LBL Designs SteVin 4x4
Product Description
The LBL Designs SteVin is a Vin Cube 4x4 with magnets in the corner and edge feet to stabilize the outer layers without introducing the inconsistencies that result from using core magnets on even-layered cubes. This addition of magnets turns an already great cube into what we believe is the best 4x4 on the market.

Our Promise to You
All of our products are guaranteed to be free of defects, or we will replace and reship at no cost to you. Please contact us within 4 weeks (28 days) past the delivery date to report any issues with items you have purchased.
Please note that some new cubes when being used for the first few times may experience what is termed a "pop". This is when one or more parts of a puzzle pop out without any damage actually being done to any of the pieces. This also occurs from time to time during normal usage. Pops are typically not considered a defect if the parts which come off can be reassembled by hand.
The corners on 2x2 puzzles should not be twisted as doing so may snap the piece. Damage caused by corner twisting is not considered to be a defect.

Customer Reviews
The turning on this puzzle is so satisfying. I never seriously practiced 4x4 before this but the SteVin just feels so nice to turn I can’t put it down. The added modifications make the puzzle feel very stable and consistent when turning. I’ve found that I rarely lock up with this puzzle. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys 4x4, or anyone who doesn’t like their current hardware.
Long time MGC 4x4 user here. As soon as the Vin came out it was an easy upgrade, and was honestly a bit skeptical when I heard about it getting another mod, but the SteVin is SOO good. It comes not only with the extra magnets but also with a great lube set up. Very hard to put down, actually makes me want to practice 4x4 again! Highly recommended.
Used to main the Aosu WRM since it released but picked up an Angstrom Vin 4x4 which, after some adjusting to the tensions and break-ins I got similar times but my average time was better (avg-52 seconds)
Issue with the normal Vin was that 3xe stability/locking Especially with accidently misaligning the middle layers during 3x3 step. Saw this version fixes that issue.
Bought the LBL version and omg are the 3x3 stages so much better! This was a much needed improvement on an already amazing cube. New avg with this version I'm down to 49 seconds which is PR :)
Highly recommend this over the normal Vin!
i also have a stock Vin 4x4, and this is a massive upgrade. set a new pr of 2:15 with it barely broken in at a comp last Saturday. attached is a pic of it with my other 4x4s and other Cubicle puzzles
It's fast and a bit uncontrallable, but I got used to it after 300 solves. It made me perform better for sure (sub-50). It also has a slightly scratchy feel.
this cube out of the box is already lightning fast! Even after being extremely out of practice, I managed to get a good time (for my standards): I would definitely recommend this cube to anyone (especially intermediate solvers). Only problem I have is that my cube that I got has loads of scratches on the plastic.
4.7/5
The vin cube 4x4 was my favorite and I also had a vin with core magnets from picube shop, which was better the factory one but it had some issues with the outer layers.
In my oponion this cube is far more stable and a lot better than the ball core one.
So to sum things up this version is worth the extra money because it also comes set up properly, AMAZING.
New main. From the box a bit uncontrollable and some lube was on the cube, but the turning of the cube is great.
I have been using the MGC 4x4 for the longest time and have been averaging like high 50's on that cube. When I got this new SteVin 4x4 mod, I dropped times to around high 40's. The does require a lot of break in time from what i've seen, but once it has been broken in, you will have blast using this cube. I would highly recommend this whether you have the original Vin, or another 4x4 like the MGC or AoSu WRM.
Great puzzle. Crunchy stable yet fast. I love it. If you have the money and are looking to splurge this is a fantastic cube.
