Like before the redi cube was released? It might have been the Mofang Jiaoshi Mirror S and Windmill cube, if your counting sub-brands too.

Yeah, and I wasn't thinking of sub-brands when posting it (I thought it was the 13x13) but I would count that as moyu

Where to start disassembling this thing? 
And can I find screws somewhere: is tensioning possible? Any tips?
I'd maybe like to try modding, maybe magnetizing.

Where to start disassembling this thing?
This is what I did: Pull out the edge caps, then try to pull out the edge base pieces one at a time. (I think it's possible to remove a whole edge piece directly without removing the caps first, but for the first few edge pieces, it's easier to remove the caps first.) Once the three edges surrounding a corner have been taken out, you can remove the corner caps, which exposes the screws.

My brand new Redi Cube is really poorly tensioned. How can I disassembled it? Is there a tutorial somewhere? Thank you.
Look at the post right above yours

Thank you. I have to buy a new pair of glasses before I do that.

Hey guys, I just made a video on how to get Redi cube scrambles on cstimer if anyone wants to know check it out
This was exactly how I intended it to be used, lol. (Did people actually go back and forth instead of just copying the scrambles?)

Yeah a lot of people I asked on Instagram said they handscrambled or back and forth
M-maybe...

This puzzle is painful to tensioned. I wonder if screwing a corner tighten the 3 adjacent corners instead of this corner itself.

The God Number of Redi Cube is 19
In the past several hours, I've finished the calculation of the God Number of Redi Cube.
There're totally 12!/2*3^8 = 1,571,364,748,800 different positions.
Here's the depth distribution:
According to the table, there're 332 different positions cannot be solved in 18 moves and therefore the god number of Redi Cube is 19. The average depth is about 14.037. The result as well as depth distribution matches the random solving test proposed in Redi Cube Discussion Thread - Page 3
I use 48 symmetries to reduced the calculation space to about 32 billion and use conventional BFS with backward optimization (as introduced in http://kociemba.org/math/pruning.htm) to calculate the distribution.
The results of depth<=8 have been cross checked by a brute force solver, and I'll do some more validation on other results, especially the 332 19-depth states.

So I'm curious - is anyone fast with Redi Cube without table abuse? Or does everyone who's fast use table abuse to solve it?
I guess I'm old-school - it still feels like cheating to me to use the table. Even though I know that for several events (megaminx, OH) it has come to be almost guaranteed to be used by WR holders.
I just got one today and it feels like it's probably much faster to solve with table abuse than without?
I admit that somehow its being such an intuitive puzzle makes it kind of addicting, for a while, anyway.

I definitely use table abuse, i think more than even most solvers. Like for me, the cube is never off the table.

From my very limited playing with the puzzle, it seems like that might be the most efficient way to do it.

yeah honestly the cube should never come off the table. watch fast solvers like Vladimir (Channel Link here) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE7VPr_kybQNSeje-isOr4A

Wow, amazing to watch such good solves. Thank you for the links!

Message to the organizers of competitions with ivy cube: can you please publish your competition's results in Redi Cube? (like what is being done in kilominx)
Message to all others: do you know a ranking or database storing Redi Cube results?
