is this flat? And would it be okay used in a lunchbox, not leaking if laying sideways??

Its not perfectly flat, it has a bit of a curve to it so that it fits in your hand well. Not sure if that makes sense or not. I dont think I would try it in a luchbox. I'd be afraid it would fall over and leak. If you could somehow guarantee that it would stay upright it might be ok.

I would trust it in a lunchbox. Never had an issue with leaking. The design is great. It is slightly curved but nothing too dramatic. It would be safe to call it mostly flat.

We tend to use softer containers for those activities because they're easier to pack. But I imagine we'll use some for camping when we have carriers that the Klip Its fit well into. Odd that you mention not leaking because that's the biggest complaint people have. The label says airtight, not watertight. I have no complaints. Hosts in NZ had them and we so enjoyed Klip Its that we ordered as soon as we returned to US.

I was unsure myself, so I performed an experiment with water. The water leaked through into the 2 smaller compartments; however, due to using water, maybe a more viscous liquid would not leak? I would air on the side of caution, and not place liquid in the container unless you are able to keep it flat all day.

I have had two for years with no leaking, but they are not used on a regular basis. I did always store them flat. Perhaps they don't make them as well anymore?

Yes! I take my lunch in one of these every day and put it at the bottom of my backpack. I don't baby my backpack when going to and from work so it moves around a lot and I have yet to get a leak from these at all.

yes, its flat on the bottom, best thing i can find to hold random junk, plus holds lots of fast food cups at once.

Yes you can store on side. If it leaks there is something wrong with the product.

The seal is easy to clean (probably won't harbor bacteria if you clean it) but it isn't that strong. It bothers me that if I put anything with even a slight amount of liquid in it, I can't be sure that it won't leak when carrying the container to work for my lunch.

It is not leak proof. I don't believe it is intended to store fluids, but it is great for other foods.

It is flexible, but it is also thick. I would think if you bent it too much you might pop the seam and have gel leaking into your lunch.

My (10 year old) daughter regularly uses these in her lunch for soups, salad dressing, 'dips' and yogurt. Once I showed her how to 'burp' the lid, she has not had any problem with leaking. I hope this helps. We love these containers.

Mine has never leaked from where the lid and jar form a seal. However, it would be easily spilled in a lunch bag because of the holes for drinking and air flow.

I had bought this as a cooler for putting in cold items and yes, to put ice in as well. It has leaked since day 1 and I need to exchange it. But I wasn't sure if there would be an issue because the manufacturer may be treating it as a lunch type box. So, I've had leaks even well below the zipper line.

yes, I lay mine on its side in my lunchbox every day. does not leak. but, 2 or 3 of the lids have cracked, possibly due to over tightening, I am not sure of that though. the holder is very nice and works well in door. good luck!

I have five of these containers and have found that a couple will leak when on their side. It doesn't matter how much I tighten the lid, they will leak. It's not a serious problem for me as I can leave them upright.

Yes, it would be just like Tupperware except you wouldn't want to lay it on it's side as it might leak.

Not flat. You could set it on its side, or put it in the bottom wide drawer.
