That's an ingenious solution! (I'd worry a little about it flying off on bumpy roads, though?)

You can hang the bottle from a backpack using a carabiner (too heavy for me). You can carry it with a finger. You can hang it from the purse hook in airport restrooms and not have to try to juggle it while you pee and risk dropping on the floor! Yay!
