I have many of them. At least 4.

psycho_driver,

I have like 7 of these in a container next to me. I don’t think responsible is the word that would be associated with that behaviour.

PS - paperclips work fine for this purpose.

BCsven,
s_i_m_s,

IMHO the one in the middle is the most comfortable to use.

TwinTusks,

Damn, I have never seen any of these shapes before.

dyc3,

I used the pins on an Arduino to pop my sim tray because I didn’t have any paper clips near me. There are a lot of things you could use.

IDontHavePantsOn,

I always end up using my wife’s earrings.

Paper clip is better, these things are very flimsy, but also phones and Tablets don’t always come with them.

Funny, the one that came with my Galaxy is actually pretty sturdy.

That’s good, I’ve usually found the flat ones made with sheet metal are weaker and more bendable than ones made from steel wire, or just using the small sized paper clips. Which is problematic because I like to keep them in my bag in case I need to use them and if they end up bent up it’s not great.

I think the reason the ones I’ve gotten fared so poorly is because they’re aluminium as opposed to steel like the paper clips. Which always fair better in my bag than the flat stamped ones do.

The one that game with my S10e is surprisingly heavy; it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s made of steel. It does seem to be punched from sheet metal.

Blackmist,

Had to use a paperclip for mine. Didn’t even come with one.

notannpc,

I still have it and now phone is eSIM only. But I can’t bring myself to throw it out.

Mr_Dr_Oink,

Wallet, coin part with a zip to keep it safe. It sits next to a random quarter i was given as change (im from the uk and it was given in place of a similar looking uk coin) a silver 1 pence coin (apparently they are rare and worth about £60 but as if my lazy arse is gon a sell it (and who actually buys these things anyway?) Some guitar picks and a franc (defunct french currency)

abraxas,

Mother fucker. I have one of these that I’ve been playing with all week, swearing to GOD if I don’t put that shit away it’s gonna vanish.

I just put it away where it belongs so I don’t lose it.

PlasticPope,

I keep mine with the sim size converters and there’s prestik in it so as to keep it in place. But found paper clips to work perfectly well too.

lietuva,

I just use a paperclip. Most offices/shops/pharmacies deal with papers and have paperclips nearby. Keep in mind if youre traveling :)

flop_leash_973,

I have something like 100 of these in a draw in my home office. Along with a straightened paperclip as a backup.

affiliate,

i have s few dozen straightened paper clips and then a couple of those hidden away for the particularly stubborn sim trays

HurlingDurling,

I have at least 6 in my office right now, and another 2 or 3 around my house, and one in my truck…

I will not be taking any questions at this point.

I do tech support, I always have one on my keychain.

skqweezy,

Ngl that’s pretty smart to keep one on a keychain, better than keeping it in the original box

hdgdlfiuebdtus, (edited )

I’ll adapt the keychain thing

shiveyarbles,

I would manage to jab tf out of myself

I used to keep one on my keys back when I worked at a carrier store selling phones. Made life so much easier then.

In fact, the actual inserted part broke off years ago (and I haven’t done phone sales in over a decade), but the main part of the body is actually still attached to my keyring. I haven’t even thought about that until this post, actually.

The dude who sold me my latest smartphone this year had one long fingernail. I kinda thought it was a coke nail until he applied my screen protector and used the nail to separate the plastic backing from it. Aha!

I studied classical guitar in high school and since I could never keep my real fingernails intact I always had three plastic nails going on my right hand. That was a tough one to explain to the local bullies.

Laticauda,

I still have this, but I have adhd so I have no idea where it is whenever I actually need it.
