The whole purpose of a Rubik's cube is defeated as soon as you are not the one to find out how to solve it.
It's like eating a Soccer ball and kicking around a steak.
Edit: No, I have never solved one.

The farthest I ever got on the rubix's cube, was solving one and a half sides.
Cant ever solve the whole thing though.

| I've gotten down to averaging 20 seconds per solve using the Fridrich Method. I've also solved a 4v4 and a Rubik’s Dodecahedron before, though I'm nowhere as fast as I am on my 3x3. I can also solve my 3x3 one-handed, though again not as fast.

I've bought my cubes from ebay. I would suggest getting a premade speedcube first, then getting a DIY later on if you're serious about speedcubing. I believe the shop I bought mine from was rubikfans.

I just got mine from Target..
It's incredibly stupid when people by a product specially made for practicing a skill. It's about your skill at it, not the quality of the tool you're using. Buying a thousand dollar pencil won't help you draw better.

I can solve my speedcube in average of 25 seconds, while I can only solve the one I got from a convenience store in 35 seconds at best.There's a definite difference when it comes to Rubik's cubes. My custom cube not only turns much smoother and faster than a store-bought cube, and also has better grip. I find it hard to do finger tricks on a store-bought cube as well, though it's not impossible. And... the price is not much greater. My custom cube was maybe $15 at most including new stickers and lubrication, while the cube I bought from a convenience store was $10.
EDIT: Of course, if your post is targeted as those just trying to solve the Rubik's cube, that's true. But if you're serious about speedcubing and getting a lower solve time, then getting a better cube helps a lot.

Only solve one side >_>
Anyway them ones with solid colors are for beginners, you guys need to get the ones with pictures on it and that adds a challenge where not only do you to get them on the right side, they also cannot be upside down (have one of those).
