Would you feel comfortable throwing this in a purse? Is the locking mechanism one that wouldn't accidentally open hitting something in a bag?

The button is spring loaded and could leak in a purse if not kept up right.

I throw it in my big purse with my iPad, papers, etc. every day. If you've taken a sip, just wipe off the top as a small amount will usually remain in the top part (you'll see what I mean when you use it). The top screws on and you have to push a button on the back of the top when you want to take a sip, so I can't imagine what could hit it hard enough to push the button or unscrew the top. I do usually keep it standing up, but I wouldn't be afraid if it fell over. Enjoy!

The locking mechanism shouldn't open. He said he wouldn't put it on it's side or upside down in the purse just in case. But standing up, no problem.

I don't think it is a good idea to put a thermos in your purse, generally. But if you did, the way the mechanism works on this thermos it would be quite hard for it to accidentally open. Still. I'm not putting it in my purse.

I've done it for brief periods, but it is not exactly designed for that. If you want to do that, I suggest the Muji thermos http://www.muji.us/store/kitchen/to-go/thermal-stainless-portable-mug-450ml-handle.html. This one is bullet proof for tossing your bag. The Stanley is my favorite for when I have a cup holder though.

Yes you can lock the bag shut, the two zipper meet together and have a hole that would fit a substantial lock to keep your bag locked

I would say no. But I prefer it cold, that is my preference. Some people I know carry it in their purse for convenience and they have no problems with it.

It flips back easily and will stay that way if you lay it on the cover. I have mine open a lot so then it will only stay closed all the way if you lay it on the cover closed. It does stay closed inside my purse and that is where I was worried about it being scratched. I have never dropped it but could probably land open or closed. No there isn't a latch.

There must be a way to lock it, I don't really remember cuz this was a birthday gift for my friend. But what I feel is this box is quite heavy though it's very tiny! So I won't choose it to contain pills in my purse, cuz I have already carrying lot of stuffs in my bag. Just a advise! Hope it's useful for u! Thank you for asking me!

It doesn't have a lock, nor would you want one, as the top lifts up to put in envelopes. We were able to put it in the safe at the venue mid reception. If you give me your email, I'll email you a picture of the gift table....everyone was commenting on it.

Yes it can be locked. On the inside of the handle is a hasp that will let you padlock the case. Because it is in the middle of the case it does a fair job of securing the case. It would secure the case against small children, but not a determined adult. It is plastic after all is said and done. To sum up, It would keep an honest person honest, but not a thief.

We have not had any accidental button push. Mom puts in in her purse and it bounces around all day. No issues.

There is not a locking mechanism, though a pretty significant amount of force is required to engage the spring. It won't open from jostling in your pocket.

I travel with it. I put it in a closeable snack bag just in case, but have never had a problem.

Hi tracey. This is Tom. We are very happy with the bag. It holds plenty and works great on top of the car. There is not a lock feature . I think the only solution in terms of security would be a hard case which would be a very different experience. This bag neatly folds away and is easy to manuveur. If u have any other wuestions i would be glad to help. Take care

I travel and have no problem with it. It is small enough to slide in the side of your purse/bag. The ones that roll up (soft silicone), I found do not work as well when you use them.

No, the one I got for my mom seems to stay closed nicely. The leather and fabric don't seem to be too rigid so, that shouldn't be an issues either.

For me it would be uncomfortable. Its kinda heavy and it probably wont stay on if you toss and turn.

I'm a guy and I have this bag...I've not gotten any comments about it looking like a purse. I think the shoulder pad and size clearly separates it from the purse category. It's far less purse like than in the photos. I also carry mine cross shoulder so it's even less like a purse and more comfortable to carry. I don't know that it can be mistaken for a purse any more than any bag that a man would carry, except for a briefcase or the large square traditional camera case, which in my opinion screams "snatch/steal me as you ride by on your bike!" My best advice is simply carry a brick in the slot next to the camera and if someone some dude says "nice purse" smack the crap out of them with the bag...the ensuing concussion should give him a good reason to think before he says anything similar in the future. Finally, since you won't be pairing it with high heels, I really think you'll be fine. :-) Of course I'm teasing you a bit, but seriously, I wondered the same thing but now think it's fine and not very purse-like in person.

I would say if it isn't packed full it could fit on your shoulder but it is snug up in your armpit, not uncomfortably but more snug than a purse would be. It's really meant more to be carried by hand or in the crook of your elbow

It doesn't latch or spring shut, but I haven't had any problems with it opening. I keep it in my purse, and I haven't noticed any items sliding inside the cover either and my purse has a lot of stuff in it. Maybe the pressure from the other items keeps it shut.
