Post by: VC on March 17, 2009, 07:51:47 pm: theyre brass underneath, but don't pay that price though!! you should be able to find them for a hell of a lot less. i've been looking at .:R related ones and more than half that cost

they do wear though, clashing around in your pocket so they dont last forever. still cool though :happy2:

Post by: Alexander on March 17, 2009, 08:06:03 pm: yeah they should really be made of gold for that price! any ideas on where to source one cheaper?

Post by: cmdrfire on March 17, 2009, 08:17:22 pm: I got mine from some dude for US$10 including shipping... at the time was a hare over Ã‚Â£5 for the pair. His website no longer exists though...
Mine's lasted alright, a bit dead now though. Will swap with the second one I got soon.

Didn't buy it from your ebay seller - I only got one, but it wasn't too bad and arrived quickly.

Post by: wwan on April 23, 2009, 10:57:17 pm: I am the maker of these badges. They do fine with flat objects such as coins but not well with other keys. Mine lasted over a year in my pocket with coins and a lighter. I only sell them in pairs, there is another seller selling them in singles. Mine are custom moulded, so the chrome outlines sticks out from the paint and protects the paint from flat objects. The logos on the other ones are flat and printed on and can be easily scratched.

the set on the EOS came from you dude :happy2:

Post by: wwan on April 29, 2009, 12:59:34 pm: I never put the EOS one in production. There was zero demand. I only made 5 as prototypes.

These are much better.

Post by: danishmkvgti on April 29, 2009, 07:20:46 pm: Here you go, i just got mine today, it's a looker, the best part is that the unlock button is lower than the others, so it's no so prone to get activated in the pocket.

BTW free shipping worldwide :jumping:
