Do you have to worry about breaking this if it is packed in a backpack? How durable are they?

Not durable...This cup is not particularly durable in terms of the coating. It was dropped on a hard surface, from a few feet up, chipping the enamel off around the lip of the cup leaving a sharp surface. I don't like to cut my lips when I am drinking my coffee so I threw it away after one maybe two uses.

Its not ceramic or glass. This is a metal cup that could probably support my weight during a stress test

These mugs will not break in a backpack. I used them with 24 third, fourth and fifth graders and they survived just fine.

They are some sort of metal-they will hold up-- they do get hot but I love mine and enjoy making coffee on weekends with the pot and drinking from the cups on deck

This would do fine in a backpack, but you'd probably need to wrap it in something (like a layer of bubblewrap) to ensure that it doesn't break. It's pretty thin!

we had it only for few days so it's not broke yet lol. just kidding. my kids are pretty rough with it but it seems very durable and well made. Unless you crash it on purpose, I don't see breaking it.

I haven't had any issues with durability- I've been using them for Body Pump and similar classes and they're still in one piece.

I would get a protective case for it. I have mine in a case logic zipper case and keep it in my backpack that goes everywhere with me. Haven't had any issues so far.

Yes it is durable. There is a slot for the nexus to sit in. But you can't have a case on the Nexus. The keyboard and Nexus clamp together. The Nexus screen is down so you don't have to worry about it breaking. When they are clamped together it wil be fine in a backpack

Has not seemed fragile to me, I have only had them about a month, a friend though had them for 2 years and no problem there. Now unlike others I do not drop mine as I do not want dents on my floor, but that is just for me.

I only keep this for a backup when I travel. I haven't needed it so far. So I can't really give you the answers you need. No breakage so far.

I have had mine for a while its been deployed with me several times and been thrown in my Ruck sack and dropped and kicked around and never had an issue. So unless you try to break it you should be ok

It seems pretty durable to me. Although I do carry it in a bookbag with a laptop sleeve as well, so it's pretty well protected. As long as you aren't using it as a weapon or a hammer, it should work pretty well for you.

Pretty durable, it's been in my school back pack for at least a month now, and it still works.

Hello, I've had mine for six month's and it still looks brand new, no damage what so ever. I use the backpack 5 days a week and love it.

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

Yes very durable I been dropping my clubs into the bag two or three time a week with the tags on them for about six months now with out any problem.

I have owned mine for about 8 months now and subject it to constant travel in my laptop backpack along with everything else. It has not failed me thus far.

They are pretty durable. You could easily store it in the hydration sleeve in a backpack. I had mine hanging from a carabiner on my fishing vest while traipsing around the High Uintas in Utah for several days. It was banging into things and getting drug through brush and trees. It even fell off my carabiner while crossing a log. I didn't realize it until I had reached my camp. I wanted it so badly that I retraced my steps and spent an hour hiking until I found it.

I had it for a couple of years and it appears to be holding up OK (no obvious links, failure of seals or cap, brittleness of materials). I only drag it with me when I need the volume so it's getting used 3-4 times a year. It's currently on loan to a trusted buddy. I am fairly careful with it because it's made of materials that could puncture it so I don't pack it next to a spork or put it on the outside of my pack in a spot where a branch could poke it.

It's not flimsy, and definitely won't slide off with normal use. Unfortunately I don't travel with this unit, so I can't really speak on how it would hold up being carried in a bag daily, but my honest opinion is that it wouldn't be a problem. Hope that helps!
