The LAUTIE Choc is one of the most talked-about fidget sliders in the EDC world — a chocolate-bar-shaped magnetic slider with a cult following. But a growing number of collectors aren't stopping at the stock version. Here's an honest look at the original versus the M-EDC Modified Edition, and whether the upgrade is worth it.

The Stock LAUTIE Choc
The original is a precision-machined stainless steel slider with LAUTIE's signature magnetic action. It looks clean, feels great, and earned its reputation honestly. The tradeoff: every unit looks the same, and there's no way to make it yours.
What M-EDC Changes
We start with an authentic LAUTIE Choc and rebuild the experience around it. Three things set the modified edition apart:
1. Crystal-Sealed Finish
Each piece is finished with our crystal-sealing process — a deep, glass-like coating over hand-applied artwork. No two pieces come out identical.

2. Free Custom Engraving
Your text, engraved on a brass nameplate and set into the finish. A name, a date, a motto — whatever makes it yours.

3. Finish Options
Starry Night, Ocean Wave, Silver Frost, and more — pick the artwork that fits your carry.

Because every piece is finished by hand, yours will never look exactly like the photos — that's the point.
