What's the difference between tiles and stickers?

[webfox]

Hey everybody.
My Rubik's cube's stickers doesn't look so good, and in a month- it would be absolutely terrible.

I thought about getting Cubesmith's stickers, and I've seen there are stickers, and there are tiles.

What's the different? Does it worth the extra 3 bucks?
Does those stickers/tiles fit an original Rubik's cube?
And last question: how much time would it take the stickers to get to Israel using the regular 2$ shipping?

Thanks.
Nadav

Maybe you should use the search function:

And they fit on your Rubik's Cube.

Well, I've got some other questions.
1. In that topic someone said silicone spray eats the stickers/tiles.
I'm currently using silicone spray. So... What should I do? =\
2. How does the tiles stick to the cube? you use a glue or something..?

lol... right..
So I'll get tiles for my current cube, and also for the DIY cube I will buy.

Unrelated question: new type a, old type a, or type d with type a core?
(for speed, corners-cutting and no popping)
thanks

No new type A maybe you should try the old type A and type A and type D. But don't buy the type D from cube4you, these sucks because there are new ones.

Thanks. I'll try to put my hands on a Yuga(9spuzzles)+Old type A core. =]

Hi, also have a question about Cubesmith stickers (but not tiles):

I'd like to try using one of the non-standard colors like the chrome or the silver together with a regular set, but I'd also like to use the cube for BLD without cheating. Do they have different textures to them?

No, all Cubesmith vinyl stickers have the same texture to them.

Thanks, I might give them a go then.
