Be careful with the new pins from DVC they are great but the backs fall off.

Same as the backs on the interactive pins. My husband started me on the pin collecting while we were at Disney 3.5 weeks ago. After coming off Space Mtn the CM asked me if the pin in the seat was mine. Sure enough the back had come off my interactive pin and the pin was sitting in the seat. Thanks to the CM for calling me back. Anyways, I did go and buy the pack of 12 rubber backs for my pins. As soon as a new pin was bought the back was replaced.

I have worn the DVC pin since we received it and have not had any trouble with the back. It is a black rubber back. Maybe there are different ones out there.

I replaced the black rubber back with one of the mechanical metal ones from another pin. It now doesn't fall off like it did with the rubber back!

I lost the black rubber back of my pin. I am now using a metal clip from one of my DH's tie tacks. The only thing is now the pin spins a little, with the rubber one it didn't. DH has had no problem with his pin. He is extra careful now that he knows I lost my pin back.

Here is a link (http://64.225.125.24/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=116078) to an earlier thread on the pin backs. It has some suggestions.

I've been wearing mine since I got it and haven't had any problems with the black rubber back. It fits very snug.

I have been wearing mine since I received it and had no problems....until yesterday. I had put it on my fleece jacket and I guess the material was too thick. Thank goodness I only lost the back. I too have replaced the rubber back with the metal one. That seems to work better on thicker fabrics.
