“I was nervous the magnets wouldn’t be strong enough with how many times I have to badge in throughout the day, but the magnets are very strong and don’t move at all on my scrubs.”
A clip hangs your whole badge from the edge of your neckline, so every tap and every lean pulls it down. This holds your badge reel flat on your chest instead, right where you put it, and lets the reel do the moving.
- Stays on when you pull your badge to the scanner
- Your scrub top stops sagging
- No pins, no holes in your scrubs
- Snaps on in two seconds
- Holds through scrubs, fleece and light jackets
- Stainless steel that wipes clean
- 30-day money-back guarantee
How it works
- Backplate in. Slip the clear backplate inside your top, wherever you want your badge to sit.
- Bar on. Set the steel bar on the outside. Its two magnets snap to the backplate through the fabric.
- Clip your badge. Clip your badge reel to the bar. That’s it.
Size & materials
Front bar: stainless steel, about 1.5 in long and 0.25 in thick, with a strong magnet at each end. Backplate: a clear oval plate with two magnets that sits inside your top. Together they weigh less than a pen.
Safety: contains strong magnets. Not for anyone with a pacemaker, ICD or other implanted medical device. Keep it at least 6 in (15 cm) from a patient’s implanted device. Take it off before entering MRI. Keep away from small children.

Their badge hasn't budged since
What they told us after a few shifts.
“These are perfect for my nursing lanyard & badge! The magnet is super strong and stays put for my 12 hour shift!”

“Very strong magnet that holds when the badge reel is pulled- even for a long distance- even if the reel is extended for more than just a few seconds.”
- STEPHANIE J. ★★★★★
“The magnets hold the clip in place regardless of how hard or how many times you pull on the badge reel. I can't recommend them enough.”
- STEVEN ★★★★★7 Reasons Why
Why nurses are moving their badge to the Viva Harbor holder
1. Your scrub top stops sagging
A clip pinches the edge of your V-neck and hangs your whole badge from it. Add a loaded reel, and every lean over a bed pulls your neckline down.
The holder grips through the fabric and sits flat on your chest, so the weight rests on the bar, not on one pinch of your collar. Lean over a patient, crouch at the pump, chart standing up. Your top stays where it belongs.
No more tugging your top back up halfway through a shift.
30-Day Money-Back GuaranteeWear it on your shifts. If it doesn't hold your badge, email us and we'll refund you.
2. No more holes in your scrubs
Pin badges and alligator clips chew through fabric. A loaded badge reel drags your V-neck down by lunch.
One piece goes inside your top, one goes outside, and they grab each other through the fabric. No pin, and the weight sits flat.
- No pins poking through new tops
- No clips biting your collar
- No sagging neckline by noon
3. It stays on when you badge in
Clip your badge reel to the bar and pull it to the scanner as many times as you need. Two magnets lock the bar to the backplate, so the reel does the moving and the holder stays put.
Doors, the med room, the computer, the time clock: badge in, let go, keep walking.
4. On in two seconds
Slip the clear backplate inside your top. Set the steel bar on the outside and it snaps together on its own. Clip your badge reel to the bar and you're done.
Moving it is just as quick: higher, lower, onto your scrub jacket or your fleece. Your badge goes where you want it, not where the collar is.
5. A color for every set of scrubs
Silver, black, white, pink, teal and royal blue. Match your scrubs, clash on purpose, or grab a different color for each day of the week.
It also makes yours easy to spot when the whole unit has one.
6. Wipes clean between patients
Smooth stainless steel, no fabric strap, no cord soaking up whatever you walked through today.
One pass with an alcohol pad and it's clean. Take it off before laundry day: magnets and washing machines don't mix.
7. Nurses buy them for the whole unit
It usually starts with one. Then the charge nurse asks where you got it, then the night shift wants one, and the next order is for half the floor.
That's what the Buy 2 Get 3 FREE deal is for: pick a different color for every holder.
On the floor, every shift

Try it risk-free →Why does your badge keep pulling your top down?
You pull your badge out fifty times a shift. To open a door, get into the med room, log in, clock in. Every pull tugs on whatever it's clipped to.
Clipped to your V-neck, it drags the neckline down. On a lanyard, it hangs off your neck and swings into patients. On a pocket, it flips around and sags.
It was never the badge. It's where the weight hangs. A magnet behind the fabric moves it off your collar for good.
No more pulling your top back up
Badge in, let go, keep moving.
Your neckline stays put, and so does the badge reel you already love.
- STRONG MAGNETSHold through scrubs, fleece and light jackets
- NO PINSNothing goes through the fabric
- BADGE READYClip your badge reel right to the bar
- ONE-HAND PULLBadge in without unclipping anything
- STAINLESS STEELWipes clean and won't rust
- LIGHTER THAN A PENYou'll forget it's there
Why not just clip it to your collar?
Because on a V-neck, it doesn't work.
A clip on the neckline stretches it out and pulls it down every time you badge in. Lanyards hang off your neck, swing into patients and catch on bed rails, and some units don't allow them near patients at all. A pocket clip lets your badge flip around and drags the pocket down.
The holder keeps your badge flat, in place and off your collar. And it costs less than the next scrub top you'd ruin.

Do I need one if my scrubs have a badge loop?
Most loops are an afterthought. Too high, too low, or on the one top you never wear.
With the holder, every top gets a badge spot: your scrubs, your scrub jacket, a fleece, a t-shirt on a non-scrub day. Put it where you want it. Move it when you want.
No more picking scrubs just because they have a loop.
Why we made it
Every nurse we asked had a badge story. Most had several.
We heard the same ones over and over. Brand-new tops pulled out of shape by mid-morning. Holes from alligator clips. Lanyards swinging into a patient's face. Cheap magnetic clips that popped off the first time someone badged into the med room.
So we built a holder for one job: keeping a nurse's badge reel in place for a 12-hour shift. A stainless steel bar, a clear backplate behind your top, and nothing through the fabric. It doesn't swing and there's nothing to snap.
It's small. You'll still pull your badge from it fifty times a shift.

What nurses are saying
4.6Based on 375 reviews
I wanted a clip for my badge reel at work and was nervous the magnets wouldn’t be strong enough with how many times I have to badge in throughout the day, but the magnets are very strong and don’t move at all on my scrubs. Really not noticeable, fits my different badge holders very well. Definitely worth it!
I use this to hold my badge at work, I am a paramedic and work in the ER and I am always pulling at my badge to log on/off computer or in different doors. I am not worried at all about loosing my badge, magnets are very strong. Customer service is great, they helped with a lost order and replaced it. Will order again if I loose these ones I have.
I am a Medical Assistant and I have to wear a badge reel. I was very skeptical about buying these? Because I had already purchased a brand that was very cheap. These did not fail me at all. Not once has it come apart. When I have to pull my badge to badge in!!! I love them and will be buying more in the near future!!
I love this, I saw it on Tik Tok but they kept selling out so I bought it here instead and I’m glad I did, I use it for my badge and it keeps my badge in place and I don’t have to worry about my badge pulling my scrub top down. Love this!!
These clips are awesome. I use them to hold my retractable ID which is attached to a rather large and heavy badge reel (used to monitor hand washing). The magnets hold the clip in place regardless of how hard or how many times you pull on the badge reel. I can't recommend them enough. Buy them and you definitely won't be disappointed.
A nurse's dream. I wish I'd thought of this sooner in my 16 year career. Any scrubs I want and can wear my badge comfortably.
I had bought knock offs which just slid down my clothes when pulling on my badge to scan . they wouldn't even work on sweatshirts . happy to say ,this one is fantastic and the magnet worked through a thick sweatshirt
As advertised, the magnet is plenty strong. I love this thing - now I don't have to limit my scrub tops to only ones with built-in badge loops.
I absolutely love mine, I got so tired of my badge pulling on my scrub tops and my T-shirts, but NOW IT’S OVER! Thank goodness for this MAGNET.
Works really well for badge reel - can pull and badge in and out all day never comes apart until I use my hands to pull the magnet
I used to wear my name badge clipped to my shirt collar when we wear t-shirts at work. I hated that it left my collar stretched out and made me look a mess. I bought this item and it has made such a difference! No longer are the days of stretched out collars! This is a heavy duty magnet and can hold my name badge! I have to have 3 tags on my badge and this holds up to the weight! So glad I found this item!!
Highly recommend as a badge reel holder. Gone are the days my badge flings off my scrubs when I try to use it.
Very sturdy and super strong magnets. I love how it supports my badge reel without pulling my top downward.
These are perfect for my nursing lanyard & badge! The magnet is super strong and stays put for my 12 hour shift!
This works so much better than just the badge reel clip. Put it on your shirt or jacket and it doesn’t pull your shirt down. The magnet is very strong. I need more
Strong magnets keep my badge reel in place even when stretching it out to swipe badge several times each shift
very strong magnet. I use it as a badge holder. The magnet holds tightly when the badge is pulled for swiping doors. Highly recommend.
I use it for my badge reel for work, and it is the strongest magnet. Gets compliments on the pink color. Definitely think every healthcare girlie needs one.
This magnet works great! I keep it on my fleece lined scrub jacket so I can wear my badge on it. It’s never fallen off.
Bought this after I tried a different style holder. The previous fell off rather easily, but the magnet on this is very strong. I use it to hold my name badge and a pen. I am constantly pulling my pen off and this holder has never fallen off. I love it. It has replaced a lanyard that would catch on things and pull my neck down. I can't say enough about this product.
I love it. I use it to hold my badge at work. It makes my uniform a little more professional and I’m not stretching out the neck of my shirts or Scrubs. The only issue I have is…. If I wear dangle earrings, I’m getting stuck. My earrings stick to the magnet and I have to separate them during the day. lol 🤣
Works great ! I love that my badge reel is not hanging so low! Great idea for badges is strong !
I use them for holding my hospital ID badge and security tags, love that they are strong and stay put. No more pulling on the collar of my shirt!
I bought these for my badge and pens for work. I’m a mobile phlebotomist and my pens were always in my pocket and I hated it. I can put my badge on one and pens on the other and they don’t get mixed up in my pocket. The magnet is strong and sturdy.
I saw a Tiktok video of a nurse I believe who recommended this product for those who wear badges. I like that the magnet is very strong and that it keeps my badge in place all day. I used to have the issue of my badge turning around, but it doesn't do that anymore because of the way it's clipped on.
Love it ! VERY strong, doesn’t rip or wrinkle my scrubs and just holds it all right where it belongs! Excellent! Great product. Reasonably priced. Fast shipping! Well done!
Bought with the intent to use for a id.holder at the hospital, my badge reel stays put and I can move it anywhere on my scrubs its ideal and I nolonger have wrinkled up scrubs
I use the magnetic holder for my badge reel for work. It works great, easy to use and it keeps my badge in place. Recommend for healthcare workers to use for their badge reels.
This works great! Durable and strong. Will definitely save my tshirts I wear on the days I dont wear scrubs. Its light weight, easy to use and barely visible with badge on.
Scrubs often add the badge loop as an afterthought and frequently they are inconvenient. These fix that. Thank you!!!
My wife is a nurse and uses this to clip her badge onto. Use it everyday seems to work very well. The magnets are very strong.
Super strong magnet. Stays attached all shift. I use it to clip my badge reel to and it works perfectly
This allows me to wear my badge without destroying sweaters or gentle fabrics. Love it!
Amazing clip. I was hesitant to think that it was not going to hold my badge but it is so strong and sturdy. It can literally go on clothes, back packs, magnetic fridges, etc. it was not annoying to wear or take off. Pretty smart gadget!
These are great! Magnet is very strong. Now a bunch of my hospital colleagues are planning to get some…great badge roll holders!
I purchased this for work to have a place for my name badge and I love it!! The magnet is super strong and I now have a removable, designated place for my name badge! 😊
I love them!!! I actually use it as a badge holder. I saw this on an Instagram ad. I carry a lot of things on my badge, so even though the magnet is strong, my scrub top still sags with it.
I love them I can wear my badge anywhere I want to when in my scrubs❤️
I use this as a badge reel holder! 10/10
Amazing product keeps work badge secure
Great for a badge reel holder
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the magnet strong enough for a badge reel?
Yes. Clip the reel to the bar and pull your badge to the scanner as often as you like. The bar's magnets grip the backplate through the fabric, so the holder stays flat while the reel does the moving.
If your reel is loaded with a lot of extras, a heavier top (scrubs, polos, fleece) holds the weight best.
Will it damage my scrubs?
No. Nothing goes through the fabric. There's no pin and no clip, just the bar outside and the backplate inside. Take it off and your top looks like you never wore it.
How thick a top can it hold through?
Scrubs, t-shirts, polos, blouses, most fleece and light jackets. Very chunky knits or puffer coats can be too thick for the magnets to meet.
Does it work with my badge reel?
Yes. Alligator clips bite the bar, and swivel or belt clips slide over it. Wear it anywhere there is fabric: left or right side of your chest, a little lower on your scrub top, or on your scrub jacket or fleece.
Is it safe if I have a pacemaker?
No. Don't use it if you have a pacemaker, an ICD or any other implanted medical device. Strong magnets can interfere with them. Keep it at least 6 in (15 cm) from a patient's implanted device, and take it off before you go into MRI.
How do I clean it?
Wipe it with an alcohol pad or a disinfectant wipe. It's stainless steel, so it won't rust. Take it off before your scrubs go in the wash.
Can I mix colors?
Yes. In the Buy 1 Get 1 FREE and Buy 2 Get 3 FREE deals you pick a color for each holder, one by one. Mix them any way you like. Every holder counts toward the deal, whatever the color.
How fast does it ship?
Orders leave us within 24 hours on business days, and you get a tracking link by email. Delivery usually takes 5 to 12 business days depending on where you live.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Email us within 30 days of delivery and we'll sort out a refund on your first order. Our refund policy has the details.
I'm not a nurse. Will it work for me?
Yes. We built it around a nurse's shift, but it works for anyone who wears a badge: teachers, techs, pharmacists, office staff, flight attendants. If you badge in, it'll hold.
