Follow up to is it leak proof. I going to be putting it sideways in a carry bag. Is the cap secure enough to stop from leaking all over in my bag?

If the cap clicks tight you should be fine. I have tipped my new bottle over and not had a problem. However, if there is something else in your bag that might "uncatch" the lid, or it gets loose through the years, it will obviously spill. It's not going to just open by the shear force of the water itself - something would really have to snag it. All that being said, I did have my old one come open and everything in my bag got wet - but it might have been my fault in not snapping the lid shut tightly. Hope that is helpful. I really like this bottle and think it might be worth the try. If the cap clicks tight you should be fine. I have tipped my new bottle over and not had a problem.

If cap screwed on tightly & flip top secured it will hold. I would make sure everything is secure by turning it sideways for a second before inserting it into carrying bag. I've dropped them before without spillage.

So far, I have had no issues with it leaking. Like you, the bottle is sideways and getting moved around a lot in my backpack when I take it to work.

I would be careful it's hit or miss and if something if something in the bag rubs the cover the wrong way it will open

No it is not. You will have a wet bag guaranteed. A better option is the Nalgene OTF bottle. It costs a bit more but won't leak. Just remember to take out the little rubber stopper and wash it every once in a while. It tends to mold.

This is a great water bottle. Prolly not good for just throwing it in a bag.The lid could pop open.

No problems here. The lid, if shut fully, does not leak on the one I bought.

From my experice it's pretty air, tight. It's got like a rubber piece that keeps it sealed tight or from popping open. I don't think I would throw it upside down in my backpack, but it's pretty leak proof I think.

as long as it's not in your backpack or somewhere where it could get squeezed by accident. It's not really 100% leak proof, but if you put it down sideways nothing will come out.

Yes it is leak proof if the thermos is not filled beyond the maximum beverage line indicated inside the thermos. Should you fill it past this point, liquid will seep into the cap when sealing closed, and that excess liquid will leak out when tipped. Also, as another reviewer pointed out, the gasket must be dry, intact and in it's correct position. If these 2 conditions are met, and the cap is tightened thoroughly, you will not experience leakage.

No leaks. I've dropped it numerous times, laid it down on my car seat, put it in my briefcase upside down.....all without leaks. I may be lucky, but.....it's a good bottle.

The gasket/lid would not leak. The small 'snap in place' cover over the drinking 'hole' could leak. It could possibly pop open and leak a lot. I have two of these and love them- freeze and use them every day. If you plan on holding it upside down over your laptop you might want to consider another.

Yes it is perfectly leak proof. You don't have to worry about its pose in your bag.

We haven't had any problems with leaking if the lid is on right. And if you are sure that the rubber little sip lid is closed all the way down. But, we don't usually put it in a bag because some of the reviews said theirs leaked all over. It has been upside down quite a few times though and never leaked. but for some reason this particular bottle, and only this particular pink one (we have a few), has an issue with the lid going on straight. I have to check it every time we use it to make sure it's on right and it often times takes 2 times of screwing it on before its on right. But that's not a big ideal. Overall a good bottle.

It is not designed to be sealed shut - it is designed to be installed for use. If you wish to seal the bottle you should keep the original bottle cap and reuse it. Since our company's philosophy is to reduce, reuse, and recycle, that would be in keeping with our philosophy :-) (it also keeps your costs down). Also, the bottle will not leak if upright - unless there's a hole in the bottle. Water only flows only when inverted. One way to seal it is to use a plastic lunch bag and two rubberbands. Put the bag over the entire funnel, put one rubber band tightly near the wide end, and then tightly put the second rubber band on the bottle, under the funnel. Little, if any, water will leak out (this was tested with the bottle on it's side for over an hour).

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.

It is leak proof. Even by leaving it unlocked it won't leak. I still lock out every time I throw it inside my bagpack, just in case!

No problems at all with leakage. I have it thrown in my bag in transit or if I'm not using for a while, so it's not always flat and never leaked. I've bought three (3) sets since the first set worked well and continue to work well. And I'll be buying more in future.

I've never had a problem with it leaking. I throw it in a bag for the range and never think about it until I need a drink.

The cap on my jug screws on rather easily and has a pretty tight seal on it (mainly thanks to a little rubber washer in the cap itself). I'm not sure if I just got lucky with mine, but I've had no issues with the cap coming loose or leaking after 2+ months of daily use and I take the jug with me practically everywhere. The only thing is that the washer occasionally pops out during use, but it usually only happens when I forget to let both it and the cap fully dry after I clean them. And it's easily fixed by pushing it back into the cap and flattening it with your finger.

The lid is screwed on, not snapped on. My wife and I use it for salad dressings in our lunch bags. It doesn't leak when tipped over in a lunch bag. (even vinaigrette or Italian dressings)

Yes it is, if closed and sealed correctly it will not leak. I have mixed tea and shaken it and have had it laying down inside my travel bag and does not spill one bit.

I haven't had a leaking problem, but decided to experiment to answer your question. I filled it and put it on its side overnight - no leaking. However, when I vigorously shook it upside down, there was some dribbling. I've been very happy with this bottle so far.
