I cube a lot...have been a winner in a lot of local competitions, usually spending an hour or two every day on a cube, so I know my cubes.
If you're a serious cuber, do not buy this cube. The stickers peel off, the turning radius is weak and it's very squeaky...not good if you're trying to cube in a library. The helpful hints are way too basic and aren't going to bring you up to the high level of competitive cubing.

I too have purchased the Rubiks from amazon and have had the same problem with the stickers peeling off within three days of use and yes it is not as smooth to move. I Love the Rubiks cube but I would like the same quality to be made for future rubiks as it was from the 80's. It is very challenging and fun for everyone. I was just dissapointed with the new make of it, I was wondering if I could purchase a good quality one without having to think about putting something on it to protect the stickers from peeling off, we should not have to do this.Things should get better with time not worse. I would rate 5 stars but the quality stops me from doing that. other wise overall great ! enjoy

I was playing with Rubik's cube the last time it was hot in the 80's, and I just recently bought a few of these. The first two I bought in a store was made by Winning Moves which work the way I remember the cube to be in the old days. Then I decided I want one in my office and order this one through Amazon because it offers free shipping for Prime Members.
This cube was bad right out of the package, and within three days of moderate use, the clear color stickers started peeling off the white background stickers on many of the faces. This cube is also very loud, sometime squeaky, and often get stuck when used in medium or high speed. There is a HUGE difference between this and the Winning Moves one.
I guarantee I have nothing to do with the Winning Moves company, and this is actually the first time I have disliked a product enough to write a review on Amazon. But there is no excuse for a bad version of a product that has been around for 30 years! Don't buy this version.

Got it yesterday and already the stickers are wearing off. The durability of this thing is junk. I read an online tip that said, "Coat the edges of the stickers with clear flat (non-shiny) nail polish to prevent peeling." I'll try that now.

Great Cube, stickers stuck on far longer than i expected. Cube is extremely durable...believe me...I got quite frustrated and violent with it at times. The plastic and internal workings are all designed very well. Just make sure to get some silicone if you want optimal performance and more fun.
Only wish they would just paint the surface instead of using stickers, but other than that, great product with excellent durability. In my experience, stickers last around 100 hours with heavy usage (me) to probably 200-300 with slower more leisurely usage.
