Fun Tactile Turn-A-Cube Game with Raised Shapes - The Braille Superstore and Blind in Mind

Extremely cheaply made
I was very excited to find this brain teaser. Looked forward to amusing myself with a tactile version I could actually enjoy.I got the two Rubik's cubes today. I love the feel of them. The tactile markings (more like the adhesive raised dots for marking appliances for blind people) are easily distinguishable, and easy to differentiate.Within five minutes of turning and twisting, one of the cubes popped off. I was not twisting that hard, no more than would be appropriate. I tried to pop the piece back in place. No luck. I can honestly say I broke a Rubik's cube...and not by stumping myself with mismatching sides. While trying to pop the cube back in place, a second one fell out, then a third.I ended up taking the whole thing apart so I could look at how it's made. There is a central core, and then the cubes. They click in place around it, by clicking into each other, I think. If even one is misaligned, the whole cube can fall apart.I hope to enjoy the one I still have. And I sincerely hope that whoever makes these will consider a much sturdier design, something where the pieces won't fall out so easily.When I got the Rubik's cubes out of the box they were shipped in, both had tactile pieces that had come off in shipment. They look like they can be glued back in place onto the cube where they were fixed. I was willing to overlook that small mishap, since thigs happen in transit, beyond the seller's control. I am disappointed with what could have been a wonderful product.Please note, I cannot answer questions about the colors of the cubes for legally blind or sighted people interested.

tactile objects are glued on.
the fact that they are glued on does not make a big difference, but I found one that is molded with tactile items. this is a fun item to show off, I used my downtime during COVID to learn how to solve it and now I can solve it in less than five minutes.

She Loved It!!
I am a teacher and I bought this for a new student. She was a blind Somali immigrant who spoke no English, but was sharp as a tack. She LOVED this- it was a challenge for her!! I’m so glad I ran across it!!

Poor construction quality, pieces keep popping off
I really wanted to like this twisty puzzle. And for the first few days I loved it. Unfortunately the pieces keep popping off. My children, trying to remidy the situation tried to put them back but now the faces are scrambled in such a way as to render the cube unsolvable. I have worked at it for a few hours now (even using cube solving apps) but the there are 19 faces that have popped off and I've run out of patience trying to put them back into something that is atleast solveable.

Cheaply made, not worth money!
Shopping experience, great - product awlful. I gave as a gift and he dropped it on the floor when he opened it and it broke and cannot be repaired. It is cheaply made and certainly not like a Rubic's Cube that I thought it would be.
