Patent Pending Premium Inverted Umbrella W/Cup Holder Handle- Automatic Close, Creative New Reversible Windproof Design, Heavy-Duty Fiberglass Frame, Ideal for Multi-Tasking & Cars

Ordered this umbrella as a gift for my girlfriend hoping that she'd like the cup holder idea. I like to test gifts before I give it to someone, to make sure I'm not giving them junk, and this umbrella passes the test!The double layer feels very sturdy and I know she'll love the pink color! My favorite part is the auto close button, which makes it very easy to close if your hands are occupied as you're getting into a car or walking into a building. And it closes upwards, so no water gets on you. The cup holder handle is definitely an added bonus! I tried a cup I typically get from my favorite coffee shop and it fits! I tried a can and it doesn't fit on its own, but when I used a coozy it actually worked!If you're looking for an umbrella, and want something different from your typical umbrella, I'd recommend this. My only complaint is that it's not very portable, but I don't think they are going for portability, so I can't knock them too much.Update: I am updating my review to five stars because my girlfriend has now had the chance to use it several times and loves it! She loves how sturdy the canopy is in the wind, and really likes the pink color. She's also even used the cup holder a few times while walking in the rain and on her phone. She likes it so much, she is considering buying more as gifts for her friends.

I have been using this umbrella for about a year and love how sturdy and convenient it is! The fabric and handle are very durable and can withstand Hawaii's strong rain and wind gusts, unlike my previous umbrellas. The cup holder is super convenient and frees up a hand to walk your dog or use your phone. It fits Starbuck's sized cups perfectly! The cup holder also duals as an easy way to hang the umbrella when not in use. I keep mine hanging on the front door for easy access. The inverted feature and quick release button make getting into and out of your car a breeze, without having to get wet. When inverted after use, the wet side stays contained, so you don't have to worry about setting a soaking wet umbrella down in your car or home after use. This is the best umbrella I have ever owned and am extremely satisfied with this product!

"Pros: reasonably lightweight; dries readily; holds up to moderately gusty wind; stands without support when folded; easy to open and close; cup holder doubles as teether (if you happen to have a baby in tow). Cons: cup holder feature is hard to use (adjustability or something with more friction inside the ring would help, I suspect, like a rubber gasket); umbrella seems less sturdy than one might wish; somewhat bulky for public transport/perching in shopping carts/etc. I can't speak to its longevity yet, or to how it performs in strong wind, but overall I'm happy with it. Being able to stand it up on its own to dry is especially handy."

Just what I needed! I've been searching for an invertable umbrella that is good quality without being too expensive, and this one does exactly that. It feels sturdy and durable and is definitely an upgrade from my cheap drugstore umbrellas. I also love that it has a splash of color on the inside and that it has a holder for your drink. It's the perfect combo of being functional and esthetic at the same time!

It's good, just not what I expected. The color is beautiful, it's really sturdy, but the cupholder is simply a novelty thing. There are cups fit in it, definitely, they just have to be the right size and shape.

This umbrella is really useful for someone who lives in a city where you do a lot of walking. The cup holder is at the right angle where your cup doesn't get in the way of holding the umbrella and I can see how somebody holding their coffee and maybe their car keys at the same time wouldn't have to fumble around to hold everything.The most useful part of the inverted design is that it makes it really easy to get into your car after walking through the rain since it closes outward rather than inward where your door would get in the way. The design also makes it handy for setting down on the ground so the water can drip down. All around a solid umbrella.

I loved it when it arrived. The cup holder was sturdy, I tested it on a few of my travel mugs of different sizes and they all fit. Unfortunately, 4 days later when it was raining and I actually needed it...it wouldn’t stay open! It kept closing on its own. The first two times I thought I may have bumped the retraction button, but that wasn’t the case. I made sure to keep clear, and it tried to pop closed another 6 or 7 times over the 2 block walk to work. Returning, in hopes that I simply have an odd lemon!

It is a cute gift to give a coffee lover but that’s about it. Umbrella has to be pushed open. It doesn’t have a button to press so it’s difficult to open and close if you have a coffee. Wasn’t worth the money.
