Not sure if I explained it that well, but I tried!

Oh! I believe our newer badges come standard with these, they are really nice. The badge I borrowed most of last semester had a bubble guard on it and I'm glad it did - otherwise I would have lost it in Indianapolis.
I think it looks sort of like a small earring back, if CP2k's description didn't work for you.
