We designed them cubes to withstand some physical abuse, but they are sophisticated electronic devices. Very rough handling (throwing, dousing in water, and other forms of cube torture) will probably break a cube permanently. To clean your Sifteo Cubes and base, squeeze as much liquid out of a slightly damp cloth as you can, and wipe down all sides, avoiding the top edges of the cubes and without applying too much pressure to the screens. Let cubes dry, then wipe them again with a dry cloth. Get More Info For more information about Sifteo Cubes and to contact our support team, please visit our support portal. Su
