The NeoCube is a compact series of balls (HAHAHAHHA) that is essentially a workable, 3-d puzzle with unlimited solutions. The website builds it up as a stress reliever, a creative outlet… hell, probably the modern answer to religion, I don’t know. Besides the excessive self hype, it’s a pretty damn cool $40 trinket to get your kid.

The only downside I saw with this quirky piece of machinery is when I checked out the disclaimer page.

This product contains small parts that may be harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Consult a doctor immediately if this occurs.

The strong magnets in the NeoCube can damage or destroy some electronic devices.
Therefore it should never be put close to or directly in contact with electronic products.
Strong magnets can even damage electronic medical devices.
Therefore the NeoCube should never be handled, used by, or brought near to anybody with a pacemaker or other electronic medical device.
Strong magnets can also damage or destroy information stored magnetically some examples of these are credit card strips, floppy disks, and hard disks.
Therefore the NeoCube should not be put close to or directly in contact
with any type of magnetically stored data.
Never attempt to burn the NeoCube
If the metallic coating around the spheres breaks down discontinue use.

This is precautionary.

The NdFeB material which is the magnetic material in the NeoCube is a relatively new material, and long term effects of direct skin exposure are therefore unknown.
Although there have been no studies which indicate that it is in any way transdermaly toxic.
This product is not intended to treat, diagnose, or cure any diseases.
This product contains small balls.

SICK! A toy that you can give your 8+ year old that will erase all of your credit cards, eliminate your iPhone, stop their friend’s pacemaker and probably give them metal poisoning. And the product contains small balls. Sweet.

All rants aside, this looks pretty cool, and if the NeoCube guys would send us over a box of them, *EhhhHemmm*, we would be thrilled to review it.
