I don't think I will be switching from the Playtex Dropins I have been using.
The re-sealable bags for the Steribottles are easy to use and do help keep them clean. Sterility of the bottles and the nipples is ensured by their being stacked, one on top of the other (think Dixi Cup dispenser). The bottles themselves are 8oz and graduated. The nipples are fast flow.
The procedure to unseal and reseal the bag to get out the bottles is straightforward, although probably not necessary. Once you open the bag it is no longer sterile. The need to carefully and only partially unzip the packaging for the nipples is tedious. The nipples leak very little when the bottle is inverted, but when feeding, the flow is very fast (too fast, much faster than a Playtex fast flow nipple).
The biggest surprise was that once you put the nipple on the bottle, you can't take it off. I discovered this while testing it empty and had to waste a bottle and nipple. This means you can't "top off" a bottle, or add something to an already made bottle. Forcing the nipple off the bottle breaks the sealing mechanism and renders the bottle useless. The bottle is recyclable, but not reusable. There is a lot less trash with the Dropins.
I see no reason to switch.Get more detail about Steribottle Ready to Use Disposable Baby Bottles, 10 Count.
