Thread: 3x3x3 Cube

    Just wondering how long a cube lasts you? For me one cube lasts me about a month with hours a practice everyday. The stickers become ugly and the cube starts to seem jiggly as if any moment a edge piece will pop out.

    A cube should last for years with hours of practice every day. Stickers are another story.

    I've been cubing since Feb. 17th and I haven't needed to get a new cube. Even my stickers are fine. Where do you get your cubes from?

    My 25th anniversary lasted for the past 2 years. Although, I didn&#39;t cube for the vast majority of one of them...

    if my cube pops pretty frequently, does that mean I should get a new cube? mine probably pops once out of every twenty to thirty solves.

    Mine popped ONCE in it whole existence... O_O&#33;

    I was twisting it weird an it popped in school. My cube is really smooth, not very loose, but it isn&#39;t easy to cut corners.

    Umm, popping is very VERY normal. I have a DIY, and i pop probably once every 10 solves or so. The only reason you should buy a new cube is if a center piece breaks off. Stickers can be replaced, and pops are normal...
