Choose Your Backing (And Why It Matters)
Not all pinbacks are created equal.
Here’s the deal: every pin comes standard with two black rubber backs. They're soft, secure-ish, and fine for casual wear. But if you're planning to wear your pride on the daily—or somewhere it might get bumped or jostled (hello, backpacks, jackets, and dance floors)—you might want to upgrade.
Rubber Backs:
✔️ Comfortable
✔️ Easy to remove
❗ Best for low-risk wear (like pin boards or light use)
Locking Backs (Upgrade Option):
✔️ Seriously secure
✔️ Locking clutch that stays put
✔️ Great for bags, jackets, lanyards, or parade-ready wear
❗ You’ll need a little extra time to attach/remove them (but it’s worth it)
TL;DR:
Rubber for chill vibes. Locking for don’t-mess-with-my-pin energy.
