The Kor One "Hydration Vessel" has a pretentious name, but it''s a beautifully designed product. Easy to carry. Easy to open. Easy to fill. Big enough for ice cubes. Surprisingly heavy duty so it will last. [....]
The Kor One Hydration Vessel is a rugged water bottle. The mouth opening is the perfect size for plopping in ice cubes and drinking out of. The mouth piece has rounded edges, so it feels great to take a drink out of it. The hinged cap stays in place, and it does not leak.

Note: this is from review I wrote in October. All of it remains true. Updates at the bottom
I got mine in the mail today and I like it quite a bit more than I thought I would... For starters, the packaging and trimmings are very classy. I know that doesn''t matter in the long run, but for me it helps with first impressions. Next off the build quality is really incredible. The base has a low profile rubber ring around it that helps with traction when setting it down. The button on the front to open the lid is large enough and the actual clasp holding it closed is really beefy actually it''s connected to an armature that actuates two hooks one on each side of the bottle. These, in turn, are held in place by TWO large leaf springs that really feel like they''re here to last.
What don''t I like? Well I hate leaving reviews where I don''t trash at least ONE thing about a product but I can''t bring myself to do it. OH YAand the mouth is big enough to put in the ice cubes from my ice maker! See? I actually put a positive comment in the trash section. Ouch.
That said, I''m not a paid shill and I --OH there''s something I don''t like. I think most of their website is horrible. Too much flash and "Personal Sustainable Hydration" is the most pompous tripe I''ve ever heard.
That said, I think everyone should run out and buy one of these, unless you want to die from only having non sustainable hydration! (blech)

December ''08 updates:
Nothing really much to add... It is easy to keep clean. It will take every ice cube I''ve found with no problem. It doesn''t hold flavors or smells at all after you''ve given it a rinse. The rubber gasket that presses on the mouth from the lid is positively bizarre it BARELY touches the mouth, yet I''ve never had a leak that wasn''t due to not closing it all the way and even then only once.
It still really looks as good as the day I bought it which is pretty impressive as most things that go into my bag (a Maxpedition Versapack) end up scratched within seconds. The materials here really are nice.
I''m buying 4 as gifts this year, so let that speak for itself.

My husband bought one of these bottles for me for my birthday because I was absolutely obsessed with having one. Used it daily at work and the gym for 3 weeks. Placed it in the top shelf of my dishwasher and it was never the same again. The top will not seal:( It doesn''t look and now it leaks. So I thought, I guess that was just my fault. I bought a second bottle for me from the beyond yoga charity sale because I loved the message on it. Again, used it for weeks with no problems, then all of a sudden, the top stopped latching. I don not understand when you pay over 36 dollars for a bottle and after a few weeks leaks. I really really really wanted to love this bottle, but I guess I will have to go back to my Nalgene one.

While this water bottle is a pleasure to use, it is simply not as durable as my $10 nalgene and here is why.
Both of them are made from the same Eastman Triton plastic, but the nalgenes have screw on lids on the top. The Kor uses an actual metal joint to flip the lid back, which leaves it very vulnerable.
I dropped it accidently from my desk to the tile floor while trying to shove it into my backpack, and a crack formed right near the hinge. This was the first time it was dropped and the bottle was just two weeks old.
I''m sorry, but I didn''t spend $30 for something that needs to be treated like fine china. If you plan on carrying around this alot and expect it to accidently be dropped, I strongly don''t recommend it.
