I'm wondering what the smallest commercially available 3x3 is (not a custom-made thing that's not for sale). I tend to always have a Rubik's Cube with me just because I like to mess with it while waiting, and have always just used one of the Rubik's brand mini cubes.
Said Rubik's mini cube however has several annoyances. I solved the problem of the hollow edges catching on corners/whatnot by filling in each piece with JB Weld. However, since the center is just molded plastic, no screws or springs or anything, it's been weakening over time, and pieces are starting to semi-easily fall out while solving it. Likely a side-effect of it always being in my pocket and banged around, but at least with screws I could re-tighten it. After all my JBWeld related work, it's kinda sad to see it slowly become unusable.
The second annoyance is that it's still slightly too big for my likings. When wearing jeans, the corners tend to dig into my leg.
Thus... does there exist somewhere a smaller cube still (with or without screw/springs), or a cube of the same size with screws/springs? I remember someone mentioning a Maru Mari... something or another, but have forgotten the specifics. And if I recall, that was regular mini-cube size. If something smaller is out there, I'd be all over that.
