Anyone have experience with the Ultra Pro Mox CUB3? I'm looking for decent storage for a cube but have rarely have good experience with Ultra Pro products.

yeah i was thinking about that as my RTR one is full to the brim so i need one anyway but it would be a short term solution. is your cube double sleeved?

My cube isn't double sleeved, I use dragon shields on mine if that helps any though. They advertise them holding around 2000 unsleeved cards, and I have one holding 10 single sleeved edh decks with room for about 2 more (99 X 12 = 1,188 card total. Total hits 1200 with commanders.)
I think it could work, but it all depends on how big your cube is, and if you supply lands, tokens, etc

I'm looking at perhaps buying the Ultra Pro Dack Fayden sleeves which i know are poor quality but would suit my conspiracy cube perfectly. To circumvent the quality issue i could use KMC Strong Hard's to to sleeve my sleeves. Sounds odd but they protect the sleeve itself and effectively double sleeve the card inside which is good if you need to protect graphics from peeling.
Cost wise it's roughly the same as double sleeving with KMC however two issue's arise, you get a glossy shuffle feel and add width to 72mm which affect storage choices. The MOX CUB3 will hold Ultra Pro's equivalent sleeve protectors which are 69mm but they're of poor quality, have tweeted them for dimensions. Measured my holiday RTR box and i don't think it'll hold a 72mm sleeve without compressing it.
The easier route would be to just KMC hyper with KMC perfect's but i'd at least like to explore this avenue.

just found my short term solution and i already had it! lol a while back i bought the Ultra Pro Gaming Carry Case but didm't find it fit for purpose and i found it easier to just take my pack pack. However i continue to use the card box next to my desk when i store sleeves, deck boxes i need to hand, dice etc. Just dawned on me that could use it to store and carry my cube! It's not designed to hold loose card with the compartments being roughly an inch wider but that should mean getting cards in and out will be easy. What it does mean though is that i can store those Dack Fayden Ultra Pro sleeves fitted with KMC Strong Hard's as they'll be plenty of room :)
Should have one compartment free after sleeving it all up as well so i can keep a dice bag in there and extra sleeves. Will try it out to begin with and if i'm not satisfied i'll buy a holiday box which the carry case itself will fit so i'll at least have a good way to transport it.
Side note: spoke to a friend who's looked at the MOX CUB3 up close and it's made of the same material old ultra pro binders were made out of, similar to what max protection still use. Disappointing, means it'll likely degrade pretty quickly, will hold off until reviews.

The holiday boxes are a decent option if your lgs still has them in stock. I keep a conspiracy cube in one and it has room for everything (lands, tokens, extra sleeves, and the card pool)
