YJ Yulong Smooth Stickerless Speed Cube Puzzle, 56mm

In a nutshell, this is a speed cube of 3x3x3 sides, outwardly like the original Rubik's Cube but made differently internally to be much, much more durable and more importantly fast to spin the sides. I can beat this cube on average in under 1 minute whereas an actual Rubik's Cube takes me almost 2 minutes and sometimes higher. There are no stickers, the sides of the cube are colored themselves so no worries about babies eating your stickers rendering your cube useless. Also while you CAN pull it apart, it's not likely to fall apart when speed-cubing unless you're really getting crazy with it, and so less likely to have the corners fall off and the baby or the dog choking on it. And lastly it's got great bright vibrant colors on it, but they're still the same colors as the original and not mauve or pink or fuchsia or whatever lame colors some of the speed cubes have.

Total beginner here: I had heard before that the official "Rubik's cube" brand were crap compared to even cheaper speed cube brands. Even at this low price point, I can 100% confirm this. This cube is lighter and moves waaaay more smoothly than the "official" cube, which often gets locked up if not perfectly aligned.

I'm not much of a speed cuber as my record time is around 90s and I pretty much take about 2m on average. My collection of cube is pretty small as well so I am by no means an expert on judging. That said of the 5 cubes I own this is the one I like the most. It is very smooth, has good cornering, easy to 'read' and the plastic has a good 'feel'. I love the fact that it is sticker less as my 'genuine Rubix Cube' stickers started to look bad just after a few hours of use. You'll have a hard time to find a better cube for under $10. For expert cubers I guess they'll want to go with the $20-30 cubes.

Great cube! I'm not a speed cuber, but am working on my speed. Smooth easy turning and I like the color scheme...somewhat fluorescent. I like the stickerless feature....never had one before----only the original Rubik's. The cutting is pretty good and I haven't had any pieces pop out on me yet. The center cube cover comes off to adjust how loose the cube is. I'm just using it as it came. All in all a Great Cube.09/10/2015. Update: Been using this cube for a while. I like the feel...smooth, with that clackity clackity sound. Problems that I have come across. If your fingernails are a little long, they will sometimes pop the colored cube covers. Also, as I'm rapidly turning the cube, the center cover pops off. But other than that, excellent cube!

It said it would come on the 14th then 10-11 but it came on the 9th so that was awesome, it is way easier to turn than a Rubik's cube, and turns really smooth, but when you turn in it makes this sound, it's similar to rubbing sand paper against itself, I'm just assuming it's because it's the new cheap plastic and it will wear smoothly fairly quickly, it came with an instruction booklet with all of CFOP method instructions printed in it! I peeled off the center brand sticker with ease and no residue left behind, this is going to be my favorite cube for a long while.

Ordered twice and both times was sent used product with scratches and finger prints. The second time around product was damaged , hard to turn the cube and making squeeky noise. Very disappointed as the order and return twice has caused almost 2 week delay

This is a good product for beginners and is a solid really affordable speed cube. There is a little stiffness when turning but for the price I don’t mind it. Now if you are more intermediate or higher I recommend getting a magnetic speed cube you can find a nice one between 10-15 dollars. Overall for the cube it self it is very durable I even dropped on concrete and it fell into my pool and is just fine. That is the end of my review hope it helped you decide if you want it!

The box was really dirty upon arrival and the cube itself has a lot of scratches and wear to it. I'm just glad I bought this for personal use. While it does move more smoothly and faster than a classic cube, it is a little "springy" and sticks at times. For a few bucks, it does the job fine, but this is prime example of "you get what you pay for".

Se tardó mucho en llegar pero valió la pena

misleading item description. The cube I got is not 'stickerless'. Returning it.

A very good intermediate cube. Smooth and sturdy, feels well built. Does not cut corners as well as a Shengshou Aurora or a MoYu Weilong, but does the job. Has not popped once in three days of rough treatment. Looks cute for being stickerless.Edit 11Aug2014: Pretty costly here. Can be yours for 280 bucks from shop dot scmu dot in. Along with a free cube pouch thrown in! Wish I had discovered this student-run non-profit store earlier :(
