"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

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 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

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.

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

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.

The ones I have seen most recently are so thin and flimsy that they are worse at the job than a paperclip.

I usually find my thinnest allen wrench and use that.

In an electronics tool kit.

Mostly because the only time recall using that specific tool was when I got my Pixel 8, and that was shortly after release, so its been a minute.

I've got at least 2 on my desk. Both from my new phones ( the one I accidentally fried in a lake and the replacement I got ). They're both connected to some little piece of magnet strip that I have no idea where it came from.

One in my wallet at all times.

No, I have OCD and everything has its spot

I switch phone plans every few years, and I have no idea how esims work, so yes.

Absolutely not, lol; It's the opposite. I have a keychain one that I'm too lazy to remove. And it actually twists and gets caught in the holes on adjacent keys, so it's not like I never notice it!

I have a key holder with a fabric holder above it for random things. Like my checkbook for paying the gardeners, the mailbox keys, and this doodad is leftover from when I used to have a rechargeable front door camera doorbell.

I have one sitting on my fireplace mantle in a little dish. It's there to pop our Arlo doorbell off when it needs to come inside to charge.
