In search of the perfect travel mug

I want to know!

I love coffee and tea, and I have never, ever found a travel mug that meets all my specifications:

1. Seals completely.
2. Fits in a cupholder - not too wide, and not too narrow/tall that it flops around.
3. Comes COMPLETELY apart to wash - this means that if the top has a slidey bit, the pieces need to detach so each can be washed thoroughly.
4. A handle is nice but not mandatory.
5. Will not break if I drop it.
So. Anyone have one that fits the bill?

I like the Starbucks ones, but I'm not sure they fit requirement #3 and the big ones are a little too tall for some smaller microwaves if reheating coffee or tea.

I had a Redskins mug a couple years ago that i think met all your criteria. the top was pressure-sealed - you had to press down on a lip to move the pieces apart enough to get liquid out, and they snapped apart to wash. i have NO idea where it came from, tho. I'll have to see if i can find it this weekend.

This one totally fits the bill EXCEPT that the top parts don't come *completely* apart. Honestly, I think you can either have a lid that comes apart completely or a liquid-tight seal - not both. But other than that, I love this one. I left it at home accidentally one time (coffee poured roughly 7:45am) and when my roommate brought it to me at school my bevvie was still steaming hot (at approximately 12:30pm). And, I've thrown it in my backpack, dropped it, etc. It's great (even if it is "Lance Armstrong").
