memobottleORIGINAL

Picked this up so that I would be able to have it fit neatly inside my leather briefcase, without causing the sides to bow out (like many round bottles do).Love the aesthetic and the 450ml is a great size to keep your whistle wet

My daughter loves her Memobottle. She's in boarding school and needs to carry her laptop from one building to another. Due to the specific form, the bottle is easily carried together with her Ipad in one hand while the other hand remains free. So yes, good envention. Ridiculously expensive though.. The second lid costs exra of course, 9,99 GBP.

Bought this as it is slim, so it will not be as bulky in my backpack. Steel cap is a nice touch too - makes it feel more premium.

Great bottle, does get scratched when in bag which is annoying! But very fun!

Bought as a gift so can't comment on how leak proof or sturdy it is for regular use. All I can say is looking at it, it seems I paid a lot of money for a novelty design shape. I totally get how a flat bottle may be useful in backpacks or briefcases for work so there's definitely a gap in the market, but I can't help but feel it's priced at gimmick value more than because of the product quality.

If you fill it with prosecco, it will expand. Hard to hide.

No matter which way you look at, yes you are paying £32 for a plastic water bottle. That’s it plain and simple. However what you get for all that money is almost worth it - just not quite.The bottle itself seems very sturdy and the design is certainly eye catching as well as functional. It fits in any bag and the amount of comments I have had on it, usually saying it looks like I’m swigging from a hip flask! Worth it for that reaction alone. Also came in a very fancy cardboard box, so would make a great present too.Unfortunately now the bad points. Firstly, it doesn’t really hold much water due to the design so don’t expect it to last more than about 3 swigs (depending on your water intake) It’s suitable more if you’re just sitting at your desk or going on a short walk. Either way you’ll need several refills to get through the day. Secondly, the price is astonishing for what it is. Yes I am helping the environment and will buy less water bottles, but the price isn’t a great incentive for people to take this cause up and it still is just a plastic bottle at the end of the day. Lastly and more of a gripe, is that mine (like many other reviewers) came scuffed/scraped. I don’t know how if it is brand new but obviously very little care was taken in packing these. So for those reasons alone it loses two stars, but as a product I would really give it 4/5. But this review is based on my entire experience so I have to be honest.I would like to point out that yes this bottle is very ‘designer’ and is worth buying. However the price is off putting and receiving a damaged bottle at that cost is a little frustrating but not enough to return it.UPDATE:After a week of use the chrome lid 'covering' has come apart from the inside of the lid (see pic). It really is a disappointment as this shows just how cheap and badly made this is afterall. Such a shame as would have been good if it had at least lasted longer than a week!Second Update Oct 18: now the bottle has developed a bad leak, meaning it is utterly worthless. Disgraceful product!

I bought this to try and be greener. Then realised I was just being a slave to marketing. This is an awkward shape and do not think it will last long and have taken it out of my laptop bag just in case it cracks and leaks. This is definately not worth the money and don't waste yours. I bought a large Stanly hip flask, which is much better, but less capacity. Handy to keep in your bag, if you are stuck and need a drink of water.
