  • Rubik's TouchCube box

    Rubik's has been selling puzzle games for more than 30 years, with its mass market distribution of the original Rubik's Cube beginning in 1980. Now, with its most recent iteration in a long line of spinoffs, Rubik's has brought modern technology together with the classic game in the Rubik's TouchCube.

    Rubik's has created some great packaging for the TouchCube.

  • Second layer

    Another foam layer just like the top one holds in the bottom of the TouchCube. After that, the stand and power charger are embedded in a thick foam insert. The stand is further protected by a triangular piece of foam.
