Hi,
I posted a review on 8/18/10 and it received a reply from you representative. Not to be obnoxious but the point in buying your great bottle is to avoid the potential negative exposure from plastics. If I were to use a straw in the bottle, I'm kind of defeating the point of using glass only to get my plastic exposure from the straw (glass straws? there's an idea!). The idea of a sport top still has plastic exposure but it is not sitting in my beverage leaching chemicals into the liquid. With so many requests, why have you not come out with a sport top?

A larger size is a great idea too; I find it way to small. Another idea would be some type of travel handle attachement.

Keep up the good work; I know you guys will get it one day.

I love these bottles but constantly having to remove and replace the cap to avoid spills at my desk or try to take a sip in my car is bothersome. Answers to earlier posts say a drinking cap was on the way by the end of December 2010. Any news on when these may be available? I have 2 of the 22oz and am in the market for the 16oz but am waiting for the drinking cap so I can order bottles and caps in one order. This is a great product and a drinking/sport type cap would make it spectacular. (Posted on 2/5/11)

I have the 9oz, 16oz. and 22oz bottles and I am purchasing these bottles for Christmas gifts this year! Cleanliness at its best! No odor and bacteria free.
The shape of the bottle is comfortable to hold. The appearence is appealing as well as sophisticated.

Please design a top with an incorporated solid plastic straw device which retracts into the cap for santitation purposes. (Posted on 11/6/10)

I LOVE my LifeFactory glass water bottle. It goes absolutely everywhere with me, I never leave home with out it and I use if to drink everything. I've never grown so attached to a water bottle, but this one is different. It's got great personality, everything tastes perfect out of it, it's so easy to clean and rinse, it's got that great handle on the top that makes carrying it comfortable and effortless. You can always find me with mine! Love, love, love it! You guys are geniuses, thanks so much for creating such a wonderful thing!

I've had other water bottles before, but LifeFactory truly beats the other bottles due to its practicality and great sleeve design. Not only can I put cold beverages ie water, but also hot beverages such as coffee or tea- an item that I can use more frequently, getting more bang for my buck. The only downfall, like others mentioned is the lack of an optional sport bottle cover during work-outs; however simply purchasing a straw is a quick fix. (Posted on 9/13/10)

I have the 22oz bottle. Love it! But use it so much, i find myself re-filling it up twice an hour....Any plans for a 27 oz. or even 30 oz. version?? (Posted on 9/7/10)

I have two of these bottles as I prefer drinking out of glass. The silicone sleeve makes for slip proof handling and feels great on the hand. I like the wider opening but would like to see an optional cover with a sport bottle like device to use when driving (easier to drink from than an open top) or working near my computer to prevent spills if bottle is tipped. I would purchase additional covers if this option was available. Overall I love the product and the fact that it is environment friendly. (Posted on 8/28/10)

The only down fall of this produt is that it is sometimes difficult to drink out of and not spill. Case in point like during exercise on a treadmill. I would love to see some type of attachement that makes the mouth of the jar smaller.

LIFEFACTORY RESPONDS: A few customer have success with long straws, which help prevent spills while exercising or driving. We've also discovered that the Guyot Designs Splash Guard works to cut down the drips and will be offering them on our website soon. (Posted on 8/18/10)

I have not tried this bottle yet, but am very interested. Do you have a smaller size or would you consider one - maybe a 16 oz?

LIFEFACTORY RESPONSE: Hi! A 16 oz bottle will be available at the end of October. The smaller size bottle will be great to take on the go, but the current 22oz bottles is great to leave on your desk at work or home. (Posted on 8/12/10)

I was given one of your beverage bottles for my birthday and really love it. One question---do you have any plans to modify the lid of the bottle. If you put a "flip lid" on it would make it much easier to drink from and would really improve its functionality.

LIFEFACTORY RESPONDS: Thanks, Julie! We are developing a "drinking cap" to come out at the end of this year. Great minds :) (Posted on 7/29/10)
