 Not as good as others I've used September 9, 2008

A few years ago I picked up a couple Insulated bottle carriers in a grocery store for about $5 each. I fell in love with them quickly--they keep your bottled water cool in the summer and prevent freezing in the winter. The two I got in the grocery store also have two methods for carrying--a string you can wrap around your wrist, and a clip. I wish I had gotten more of these or knew who manufactured them. I wanted a couple more, and tried this product.
This bottle carrier--the one I'm reviewing on this page--simply isn't as good. It does keep beverages cool and keep them from freezing, but there is only a clip (no carrying string), and it is very difficult to insert a bottle of water then be able to "stand up" the bottle on a table. If you try to stand it up, it falls over easily. I don't have this problem with the carriers I got in the grocery store because they have a little "ridge" sewn around the bottom of the carrier which stabalizes the bottle when you stand it up.
In fact, this product actually makes it much more difficult to stand the bottle up because there is a seam that runs exactly down the center of the bottom, creating an uneven platform. I even purchased a couple heavy 2" or so washers and inserted them into the bottom, but this didn't help them stand up much.
So, compared to the two excellent bottle carriers I found in the grocery store a few years ago, this product just doesn't compare: it's more expensive, doesn't have a carry string, and doesn't stand up on a table easily without falling over.

This product is actually quite small. Even though is says mini, I still expected it to be a little bit bigger. Also, it will not stand up with a drink bottle in it. The seams on the bottom make it too unstable to stand alone.
