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.

The vented lids come OFF in the lunch box, if you don't secure them with rubber bands! I use two rubber b ands to secure them, the lids do not snap on like you'd expect. The vents on the lids can be closed, but I don't know if they are "leak proof". I recommend laying them right side up to transport. Actually, I would recommend going to Target and buying the Rubbermaid ones!

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

No, it is a flat surface and nothing to catch the leaking. But if you tolerate a wet handy caddy i don't think it would hurt it.

Yes. I usually add a rubber band to be sure. So far,No spills. I wouldn't jostle the lunch box around though. For example, if it is a kid, I wouldn't do it

It hasn't leaked for me but truthfully I've only used it 4 or 5 times. I try not to overfill it. But I have kept it in lunch boxes and fridge in all directions and haven't had any leaks!

I haven't had a leaking problem, but decided to experiment to answer your question. I filled it and put it on its side overnight - no leaking. However, when I vigorously shook it upside down, there was some dribbling. I've been very happy with this bottle so far.

While holding it upright it does not leak. I store mine frozen standing up in a cup in the freezer and when you hold them while eating they do not leak. Never tested them laying down or inverted - didn't want to take the chance!

I put some pretty runny baby food in there. I was making my own and mixing with breastmilk too. I think squash was the most runny. Nothing I ever put in there leaked. I'd say, if whatever you put in here leaks, then nothing would hold it. It is the best container of its kind! (I say of its kind because obviously reg Tupperware can hold liquid but is too big for lunchbags)

If it does not leak it would probably be good for this limited use...it is comfortable and sturdy enough to lean on.

I primarily store unopened bottles in it; they lie flat. However, if you wanted to store an open bottle without having it leak, you can prop it up with something like a small container or can. I've done that and it works fine.

I was leak free till my daughter dropped it. It leaks if you leave it on its side now...

I wouldn't consider this leakproof for soups or dressings. They do make a cup container that is probably better for that. I already had soup and drink containers so I haven't used the Bentgo cup to say for certain though.

I have not tried it in a lunchbox, but I am pretty sure it would't leak there. I have had it in my gym bag tilted over, and it didn't leak.

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.

I've used this for a while now. It's never leaked though I use ice packs. It's a great lunch bucket.

I don't think you can put it sideways - probably would leak. Maybe Nick B can share the product he bought.
