Z-Cube Magnetic Folding Cube

Zcube Magnetic Folding Cube

Zcube Magnetic Folding Cube is a magnetic folding cube from the fidget category. You unfold its pieces and fold them into different shapes, and the magnets hold them in the position you choose. Unlike a 3x3 puzzle cube, there is no "solved" state and no algorithms to learn. You just pick it up and turn it, fold it and reshape it. That makes it a great thing to keep your hands busy at your desk, while travelling or between solving sessions.

How a magnetic folding cube works

Folding cubes like this don't have an internal turning mechanism like classic twisty puzzles. You move it by opening up the segments and flipping them over one another. The magnets help close each shape and keep the cube from falling apart in your hand when you put it down. For the next move, just pull the segments gently to separate them. It's more of a calm, relaxing toy than a timed challenge, so TPS and corner cutting don't come into it.

Who is it for?

For anyone who likes having something in their hands while thinking, talking or studying, and for cubers looking for a break from speedcubing. This fidget requires no knowledge of cubes at all, so it can be an easy gift for someone outside the cubing community. If you're buying it for a younger child, keep in mind that it contains magnets and should not be given to the youngest children without supervision.

Colour versions

Zcube Magnetic Folding Cube comes in four colours: blue (Blue), green (Green), red (Red) and purple (Purple). The versions differ only in colour, so the choice simply comes down to which one you like best.
