CamelBak Quick Chill Handheld Black Review

I like the idea of a case/holder big enough for my iPhone but this design doesn't work. The shape of the bottle is strange and the holder is not strong enough to hold the bottle. In just a few hours of normal activity, my bottle fell out three times. Due to the unusual shape, the bottle can tip over even on a flat surface.
