Wow, this is a really good idea. I love this thing, and it is not just for the luxury crowd. This nicely designed device is the "Water Bobble." We first discussed it here on Luxist. It is a reusable plastic water bottle that filters water. If you are anything like me you drink a lot of water out of bottles. If you do, then you have two options, buy loads of water bottles and use them once, or reuse bottles again and again until they get... well funky. The Water Bobble can be reused about 300 times, and includes a built-in carbon filter. The same type of filter that something like a Brita water filter uses. Only here it is easier to use (and much better looking).

The Bobble is made from recycled plastic actually, and has a nice smooth ergonomic shape that fits in your hand. The makers of this product did a lot to make it look pretty. The top is like a sports bottle that pulls open, and there is a plastic lid. Really good modern design. The point of the thing is to reduce the environmental impact of water plastic bottle (a real issue) and to make drinking filtered watch much easier. It can also save you a good amount of money. The Water Bobble comes in a bunch of colors (the bottle is always clear plastic, but the filter and cap colors change). In addition to the red tone, other colors include black, green, blue, orange, yellow, and magenta. Price is just $9.95 for this little piece of genius. You can order them online via the link above.

I was excited when I heard about these so when Ii saw them in a store today, I bought one. The plastic bottle isn't any different from a disposable plastic bottle and the filter isn't very effective at making water taste better. You also have to use your teeth to pull the cap out while drinking or it will close up and restrict water flow. The seems on the cap (where the two halves are molded together) are a little sharp also. Version 2.0 could be great with a more advanced filter design and more time spent on design and quality control.
