I have a set of 2 ounce gotoobs, without teh suction cups. I LOVE them. I bought them last summer after my cheap refillable travel bottles started leaking. The gotoobs do not leak, at all. They do have a pretty extensive list on their website of products you shouldn't store in the toobs because they will degrade the silicone.
My goobtube leaks when filled with more fluid shampoo. :( Thicker stuff (like conditioner or lotion) doesn't leak. Or maybe I got unlucky.
While I liked the look and feel of my goobtube, the silicone attracted so much dust/fuzz, I ended up tossing it.
At reuseit.com, it's $6.95 for one 1.25 fl. oz. GoToob container, not for three. If only they were actually that affordable. Do your research, people!
I'm really confused as to why I should pay $4 for 16 Ibuprofen tablets.
muji... the japanese answer to traveling and toiletries.
I find when i have a smaller container, I use less product. Good for the wallet and better for the environment.
They have sizes that work for an overnight, a week and even at home.

I save small metal boxes to use for pills, band aids or any other small nick nacks I'll bring on my trip. I also use them as everyday separators so I can find stuff in my bag. It's soo much easier to find a small box or purse with the nailfile, band aid and other beauty items than having to rummage around headphones, wallet and all the other very necessary crap I lug around town.
I love my goToob even though it's crazy expensive. It makes me ridiculously happy to get every last bit of product out.
Your link for the bluetooth keyboard does not work. I found my GoToobs half off at TJ Maxx. Loved them, until they stopped sticking to the shower wall, fell off and the flip tops broke.
