Just another variation on those no-name Chinese cubes. I might be able to tell the particular make of your cube if you have more pictures, but most likely it's just another random one popping up in China.

It's YJ 2x2x2 [skidproof sticker, isn't it?]

Eastsheen mechanism, but very easy to pop.

Where in the pictures did you see skidproof stickers?
I can't say for sure whether it's a genuine Eastsheen or YJ, there isn't enough information to tell.

So.. I've been having this cube for about 3 or 4 months. It's really good.
Cuts corners well but sometimes do have a bit of lock ups.
But I've really been wondering what Type is this cube?
A, B, C, D etc? Or is it just some random cube that has no type or whatever.
It has centre caps and you can adjust the tensions.
But i couldn't snap a picture of it because i superglued the caps on
because they were continuously dropping off. I was pretty dumb back then when i got this cube. But oh well, i've been using it for about 3 months and it's not getting any looser and theres no changes in the tension.

Here are some pictures:

The core is a normal core. It looks abit brown, though. Just abit.

Guys, I'm really sorry for the quality. I don't have a camera
so I'm forced to use my webcam.

Your answers to my question will be very very much appreciated.
Thank you!

I really can't tell, no cubes that I have ever seen or read about have grooves like that on the corners.

Hi.
So I saw this cube in a shop today for £2.99, so I decided to buy it.
Turns out it's a DIY cube, just with low quality stickers and loosely set tension.

Pics:
Sorry about low quality - phone camera :/
It is more rounded than my type C.

Edge piece, corner piece, core (which is slightly yellow) and two centre caps. The centre caps are deeper than my type C.

Anyone able to identify?
Also, on a side note, where can I get replacement good quality stickers in the UK? I already managed to damage them on this cube :|
Should I still just buy them off cubesmith?

Sorry this is an old post but I'm pretty sure I know what this cube is. I have the exact same cube. It's a YJ 3x3 "Brains Cube". I'm thinking this was probably like a 1st generation model of the YJ 3x3 or something like that. How I know it is a "Brains Cube" is because when I bought it I kept the package label and on it, it says Brains Cube. My label didn't have a logo of who it was made by so I searched Youtube. I had already done this before but I searched "brains cube" on Youtube again anyway and some videos show up. I watched one (this one in particular http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4zM8CGV9HM) and on the package it says "Brains Cube" and it has a YJ logo. I didn't see a video about this YJ 3x3 cube in the color white (like Jay's cube and mine) but I do remember watching a video with a white YJ 3x3 "Brains Cube" so I'm sure Jay's cube and mine are the same as the one I saw in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4zM8CGV9HM and some other videos. So yes, your cube is a YJ 3x3 "Brains Cube." Sorry for the long post I just wanted to explain how I knew and figured out what this cube was.
