LINEGEAR Japan Corner, Q&A, latest update

Would be cool if Linegear logo is incorporated into each rubber piece since they're world's apart in quality compared to other after market rubbers

You mean like Walleva does?

I'll leave that for @Linegear Japan to decide. Would be cool if there's branding on them in some shape or form. As mentioned earlier it'd no doubt help retain the resell value because it gives assurance to prospective 2nd hand owners that they're real Linegear rubbers and not some foobar brand

Again, aside from the brand name, the text made in Japan will more than assure the X-Metal value even though it is replacement rubber, it will lick a$$

I believe made in Japan stamping on rubbers may cause issues as once installed, it'd imply the xmetal frames are made in Japan. I believe it's for this reason that Oakley stopped stamping "made in usa" for lots of their replacement rubbers like Flak Jackets

I assume you meant "kick a$$"?

IMO being made out of silicone, LG's rubbers are pretty distinctive by feel...

 

[THE X-MAN]

Agreed....... Plus the raised text will stick better to your skull

I like the idea of the LG logo on them, but as Kronin says, it's pretty to tell they're LG by the feel of them.

 

[Linegear Japan]

Thanks you all for the excitement ... Well, there is a cost increase to the making of the mold if we inscribe the "Linegear logo or Made in Japan" on the rubber.

But we have some surprise for R2 earsock... Stay tune in the next 3 months

Yep, darn smartphone auto correct...

LG is distinguishable but the raised text make it pretty, c'mon we all love the raised text of OEM rubbers right? (except of course in Jordan Romeo where the plain earsock makes it more elegant)
