“Looks like you lost your sim tray ejector”
Raz keeps track of mine
My kit:
I generally prefer the clear toothpick - easier to hold, came with a designer cupcake once (and I keep the flag on it because it’s otherwise easy to lose a clear toothpick), generally better if the button is deeply recessed.
The paperclip phone tool is kept on the keychain between the USB micro card reader and the wallet sized SD card holder
I have the whole box. Because you know, it might be needed sometime :P
I have like four or five of these.
Yes, in my drawer of miscellaneous tiny things, next to pens, tiny screwdrivers, and a few old microsd cards.
I just put it back in the box when I’m done
I have a stack of boxes in the closet, because I might need them someday
Yupppp; same here.
I think the Librem 5 (may’ve been another phone) came with a hole to attach to a keychain so it’s the only one that I constantly have on me solely because someone thought to design for it.
I never throw out boxes, because I know as soon as I’m unable to get it back I’ll need it for something.
I keep one in my wallet along with a safety pin, hairpin, hair tie, and a twist key from an old fashioned roll top anchovy tin.
Any one of these things have come in handy a surprising number of times.
tied it around my keychain because SIMs are still much more handy than esim. Phone service where I live charge a fuck ton of money everytime you re register with the QR.

How often do you change sim (asking for a friend)
its not really changing sim but more like changing phone. I have the big S24 Ultra but sometimes I just want something smaller and easier to carry, so I swap to a Zenfone 10.
not whether you have it – it’s whether you know where it is
I usually flip it to justify excessive organization: “if you can’t find it when you need it, you don’t actually own it.”
wise words
I need them for work so I got a fancy keychain one
Question: Is using paperclips a worse alternative? I’ve found them useful for those sim pinholes but im not entirely sure if its good practice
It’s just a piece of metal that you use to push in another piece of metal, the same as the sim tool. They don’t cause any damage and are fine to use.
Paperclips are just fine, they’re just not as ergonomic / easy to hold while pushing
That looks quite sophisticated for the purpose, I love it. If a phone repair man pulls out one of these, the alarm in my head to make the good coffee will most certainly go off.
I bought a bag of 20, stash them all over the place.
I taped mine inside the cell phone case.
That’s honestly brilliant.
Oh. Thanks. That made me feel good. Don’t hear that often.
I am the distributor of cell phones where I work. I have a box of these. They’re also useful to reset UniFi and other networking equipment.
I have one in my wallet - just in case someone wants to steal my phone and I somehow have time to remove my SIM and SD before they take it… optimistic I know
