 insulated glases March 19, 2008
Love the glasses. They work great. Only problem is that they seem to break MUCH easier than regular glasses. But I like the insulation so I ended up buying another set. I use them to MW milk to make hot chocolate in the am
 Fragile and made in China March 14, 2008

I like these glasses but they are very fragile. I knew that before buying them because I have several others. My order arrived broken. Amazon quickly sent out a replacement set.
What I didn't know is that they are now made in China! I wish Amazon would list the country of origin. I won't be buying anymore of these. In addition to the poor workmanship of many Chinese goods, I don't trust the Chinese not to shortcut the production to save a few pennies. I can't tell if they are made out of borosilicate glass (Pyrex) or not. If they can save money using leaded glass they will do this.

These glasses are way too fragile. The glasses are delicate and really cannot stand up to normal usage.
Must Have February 24, 2008
I first saw these glasses at a relatives home. I fell in love with them immediately and used them the entire week I was there. She said she purchased hers at Bed Bath and Beyond. A set of 4 for about $25. My local stored doesn't have them, and I've not seen a set that price. I went to the website and then decided to google the name of the glasses once I found out. Then I found them on Amazon and for a slightly cheaper price. I bought two of the 12oz and 9oz.
They feel very fragile when first taking them out of the box and then you wonder when you read the warning about not using metal spoons in them and being careful when using ice. But really, I've had them for about two or three weeks now and use them several times a day. It's fine with normal use and probably not fine if you like to slam your ice in or something.
I've read in the reviews that there was a hole in the bottom of the glass and water will get caught inside when you wash them. I haven't found that to be the case. I see the sealed up hole where the glass was probably blown out, but I've had no problem with water going inside.
I haven't tried the dishwasher yet because I use them so often, I just hand wash and put them back in the cabinet. The glass does get cool to the touch when cold liquid is in there and slightly warm when hot is there, but it does not sweat at all. And I found pouring my hot tea in there doesn't hurt the glass either, if you're worried about the cold from ice or the heat from the drink cracking the glass.
I'd suggest trying a set out and seeing how you like them. I used the supersaver shipping so I only paid for the glasses. You have to wait a while before it actually ships, but the process is very quick once it actually ships. Hope this helps:)
Use with Caution February 16, 2008
I loved these glasses at first but my opinion quickly changed after one of them broke. I read the reviews on Amazon cautioning you to use care as others had experienced the same thing. I realize they are delicate and you can break them by dropping ice too hard in them but the way in which this broke surprised me. Half way through the drink the liquid level started to drop. We noticed it right away and had a "what the heck?" moment. After holding up the glass and examining it we saw that at some point a quarter sized piece broke around the middle of the cup. It's so crystal clear I don't think we would have noticed the break until the glass was empty or until someone started bleeding in their throat. We were lucky in the fact that we saw the liquid drop in front of our eyes.
Anyway, the glasses are beautiful and they do keep beverages hot or cold but I wouldn't recommend them because of the danger.
