Nice and cute little glass with silicone glove it just doesn't stay cold long enough without ice and then it sweats so I prefer stainless steel tumblers but cute little glass

I really like this cup. Got it late last year and I keep it on my nightstand (on a coaster because of there's ice in it, there's a bit of sweat) to have water close by (and occasionally things like lemonade if we're having snuggle in bed night).

It washes up easily, I like that it's glass rather than plastic (I probably should have switched out the straw for metal), and it's been very sturdy. It doesn't get roughed up too much, but has been knocked over a number of times. Saying that, the lid seals enough to keep it secure and minimize water spills.

My ONLY issue and why I am currently looking for a new one is I left it on the bathroom sink and my Husky couldn't resist it. He likes taking cups and.. well.. eating them (we find him running around with Starbucks paper cups especially). I found the cup on the floor, unbroken (thankfully), I just have no idea where he hid the lid/straw. So it survived a dog taking it off the sink.

I would definitely recommend.

So far I am enjoying my drinking glass, the only issue is, it is NOT sweat proof. I put ice into the glass cup along with liquid, and the bottom seems to be always wet. So just a FYI, the sleeve doesn't protect it from moisture, it only protects the glass.

It's a great desk cup!

- Sturdy to hold and pick-up.
- Quiet and stable to set down.
- It's not like a plastic tumbler in any way.
- The glass is crystalline-like and easy to clean.
- The silicon sleeve feels nice and secure; as if it likes little hand-hugs while washing, or using.
- It's easy to transport between my working area and the kitchen to get a refill.
- The lid lifts off with minimal effort, but sits nice and snug otherwise.

Fantastic style. Really. It's like IKEA fell in love with Crate and Barrel and their kid grew up, went to visit friends in Okinawa and ducked into a café for a moment to get out of the rain since their glasses were all wet with rain drops and they accidentally bumped into in a Kickstarter project that used Helvetica instead of Avenir for all their marketing, and then they eventually fell in love and they had a kid, but not right away. That kid would be this cup. And this cup deserves to be hand-washed at least twice a week, rather than undramatically abused in a dishwasher next to its elder kitchen cupboard residents adorned with crusty left-over oatmeal chunks and dehydrated salad dressing swirls.

Some say the silicon gasket on the lid gets mildewy or moldy, but I'm just not sure how that's possible if you remove it and clean it regularly like a responsible adult. Trying not to throw around words like "lazy" or "not good with details", but I'm just not seeing how this would get grody. It's not the cup's fault. Just sayin'.

The silicon gasket does come off from the neat wooden (bamboo) lid with a little thinking about how it's made and lightly prying it from the impeccably machined groves it fits into with the edge of a spoon or some other thin and narrow yet blunt object so as to not damage the gasket, and then contorting and pushing the straw port a bit back through its own hole to get it released.

The seal even at the straw port is great, though not totally leak-proof at the straw port because of the straw, you know, but the circumference seal is nice for typical cup usages. I haven't knocked the cup over yet because of computers and papers on my desk so"¦ maybe the silicon gasket seal is physics-proof and stays in place regardless of the effects of gravity, hydrodynamics and inertia? Probably best to not swing your arms or other objects around when near a glass of water (or whatever) and electronics and other hydro-sensitive materials.

The rounded edge of the glass feels nice when you wanna go strawless; which might be more often than you think since the straw"”being some sort of cheap and nicely sized plastic tube (and consequently the only thing that bugs me about this product)"”is really the only thing capable of leaving that plasticky chemical smell we're all trying to get away from, hence looking at glass drinking containers here in the Bezos' garage sale.

I do wish the straw was on par with the rest of everything else about this cup.

Just get the cup. It's cool. Works great. It's not designed to bounce so don't drop it. If you do, though, because accidents and pets and kids happen, don't blame-shift on the cup or the people that made the cup, or the pets, or the kids"”unless they did it on purpose in which case trade them in for house plants if you lack self-control with "accidents".

It is a very simply item the parts are all well made, but I would treat it as a normal cup as the cap doesn't screw in. It's just a cap held in place by silicone so errant bumps wont make it spill but if it tips over it probably will. It does suffer from condensation as it is not insulated and the silicone grip doesn't help much with that or with holding it either. For my needs it's perfect just needed a simple cup with a top that I could take off easily when I wanted and a wide top to clean easily, this fits perfectly.
