I haven't had that experience with Elite yet, but I crushed one beyond repair when I landed on my back in a MTB crash. (it was in my backpack)

One other issue that some Elite owners have reported is that (maybe just for their white bottle version for some reason) the mouthpiece will not stay completely open. It falls half-closed while attempting to drink. I haven't experienced this with my Elite bottles, but I have experienced it with other cheaper bottles and can confirm it's the most frustrating bottle UX I've ever had. I'd almost rather have it leak and let me get some water out of it than having to fight to get a mouthpiece to remain open while drinking!
