Our Promise to You
All of our products are guaranteed to be free of defects, or we will replace and reship at no cost to you. Please contact us within 4 weeks (28 days) past the delivery date to report any issues with items you have purchased.
Please note that some new cubes when being used for the first few times may experience what is termed a "pop". This is when one or more parts of a puzzle pop out without any damage actually being done to any of the pieces. This also occurs from time to time during normal usage. Pops are typically not considered a defect if the parts which come off can be reassembled by hand.
The corners on 2x2 puzzles should not be twisted as doing so may snap the piece. Damage caused by corner twisting is not considered to be a defect.

TLDR: Locks a lot.
Not an awful cube, it has an interesting interior texture which adds a lot to the cube, but I have huge issues with corner-cutting, corner twisting, and most importantly, this cube seems to lock on nothing. I can't figure out what its coming from, but every once in a while the cube will lock on a <10° cut. It's a very unique cube with a cool feel, but the issues kinda ruin it for me. I wouldn't recommend it.
Best 2x2 I've ever tried. Way better than the mgc and mgc elite 2x2s, and better that the yuxin 2x2s as well.
The flare is just really good. It feels a lot like the Gan 2x2s, with lightness and it has a similar sound as well. Comparing it to the Valk, it doesn't corner cut quite as well, but it's much faster and has much better customization options. If you like stabler cubes and have the money, I suggest buying the Valk but for most people, this will be really good. I'm linking two videos (the file sizes on both are too big)

My son ordered this. It is a perfect beginner cube. It is well-constructed. He is ready to order bigger cubes now.
I really like the X-man flare 2x2 because it is just like the Gan 356 XS in a way. It is my main now so it is a very good cube.
This cube has amazing turning would highly recommend
Mine popped and I can’t fix it
I was a bit disappointed with this cube when I first got it. The feeling is reminiscent to the Gan 251, but the corner cutting is not that good, and it catches a fair bit. The packaging is nice, but the plastic seems a bit cheap to me, and some of it protrudes slightly. I overall think there are better options out there if you are serious, like the Valk, or the MGC elite.
my son loved it, great quality and ease of use.
I love the pleasing black internals and the glossy finish. I also love the easy to adjust magnetic system.
