if it were to rip somehow, the cup would function just fine without it. The sleeve is nice but not really a necessity. The top plastic part is very sturdy and unlikely to break IMO. I can just use a caning jar I already have. The BEST part though is that the lid fits on to virtually any 8 ounce canning jar!!! Yes… if your cup breaks (which is unlikely IMO) you can replace with a canning jar, easy peasy! I just love the whole concept, especially the part where I do not have to buy another cup if the part most likely to break, does in fact break. There is no spout or valve that is impossible to clean or that allows for mold growth. The top portion is BPA, Phthalates and PVC free plastic with a small hole in the inclined area. It has a silicone sleeve that prevents breakage of the body. The design is similar to what we now see in glass baby bottles. I am really loving it… the EIO Glass Cup for Kids. It is quite simply the most awesome safe sippy cup I have yet seen. Now a company has stepped to the plate to provide an answer for us picky moms… a glass cup with plastic sippy attachment, and a sleeve to prevent breakage. With out mix of stainless steel tumblers and little glass jars we made do, but I DID miss the sippy cup option! While I gave moms who wanted plastic options they needed I scoured the net for stainless steel cups and I bought up small mason jars at thrift stores for my own kids. which frankly can have other issue besides BPA. Yes we had safer cups but they were made of plastic. Still for many moms, myself included, there was still something missing. Our demand for better products was so loud that MANY companies reformulated their products to offer safer cups and many new companies popped up to fill this need as well. Most of us were used to giving our kids plastic sippy cups to avoid spills but when we found that BPA or Bishpenol A had the potential to harm our children we sought better options. A couple years ago I compiled big lists of BPA free kids cups.
