This cube gets 5 stars + toasted bagel
I've owned quite a few rubix cubes. Frankly, this one blows them all to pieces.
Why? Easy:
1. No stickers. Every other cube I've owned has become a peely mess after only a moderate amount of use, becoming ugly and therefore banished from my floating castle. This thing has no stickers to deal with; just simple plastic with really nice colors. This also means no cheating, and no siblings screwing with your cube because they think it's impossible.
2. Corners. This concept evades the minds of cube makers worldwide, who design their cubes with plain unforgiving squares. This results in bashing corners, which results in jamming, which results in swearing, which can result in illegal acts of violence and occasionally beastiality. This can be avoided, simply by taking a tiny diagonal notch out of the inside of each square. Check out the picture and behold the diamond cutouts. Now you can have a cube that can turn swiftly, easily, without alignment problems, and thus avoid frustration - and obtain true inner peace.
3. It feels like it was lubricated with sweet cream butter from land o' lakes.
OK, seriously, this is a really great cube. It looks a a lot better then generic black cubes covered with stickers, twists and turns wonderfully with very little restriction, and will likely remain in this condition for a very, very long time.
Quite strangely, it happens to come with a small bag of stickers. These can be used to restore your old cubes, make happy faces on your refrigerator, or be burned with fire. The box is also awesome, which of course is relevant.
All in all, highly recommended.
