The Infinity Cube EDC Fidget Toy, or FlipCube, is a sleek block toy made for two-handed manipulations. As the maker says,” You can keep flipping and folding the cube endlessly. Fidgeting with the FlipCube will improve your focus, allowing you to concentrate on the task at hand. It’s the perfect office desk accessory, allowing you to fidget with one hand and work with the other. Take a break and fold it over and over again while you brainstorm ideas.”
