Im assuming you have to have ALL of the compartments in the bento box, in order for it to close properly and not leak and move around?

We have one and I don't think you need them all full. When it closes it seals shut its like no other bento I have , its great for not spilling into the next "compartment"

The clear plastic tray you see in the picture is one solid piece. It sits down into the pink or green case. It is divided into the compartments.

The compartments do not separate, it's a tray and it fits in there just right :) You don't have to mess around with it at all to get it to close properly.

It's a tray with all little compartment in it..yes it goes in and does not leak..

The compartments are a one piece system. You could fill one or all of them and it would not move around.

There is only a single tray that goes into the box. The single tray has 6 divided compartments. They do not come apart.

Yes, there is a small gap in the compartments. I use one of the small steel containers and it fits in the openings without spilling.

Just start from one side and work your way around the bowl until you hear a snap ..... That should tightly seal the bowl close

I have had it leak with cole slaw in it because my daughter tossed it around! If you follow the cooling directions and don't beat it up no. I've only had the one leak and I don't think it was anything to do with the bento. :-)

The containers are great for holding all kinds of liquid. There is never any concern about spillage. I use it everyday, it's a great Bento Box!

I had same problem. I thought it was a defect since space between lid and container would mean that it would not close like a tight seal. I returned this product because of this reason.

No, it must be tied to close/seal. There is no seal. You could fold it over and seal it, but it is not set up for this.

I seem to be the only one who has a bit of trouble getting them all screwed together. It is a bit more difficult than I'd like, but that said it's not enough of an issue that it would keep me from using them. I love the size and haven't had any issues with leaking. Though, like many of the other answerers I have not put liquid into them.

I have not had that problem since I always keep it up straight. It might leak into the food next to it if your not carefully.

The lid stays open slightly and requires you to fool the lid closure switch, I used a small piece of paper folded to wedged into to hole

No it doesn't leak. The lid doesn't twist closed you just push it down over the opening.It's a nice container. I have 2 others but they are so fragile. This one isn't.

I don't know about that Jennifer. Honestly I purchased the Bento Box to help with portion control and it just does not fix back together well. I can never get the lid on the big box to "fit" and click closed. I would save your money and get something else. Hope this helps

I've only seen leakage within compartments. As others have noted, I put most really ripe fruit in containers. But, if I'm already using the container for yogurt or the like, I sometimes take a tiny piece of Press n Seal and place it just over the compartment with raspberries or kiwi. Not completely zero waste but it means the food doesn't get wasted.

I had no leaking problems. Just make sure lid is on tight and button closed

Once this is fully saturated you can fold it. I have folded it and doesn't seem to make it leak. But make sure it is fully hydrated.

use both hands holding the sides of the bowl, close the lid from the bottom, while it close to the top, slightly use both of your index fingers to squeeze the bowl, and use your thumb to push the lid down. Now it closed perfectly.:) make sense?

No it doesn't leak unless you accidentally screw the lid on wrong (which I've done a few times). I've just learned to tip it over in the sink to see if I got it right and water isn't gushing out. The other time it leaked slightly is when I was rummaging in my gym bag and the stopper was tugged off. I'm more cautious about that now as well, and it hasn't happened again.
