MoYu Cube Cover

MoYu Cube Cover

The MoYu Cube Cover is a white cover from MoYu that goes over your cube. It is used to hide the cube after scrambling, so the competitor can't see it before inspection starts. This is standard procedure at WCA competitions, and at home this cover lets you practice exactly the same way.

What is a cube cover for?

At competitions, the scrambler places the scrambled cube on the table and covers it. The competitor only lifts the cover when starting the 15-second inspection. When you practice at home, the cube usually sits uncovered and you can look at it before starting the timer. That gives you a small but real advantage that you won't have at a competition.

With a cube cover, your practice works just like a competition. Someone scrambles the cube and covers it, and you only see it the moment you start your inspection. This is especially useful in a few situations:

• you are practicing planning the cross or first block in 15 seconds and want to track your progress fairly,
• you are preparing for your first competition and want to get used to the procedure in advance: lifting the cover, inspection, starting the timer,
• you are holding a practice competition with others at home or at a club and want to stick to the rules.

Storage and protection

Between sessions, the cover can also simply sit over the cube on your desk or next to your mat and timer. It keeps the cube free of dust and makes your setup look tidier.

Who is it for?

Mainly for cubers who practice with a timer and are thinking about competing or already attend competitions. A beginner who is just learning the layer-by-layer method probably doesn't need this accessory right away. It's better to get one once you start practicing inspection. It's an inexpensive accessory that goes well with a mat and timer.
