Z-Cube Magnetic Brooch Badge - 3x3

Zcube Magnetic Brooch Badge 3x3

Zcube Magnetic Brooch Badge 3x3 is a magnetic badge shaped like a 3x3 cube. It has no pin, only a magnetic fastening. That means it doesn't leave holes in fabric, and you can move it from your hoodie to your backpack or bag in a few seconds. It's a small gadget for cubers: for competitions, for a school backpack or as a little extra with a gift for someone who solves cubes.

What the 3x3 badge looks like

The brooch shows a scrambled 3x3 cube viewed from a corner, so you see three faces at once. The colours on the tiles are vivid, and the whole badge is covered in glossy enamel with a clear outline. The badge is light and weighs approx. 5 g, so it doesn't pull the fabric down, even on a thin T-shirt.

Magnet or pin?

A magnet has two advantages: it doesn't damage your clothes and it's easy to move the badge to a different spot. It also has limitations you should know about before buying. On thick fabric, such as a jacket or a heavy sweater, the magnet holds less firmly. Accidentally catching the badge or moving vigorously can make it slip off. If the brooch is going to be worn all day on the go, e.g. by a child at school, it's better to attach it to thinner fabric and check from time to time that it's still in place.

Who is it for?

For anyone who wants a simple way to show that they solve cubes, and for people looking for an affordable extra to add to a gift for a cuber. The badge is also a nice little item for collectors of speedcubing gadgets. It's a decorative item, not a puzzle: it has no moving parts and can't be solved.
