How would you compare it to the regular rubiks cube?

It is exactly the same as any normal cube. I reccomend it to anyone, it is pretty much indestructible and it slides easily and quickly. There is no difference between this cube and a "normal" Rubik's cube.

This cube is significanly easier to turn, or smoother than the rubiks brand cube.

It's my first cube so I don't know if it's good or not but I think it has a good quality

A Rubik's brand cube? Go ahead. It might change the black plastic a little white. Food grade CRC silicone might not change the plastic color (I think).

Given the similarities, I'd go with the less expensive version, with shield. You could always take off the shield if you dislike it, but it serves a use. Most of the other construction seems similar, and the one with shield has slightly larger wheels.

The cubes don't come with stands. I can't be sure but I think stands are one of the Rubik's trademark things. No other cube companies use stands.

I've never heard of the magic cube. but I can say that I bought the baby Einstein toy for my 7 month old niece and she loved it. I'm not sure if that's any help or not!

I thought they were the same thing when I first saw IQ Fit. (We have the LonPos puzzle as "Kanoodle".) It is a different puzzle. This board has holes in it. You have to place all the pieces into the puzzle so the top is completely flat. Therefore, to get everything in the right places, you have to turn twist and make sure the excess nubs go down into the board holes. The challenges tell you where to place a few of the pieces. Then you have to figure out the rest. Personally, I like this one more than LonPos.

Judith, there really is no difference. I bought the one marked "1996" version first, because that's how I remembered the box. It also costs more than the newer version. The only outward difference is the external look, one is white and the newer is blue and red. I then bought the newer version, thinking it was different. The ONLY difference concerning contents is the new version has an additional rules sheet in Spanish. Otherwise they're identical. The size of the box, the game cards, pieces, and board are all the same. Buy the one sold by Miles Kimball, it's the cheapest and has free shipping. Hope this helps.

You can move the cube from room to room. It "maps" each room that it is in.

Since I no longer have the cube, I really can give you an answer. Perhaps you can Google it by using the manufacturer's name and id. Sorry I couldn't help.

There are some versions that do. The "Official" Rubik's cube does not. However, there are many books that give you solutions.

It is similar to rummy with cards...but you can move the tiles around as needed for your hand. It is a blast! Real mind game! Google for all rules!

It's loose but still difficult to be fast with. I consider it a novelty item...not really for speed cubing.

Absolutely, I've been using the cube for several months now and it is an excellent piece of engineering. It does cut corners well, and the tension out of the box seems to work well, although if you drop it or use the same force turning it as the original Rubik's Cube it can come apart. The more I use it the more I'm able to adjust to the cube.

No, they are not the same. The cube uses 6 5GH/S mini blades, not this full size 10GH/S blade which is twice the physical size of the mini blade, has a different power connector, etc.

Debra, the big difference in the game that I had been introduced to is this -rather than the board, being traditional, this one has a board that is more ofa canvas which can be rolled up for storage. The chips are printed with white onone side, so it is MUCH easier to see the "completed sequence". SJL

I would give this cube a perfect 10, but it has one major downfall. The stickers...V-Cube got cheap with their stickers and it shows. My v-3 became a peely mess rather quickly, and that was disappointing. With almost everything else this cube gets perfect review from me. Corner cutting, speed, turning, out of the box quality...but v cube stickers are AWFUL. I have to give it a 6 for that. I expect stickers to peel on rubiks brand but i also paid half the price for a rubiks brand cube. I paid $20 for this cube and expected more from it

I imagine anything can be done, but is it worth it? The cube and how it works is not bad for it's size. Maybe check out cubes you can build and program yourself. i.e.: Ali Express has a kit. http://www.instructables.com/id/Led-Cube-8x8x8/ http://makezine.com/2012/04/09/the-best-led-cube-build-weve-seen/
