    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!

    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.

    I received all 3 of mine and am very happy with the quality and fit. While I will still use my towels and throw blankets that are themed with my pins, these go down under them and actually keep the towels and blankets from sliding off which they had a tendency to do. And when I am working on one of my pins, I remove the towel or blanket on the pin next to it and I have a nice padded, no slip surface to put my tools and parts on. Very happy with my purchase!

    Quoted from Pinshield:

    Thanks again calf demon and if you decide you want more in the future I’m in Santa Clarita once a week. I could just drop them off and save shipping!

    I sent you a PM a few days ago... Check your messages when you get a chance.

    If you like to have your pins uncovered all the time so you can see them, then it doesn't make sense. If you like to keep your pins covered to protect from light, dust, cats, whatever.. then it makes perfect sense. Many like to cover their pins when not in use, many like to keep them uncovered. Neither side is going to agree... Who cares? The mats are great if you have a use for them. Some people's uses are different than others. They look great AND they are very useful as a protector when working on a pin next to it.

    Mod idea I am giving away for free because I don't have the time or means to make them. Someone make custom Pinshield logo stickers (just the shield) that can be printed with a game name or abbreviation. Then the sticker can be applied to the shield on the Pinshield, making it custom for that game. It would help when you have a bunch of them off and you want to put them back on the same games that you took them off of (some fit certain games better than others).

    It could be a simple white shield shaped sticker with WOZ or AFM in it. Or you could actually do custom backgrounds from that particular game and the acronym in it. Whatever you decide and how artistic you want to get. But this way, you could identify your mats to your game. And when you sell a game, if you want to keep the pinshield and use it elsewhere, its as easy and switching out a sticker.

    Whoever makes them would mostly need a way to print out the custom shaped stickers, and then stockpile a bunch of custom art, or fonts, or however you wanted to do them on their computer. And then just print out the stickers as they are ordered.

    Anyway, I would be a buyer for 5 of the stickers...
