Calvin's 3x3x5 Cuboid

Okay this cuboid is a heck of a lot of fun despite some nitpicks. Shapeshifting, parity, it’s got it all. Turning is fairly smooth, but it catches quite a bit, and also the stickerless version feels ragged and sharp. not sure if this is the case with the stickered version, also the stickerless version adds a bit more challenge because the down and top centerpieces have either red or orange with them, so you have to put those in the correct layer. One last thing the corners are very poorly put together on the stickerless version, I had a couple corner cap pops in my first solve. But I’d recommend it, just not the stickerless version.

I like it, turns well doesn’t pop.

My son has over 30 cubes and was excited to get this for his birthday. He loved the new challenge but this fell apart within an hour or so. It rotated slowly and seemed to catch when it rotates. We reconstructed it twice but it doesn’t hold up. Extremely disappointing, especially considering it’s price.

I owned a 3x3x5 Before, and it was decent in quality probably 6.6-7 Out of 10. This one though easily starts with an 8.

This was one of the most fun puzzles in my collection while it lasted. It is definitely worth owning one, but it isn’t really for speed solving. I learned that the hard way. One of the corner stalks broke when I was doing a timed solve. I’d like to get another one day, but it’s unfortunate that there’s not a better one on the market. Just take care when solving it.

This puzzle turns really well but it makes a lot of noise because it is very dry out of the box, but overall I would recommend

I love the 3x3x5! In fact, I've gotten two of them. I don't, however, love this 3x3x5. I've broken two of them.

This puzzle is one of the most fun puzzles I've played with, but it seems way too fragile. Hopefully one from a different brand will work better.

This was my first large cuboid, and it is a lot of fun to solve. It isn’t a speed cube so it was pretty stiff out of the box, but I was able to speed it up with some Maru. It pops occasionally, but the pieces aren’t too hard to put in. The shades are pretty nice, and the solving experience is a pleasure.

Let me start off by saying that the quality of this puzzle is no GAN 356 3x3. I am careful with this cube and never try to corner cut on it, so it has never popped on me. The puzzle turns easily and is actually pretty smooth, but it is not anything spectacular. This is probably due to the limitation of how a cuboid is built and designed. With that said, I have had this cube since 7/2016 and its one of the most enjoyable puzzles for me to solve because I like cuboids. I have over 20 different cubes. Consider that I'm not an expert solver, just a cubing enthusiast with a 0:45 sec 3x3 and a 4:00 4x4 time. The Calvin's 3x3x5 IS NOT a speed-solving cube. This is a great puzzle for someone that enjoys solving new cubes. I have WitEden cuboids, which I generally prefer, but this Calvin's 3x3x5 is a little faster/smoother and more enjoyable to solve. Overall a fun puzzle to solve and I would recommend this to everyone looking for a fun cuboid.

So I got this for 40 freaking dollars at Barnes and Nobles. But I was so excited for this, that I unboxed on my dads car. So I did a checkerboard pattern and the shades were cool. So I decided to do an easy scramble. On my 5th scramble ( still easy ) I turned it and a piece popped out. So I'm like, ok, this pops. So after I couldn't get the piece in. I waited to get home. And then I told my dad, can you fix this and he is like sure. So we got to work. And when we got the piece back in, it's popped right out. So I looked at the piece and the the freaking edge hook snapped. So I assembled it. Returned it and hated Calvins. I am considering to give calvins puzzle another chance though. Sorry for the long review but this puzzle Sucks don't get it.
