This product is okay for the price.

I ordered the 32 oz bottle bc I try to keep my water intake up throughout the day, and really wanted to love this product and had already planned on which other colors I wanted to order if I liked the first bottle. However, I won't be ordering any more. I like the design as far as the color and the ability to keep things cold for a long time, but the lid makes it both inconvenient to drink from, and inconvenient to carry. Honestly, my water intake has decreased since I purchased this item, bc sometimes it is just too much of a hassle to mess with just to take a swallow or two. The color is amazing. The cup keeps things cold for a very long time. I put about 5 ice cubes in it and filled it up with water, and although the ice was melted when I was still drinking from it over 24 hours later, the water was still cold. BUT, the lid SUCKS. if you don't make sure the flip closure lays down flat when you open it, it closes on you before you tilt it enough to get a drink. But the problem with that is, if your holding the cup by the handle on the lid, there is not enough room to lay the closure flat (and I have skinny fingers). Which is annoying if you are walking and you have to have hold the bottle in your arm so that you can open it and take a drink, and then do it again to close it. Also, to close the flip lid fully, (clicking it into place), I have to put a lot of pressure on it, so I usually cannot hold it by the handle to do this, and honestly need to put so much pressure that it is even hard to do if I am just cradling the bottle in my arm. I pretty much need to be able to set it down, and push the flip lid pretty hard. Why am I not just using the silver screw top, you might ask? Tried that, and it leaked everywhere. , not to mention, the way it's attached is very annoying...instead of just being able to take it off and hold it, it is loosely attached to the cup rim, so loose that it moves around and you have to hold it in place while you drink, which means you need two hands to drink out of the bottle if you're using that lid, because the bottle is already almost too wide to hold with one hand regularly. (I have to hold around the bottom of the lid to get a drink without using two hands with the flip top lid). So the bottle works great if you are just storing it with water, or just sitting in one place all day. But it's not a good fit my use, which is to keep it on me at all times to stay hydrated while constantly on the go.
