com for $3.99 plus shipping. I don't know why they don't offer it with this product from the start. The flip top lid has a sort of tube or spout that you drink from. There is no second air hole to eliminate the vacuum effect, so drinking from it is awkward. I would have been better off sticking with my old system of a Thermos travel mug and a long handled tea ball infuser.

It's attached to the lid of the mug which screws off for cleaning (and separates into 2 pieces plus a silicone ring/gasket). With one hand you can press the button and the lid springs up and back and stays there until you close it. It won't flip down while you drink. I saw some reviewers complain that some of the lid/latch mechanism interferes with drinking but I have not found this to be the case. I love this mug. If you want hot liquids to stay very hot for several hours, this is for you. It's beautifully designed. My only complaint is that it has a high center of gravity. So it you have a big dog with tail that sweeps items off a coffee table... then maybe another mug :-)

No it does not. It has a flip up piece that reveals the lip part to drink out of.

The lid is hinged on the thermos bottle and has a latch that holds the lid open when you are drinking, if you want to use it. I hope that answers your question.

There is only one opening, it is suitable for a straw or for sipping. There is a 1mm pinhole that allows air through when you are drinking. The lid will prevent spilling when walking with the container in hand, or driving, or on a bike, but it does not seal the container or allow you to invert it.

You are correct. You must remove the whole lid to take a drink. I was a little weary of this at first, but it is easy to drink from.

It doesn't have lid that you can drink out of, just a top that screws on, so only way to drink out is taking lid completely off. So not really designed to drink out of.

Yes. The silver top of the mug is actually the lid. It screws on, but you do have to unscrew the lid to take a sip.

Not the spout itself. Of course you twist the top to close or open the bottle.

The lid doesn't flip back so you can drink easily with one hand and close the lid with your index finger. I like to put my index finger under the lid while opening so that it doesn't flip open to a mild lock position - this makes it a little easier to flip back and close with one finger. Gave one to my mother who makes a cup of coffee and sips some all day and it's always hot. I tried putting cold soda in it and you don't need to add ice as it stays cold and the seal is good enough to lock the fizz in too.

The flip open top is not but if you unscrew the lid you can easily add ice. It's about two inches in diameter.
