"Looks like you lost your sim tray ejector"

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

Raz keeps track of mine

I have the whole box. Because you know, it might be needed sometime :P

I need them for work so I got a fancy keychain one

Just keep it in the box the phone came in with all the warranty documentation. I've never lost one of these

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.

or a hoarder

I taped mine inside the cell phone case.

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.

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

I have the ifixit screwdriver kit and one of the bits is a Sim card ejector. Does it count ?

Yes, I keep them in the box.

Oh I for sure still have at least 10. But finding them when I need them is a whole other story

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.

I have one in my wallet and one on my keychain.

Like seven a drawer somewhere. I don't know where though

Yeah. I have a Nintendo DS game box (still with the original game) where I keep such tiny things. Including various SD card adapters.

I still have like eight of those. I bought some smart devices a while ago that all had them for the reset hole, so I’m stocked up for life.

I have more than one. The key is the word somewhere.

I can confirm that this is false

on my keychain with a set of handcuff keys and some earplugs lol

You only need it when setting up a new phone. So once you put the card in, you put the tool back in the phone’s box and just stick that in a closet.

So I’m asking… how CAN you even misplace one of those?

A paperclip works fine.

I bought a bag of 20, stash them all over the place.

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 two, and I know exactly where they are. If GPS were more accurate, I could give you the GPS coordinates for each of them.

I still have the box for my phone with the SIM remover still in it lol

Multiple ones.

I have mine under my phone cover. Got sick of losing them all the time when I needed one. Since I put it under the cover, I've only needed it about two times. (Under my cover for over a year).

I have a small zip bag of 100+ of these in a drawer. Sometimes you gotta pop out a SIM card. Other times you gotta hit a pinhole reset button to fix a rogue router. In a pinch, they're also a good shiv or shank.

I keep one in my wallet.
