These would look wicked awesome if they were printed with the game-specific playfield line diagram. Oh yeah, those pesky IP rules would probably apply though. 
Good luck with this initiative, OP!
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:Nice Job! I like the product and the clean lines when used across multiple games!
(Im too much of a cheap bastard though, I use the Free Harbor freight moving blankets that cover the rails and side art)
Best of Luck!
Even though you have your own covers, your support and positivity is very much appreciated 
I use themed blakets or towels for my games, but they like to slide off from time to time. I think I might have to get these to put on the glass and then my towels and blankets wont slide off! lol
Seriously though... I think I might!
Does it leave marks on the glass that you have to clean off when you remove it?
I used stuff that looks exactly the same it's used as a tool box drawer liner and when I took it off you could see every dot where it was touching the glass like little smudges.
Hate to have to clean the glass every time you remove it.
Quoted from Mitch:Does it leave marks on the glass that you have to clean off when you remove it?
I have had one on my Judge Dredd for over a week now, have not had any issues or needed to clean after removing it. It does not have the sticky texture like a lot of tool box liners have but it does grab the glass well so it wont slide off.

The tool drawer liners typically are permeated, at least mine are. These appear to be solid through and through. Are the dots you're experiencing from the mat itself, or debris getting in the little holes of the liner?

That's great to hear I might have to get some to use when doing repairs.

No it's from the material like if you put a suction cup on a window.
I hear these ones dont do it though so I might have to try it out. Would be great for storing tools while working

See post #39
I would consider getting one. It would protect the glass of the machine adjacent to the one i'm working on when I put tools on it.
This is a great idea!!!! Also remember,PAGG in Dixon is right around the corner!! Bring some,B looking for ya!!!!!
Quoted from Aniraf:How does someone purchase them?
We released this product with our prototype model and introductory pricing so we could get feedback on how it can be improved. We have received lots of great comments already and will resume sales with our new and improved version soon. We will be sure to post pictures as soon as it is ready!!

We have already marked it down on our calendars. Hoping to ramp up production so we can be at the show with a stack of these ready to go!!
2 weeks later
Just curious if anyone received theirs yet? I did not order one but wanted to and wanted to see what people thought of the product.
Any reason these aren't cut to cover the lockbar and overlap the side rails to the full edge? Seems like it would provide some protection to the tops of the rails when folding down the back box, and when setting tools down you can easily end up hitting the lock bar and scratching it.
Quoted from Hayfarmer:If you cut to protect lock bar and cabinet, how much would they be?
As long as we have enough material to cover the width i don't see that it would be any extra cost because we trim off the excess anyways. It would just take a little longer at first to get the the larger mats sent to the logo shop and back because we have only been making the standard cut.

It would offer extra protection with the rails and lockdown bar covered, I personally just always thought they were more aesthetically pleasing resting in-between the rails and lockdown bar.
Quoted from Only68s:Here are some pics of the new logo design that we have been working on. We should have a solid date by tomorrow evening when we will be able to start shipping out again.[quoted image][quoted image]
Looks great
Quoted from PtownPin:Nice looking product...how much are these?
Thank you! They are $18.99. We ran the first day at an introductory rate just to see if there was interest in the product. We were able to get some feedback from a few folks locally and on Pinside and we moved forward with a new stlye logo.
Quoted from Pinshield:We have processed a few orders through our Pinside shop, It appears we no longer have the issue with the checkout that we had initially.
Is the shop online?
I agree that they look better sitting between the rails and lockbar, but protect more by covering them. I would probably opt for the better protection over cosmetics personally. Either way, I am probably down for 3 of them. 2 widebodys and a standard.
Logo would be really cool, but wouldn't this create licensing issues? I kind of like the generic cover. That way its not tied to a specific game.

My logo, not the game’s logo

That's correct, licensing is an issue but we think it would be a worthwhile investment. We will update you as we get more information.
Let’s say you wanted it to say Jurassic Park or any other newer game it would be in violation of copyright?
If it was your first or last name or the name of your business or arcade it would be ok?
Too bad. It would be nice to have the name of the game on each.
I ordered. How long before you start shipping? No hurry. Just asking.

I think game specific art does not look good in a row of multiple pins...when they all look the same its such a clean look

Movie titles arent copywrite protected...they can be trademark infringements, but as long as you arent using fonts or logos, probably ok.

We will receive our shipment back with the new logo no later than Saturday. If it comes in before noon then we will ship all pending orders out Saturday. If we receive them after noon on Saturday then all orders will be shipped out at 9 am on Monday morning. Starting next week we will begin shipping all orders out every Wednesday and Saturday. Thank you everyone for your patience and for your support!
I'm assuming these are shipped rolled up? How is the memory when unrolled? Also, how is storage when you have people over? Do you just lean them up against the wall or something?
I just like the idea that I wouldn't have to clean the glass every weekend when I have people over.

Quoted from Spyderturbo007:I'm assuming these are shipped rolled up? How is the memory when unrolled? Also, how is storage when you have people over? Do you just lean them up against the wall or something?
Correct, they are shipped rolled up. When you unroll the Pinshield for the first time just lay it out on a flat surface with the rolled edges facing down and it will flatten itself back out in about an hour.
They are looking better with every picture!
Two questions, if you dont mind. Are their any plans to have a product that drapes over the rails, and covers/protects cabinet art?
Regardless of above, do you have a prepacked amount/quantity that makes sense to offer?
ie, you receive 24 in a box, so selling 24 at a time, by putting a label on the box, as well as say dozen pricing?
(Maximizes shipping too.)
Thanks! I like what you have made very much!

First of all thank you! We really like how the new logo turned out as well
At this time we don't have the option of getting a big enough sheet to cover the top and sides of the machine in one piece. We could cut 2 pieces that would be able to drape over the sides and we could send a couple of adhesive backed hooks with the roll so that it could be attached on the bottom of the cabinet and keep the material taut. Not sure how great that would look though 
All of our PinShields are measured/cut by hand and sent to a local printing shop. We do offer a volume discount which we have in place with a local pinball retailer/repair shop here in Bakersfield. Shipping would be actual cost, we wouldn't need any handling fees or anything like that. Send us a PM with the quantity you have in mind and i'm sure we can work something out.
