Where to get a white cube?

[slickhare]

I've seen a few pics and videos of people using white cubes, and i think they look really awesome. Problem is, i can't find a place that sells them. Can anyone help me out? if you don't know what i mean, i mean that the cube itself is white, so the exposed parts create a cool look. (i'm in the U.S., so i need a place that will ship there)

Email [email protected] . He sells white DIY's for like $8 plus shipping. He is in China so shipping will be $4-$8 itself. However, I have read great reviews on these, and I have one myself (black-but from the same guy) and it is great.

Are there any established sites that sell them? I have qualms about giving out my personal information via email like that.

His site is rubik.cn I believe, all in Chinese though. Write him and ask him if he has any white DIY's.

Yes. Center caps are excellent, but the ones from rubiks.com are really bad and fall off easily. And the cube feels much more stable, I think it's not going to pop too easily. I just got 2 of these yesterday. Certainly better than rubiks.com ones IMHO. They are not as smooth yet, but I think they just need a little breaking in.

Yeah, they are very smooth. What I did was tighten my screwed pretty tight, then add a tiny bit of lube, and it made it real smooth without popping too much, considering how smooth it is. It takes a little bit of getting used to.

I want to the white ones so bad...How much do you think they cost?

 

[pjk]

They are $8 I think, plus shipping.

 

[Kakashi98]

I think the website for it is rubikbut I not sure.

Can someone provide more details about the quality of these cubes? Advantages or disadvantages compared to rubiks.com DIYs?

The rubiks.com DIYs definitely have a tendency to pop, but that probably has to do with the springs more than anything. However, they are also very smooth from the start.

I have never bought a DIY from Rubiks.com, but on Twisty Puzzles there were great reviews on the DIYs from [email protected]. So I bought one, and it works great. Just as strong as any other cube, you can adjust the tension as preferred, etc.

So what is the difference between type a and type b cubes? Which is the preferred one?

 

[pjk]

I couldn't really see a difference. Send him an email and ask.

I just got a white cube from ebay. Originally I bought a transparent one, and it is rediculously fast but I read that it is not competition legal. So I bought a white DIY from the same seller. I am totally in love with it. Very fast.
