These ribber pin backs are essential for anyone wearing badges/name tags on a daily basis. I work as an EMT and have used the standard metal butterfly clutch pin backings (dammits) for most of my career. A friend recommended I try the rubber backings and I will never go back! You will never again have to worry about your pin backing falling off, slipping out, and getting stuck somewhere in the abyss of your tucked in shirt (this used to happen to me almost daily.) These stay on strong and don't move. My only (small) complaint is that once they're on, they can be hard to get back off - the little grip is small and hard to grasp to pull off. However that's small potatoes compared to all the troubles with using the other metal ones. They also come in a variety of colors (I've seen them in black, navy, white, red, gold, pink) so no matter what color your shirt is, you'll match. This bag came with 100 rubber backs, which is more than you should ever need in a lifetime. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a better way to secure their pins.
These pin backs work great. They are so much better than the metal back that comes with the pins. I have been using these for 5 months and a pin only fell off once when it got caught on something. With the old backs pins would fall off all the time when I wasn't doing anything and I was constantly obsessively checking to make sure I didn't lose one. These work great. They are nice and tight.
They are similar to the backs of the lanyard pins in Disney World.
If you are LEO (or, I suppose military) or in any other service/career that requires you to wear the assorted tags, ranks, and other baubles that are constantly falling off, having a bag of these in your desk can save you a lot of embarrassment and grief. I ran a shift for a municipal PD and kept a bag of these on hand (and a few in my pocket) not only to keep my uniform up to spec but to help my crew stay looking sharp. They don't last forever but then neither do the metal ones and these are much, much cheaper (they also hurt less if a seat-belt or inebriated and highly annoyed local citizen applies sudden dynamic pressure in the region of one's collar brass --- just saying).
I Love these on my leather wide brim hat. None of my pins have ever gotten lost and the backs do not come off!
The pins on my shoulder bag though, these work so well that if the edge of the front of the pin gets snagged and you don't pay attention, the decal/artwork/pinface? Come right off while the pin stays stugg in the backing still. Working a bit too well.
On my work sweater the rubber catches and I have to be careful not to break my name tag and such - but no metal poking my chest is very nice.
So they work very well, sometimes too well & the rubber grips clothing just as well. Enjoy.
I bought this on a whim because I got so frustrated with the brass "dammits" they give out at work. Ever since I bought this pack of 50 I give them out freely to everyone I can because I now have so many. I'm only mad I waited almost 10 years into my career to try these. They are a bit difficult to get off and require some prying with fingernails, but that's well worth it to not lose them in your shirt a few times every month. If I ever run out, I will buy more, but I would guess it is because I gave too many away, not because I lost them in the abyss.

Description
Long necks are a great new addition to the pin back family, Pin and Patch Man made these because of all the complaints of pins sticking through and poking them, with the long neck, this solves the problem and gives you longer gripping area. Buying from anyone but Pin and Patch Man brand, you won't get the original.
I bought these for a pin that lost it's backing and I did not want to go the pencil eraser route to secure the pin back on to my lanyard. I am an art history instructor, I am aloud to geek out with art history inspired pins ;) For a low price I got 50! So if I ever run into this problem again, I have extras! I have replaced all of my pins with the metal backs with these rubber ones and I feel like the rubber ones are more secure and friendly in comparison. They will not catch to clothing or complicate life--the metal ones require you to pin on simutaneously and well, I like the simple things to remain simple.
I purchased these to replace the metal backs that came with pins I wear on my lanyard. The metal backs were constantly catching on everything, and frequently pulling off. After a few times, they would then no longer hold the pin. Once I replaced the metal backs with these, I have not had a single instance of the pin back catching on something or coming off. In fact, it takes a bit of effort to remove them, but then they fit back on just as snugly. Highly recommendeded.
I have a number of pins that have lost their backs. I ordered these and so far they haven't budged off the pins. One of the pins had two posts, one of which had lost a back. The day after I put one of these new backs on, the other post lost its back. I popped another one of these on and so far so good. These things work!!
To date I have only used these for for 1 week. So far I love them, I have tried quite a few different pin backs and so far these work the best. Unfortunately I don’t have the luxury to wear utility uniforms where my name is embroidered, I have to wear class A’s every day, 12 hours a day. So far these keep my name tag stays where it is supposed to, and doesn’t begin to fall off. My only complaint is that they are a little thick and cause the uniform to raise a bit, however they have to be pretty thick to cover the whole pin. I definitely recommend these.
We have three kids in Scouts. The pins are always falling off their uniforms because the backs come loose, especially for our girls (our son doesn't have as many). I have pins I've been afraid to wear because I'm afraid to lose them, because they aren't able to be replaced. THESE ARE FANTASTIC! You have to actually tug a little to get the back off. I'm sharing this with the other scout families.
