Sleek, sturdy, and beautiful!

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2017

This is my first glass water bottle, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Of all the ones I looked at, I really liked that this one has a solid silicone sleeve for grip and to protect the glass when setting it down. The only downside to the silicone sleeve is that dust sticks to it pretty easily, but it's also very easy to wipe down, so that's completely worth it for the added protection. The glass itself is 2 mm thick, which is thicker than I was expecting! The mouth is very smooth and is the perfect width to drink from...larger than a disposable plastic water bottle, but smaller than a gatorade bottle. The cap is smooth bamboo on the outside and white plastic on the inside. It's such a unique look! The only thing I wish this bottle had is some type of strap to hold it, but I remedied that with a bottle band (which is probably better than a strap attached to the cap, anyway). I'm very happy with this water bottle, and I don't regret switching to glass at all!

CAP FALLS APART.

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2017

I WANTED TO LOVE THIS WATER BOTTLE. I was soooooo very happy with it and loved how beautiful it looked. I am very upset because I have only had it for a week and the bamboo cap separated from the plastic insert. This is a $30 water bottle that I was hoping would be an investment. I wanted to purchase a product that would last and not end up being a "throw away product" like so much of what is available to buy these days. It still works but I am going to seek a refund. I am not happy, this seems like a poor design flaw, how could the glue come apart in a week? I hand washed it as directed so I am upset that it still fell apart. Maybe they will change how they design the cap and then it will be worth the money in the future. For now I wouldn't purchase again and I am happy I bought my mom a swell bottle instead of this one.

Beautiful, but unstable

I like this bottle, the color, the nice grip, the wooden lid, but it is tall and skinny and falls over easily if bumped. I took it to a yoga class once and it fell over and broke when it hit the floor, so there was glass and water everywhere, disturbing the class. I bought another one, but keep it at home.

Really love this glass water bottle!

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2017

This review is for the Soma glass water bottle.

Positives:
*The purple is a great color! Love it!
*The silicone grip is convenient, covering 3/4 of the way up the bottle, also it's great to help avoid breaks.
*The size is perfect for on-the-go, fits in purse or tote bag.
*The grip size is also great, not too large.
*I love the bamboo top.
*The glass is great~ safer than plastic, and it allows for essential oils to be mixed with your water!

Negatives:
*If you like to infuse your water with fruit or leaves, the small opening makes it difficult to remove; you have to shake the items out.
*Hand wash only.
*I'm concerned that mold will develop under the silicone, even though it seems to be there snugly. Will come back and address this IF it ever happens.

Overall, I really love this glass water bottle because I prefer glass to plastic. The size is just right, the color is my favorite, the natural bamboo top is earthy, and the glass is protected against breaks with the silicone jacket. I would definitely purchase as a gift or for myself if sold for under $10.00.

Functional But with Lots of Drawbacks

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

I've had so many problems with this bottle yet there are many things I like about it and the bottle aesthetics really sucked me in. The wooden cap is pretty but the glue is so weak and bad quality that the bamboo part came off after a week. If you're still interested in getting it just don't wash it with even remotely hot water, it will melt the glue. Then I brought it outside to use and it fell off a table and shattered to bits. I was horrified knowing I spent $30 on a water bottle just to have it for a few weeks. I reached out to customer service and they were amazing about replacing my broken bottle so if you have concerns about the quality of the bottle and still want to try it the I'd go with it because their customer service is great about any issues you might have about the bottle. The mouthpiece is comfortable to drink out of, it's nice to hold, and it holds the perfect amount of water for me. Overall, I still like this bottle but just know that it's not worth the five stars and there's lots of precautions you need to take in order to not have it break on you.

Beautiful but not functional.

I was in love with this bottle when I first got it. The size is perfect for my hands, the silicone was pretty and comfortable to hold, the look of the bottle was exactly what I wanted. Then two days after receiving it the bamboo cap came off the top of the lid, a week after I got it the lid had grown some mold in the seal that was incredibly hard to wash out, then finally last week it fell over on the table and smashed because the glass hit the edge of the table. I'm so bummed because this was exactly what I was looking for in looks, glass and size. I happily spent the $30 on it because it was what I wanted, but now that expense feels like a waste.

Great Glass Water bottle

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2017

Color: EggplantSize: 17 oz.Verified Purchase

Great glass water bottle with a lid made out of complete natural bamboo. I ordered the eggplant color and it is true to color. I was very nervous about this bottle being glass and I have kids who take my water bottle and it gets dropped or knocked off the counter. This bottle has stood up to everything my kids have done to it.
The top opening to drink out of is great size, the rubber eggplant cover has a great grip to keep the bottle from slipping out of my hands. The weight of the bottle isn't too heavy that it is a pain to carry. This bottle holds 2 cups of water, which makes it great for a quick trip or an extra water bottle when out and needing extra water. This bottle must be hand washed. The size also fits in all cup holders so it doesn't fall over or out of the holder.

Makes drinking water feel like a treat!

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

Water tastes better from a glass bottle and so far, I haven't found a glass bottle as pleasing as Soma's. The opening is smooth and comfortable to drink from, the bottle itself never gets foggy and it fares perfectly on the top shelf of my dishwasher.

Its size and its rubber sleeve make it easy to carry and take on the go. I worried that lint from around the house would get stuck to the rubber sleeve but in many months of daily usage, it has stayed pristinely white.

I generally have this thing in my hand, my bag or on the couch, so it runs no risk of falling over and breaking due to top heaviness. The only downside to this bottle is that the bamboo cap does pop off, leaving you with a white plastic cap that ruins the aesthetics of the bottle. I semi-solve this by twisting the bamboo cap back on tightly after every time it comes off, which is annoying and probably not something you should have to do with a $30 water bottle.

But for me, the pros still far outweigh the cons. I never drank water before buying this bottle. I love how it feels in my hand and how it makes drinking water feel like a treat. Hopefully, Soma will fix the cap problem soon.

Like this little bottle

Now this bottle has gone to my daughter. She has stolen it because it is purple. I love it for the fact it is glass and it has a silicone sleeve. Now the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because of this sleeve. While it is nice to protect the bottle from breaking if she was to drop it, it is impossible to remove (or at least I haven'mt been able to unless I want to destroy it). The bamboo lid I can't see holding up for a long time, but for now it has handled my daughter taking the bottle to school with her and even handled a minor drop.
So if you are looking for a glass bottle that has a silicone cover, this is a nice option.

I have put my through the wringer and it still has not broke.

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2017

I was skeptic about shatterproof glass. I have seen so many products that have advertised shatterproof glass and then it breaks shortly after I have gotten it. This bottle has not broken. It has been accidentally knocked on the ground, in the sink and on the counter and it still has not broken or cracked.

The only reason I did not give this product 5 stars, is that the bottle easily falls over when it is empty. If the base was a little wider at the bottom, then it wouldn't fall over so easy.

I love the rubber sleeve on the bottle. This makes it easier to hold the bottle without it slipping through my hands due to the condensation on the bottle.

Bonus: A donation is made for every bottle sold. How can you go wrong with that.
