Only Satan would design a hole that is smaller than the end of a bent paperclip when the entire purpose of the hole is to put something into it.
How else can you sell an iPoker 4X?
You’re still using the 4X? Lol, get yourself an 8Max and thank me later.
I did but I’m still saving up for the handle

An earring pokey works too, just wipe off any schmutz
is there a name for the superfine point ones?
I guess it’s called a SIM card eject pin tool, but you’ll usually find them in cell phone toolkits.
some are thicker or thinner than others. some phones have a superthin hole. so some ejectors or a paperclip won’t work (for some phones).
maybe the superthin variety is the most common variety out there. but i have a collection and they are nearly all thick.
there must be an everyday item that functions as a makeshift alternative.
Certain plastic toothpicks work.
I just realized that each phone comes with one and only one of SIM ejectors, and I have a lot of those in my drawer. I think I have a problem. -_-
You’re responsible for everything!!!
Most screw-driver kits like the IFixIt kits, include a sim-eject head.
Me too… and my phone uses an eSIM!
The chosen one!
I keep one on my keys since it’s useful for pushing reset buttons and things and if I really need to it even works as a screwdriver
Someone told me this a few years ago. Absolute pro life tip!
Does it ever poke you?
I kept mine on my keychain for the longest time until it got me right under one of my finger nails. The amount of times I’ve had to use it does not justify that trauma.
I tried doing it at one point, yes, frequently
Interesting, it never does for me. Maybe I’m just lucky or my sim tool is a slightly better shape
I have a lifehack for this:

Got it a 7 years ago, haven’t lost the ejector since… Even amazes myself everytime I need it and it’s still there… 😅 Before this mine usually didn’t last a week.

More like 7 years of occasional surprise it’s still there. 😅😂

Ngl, every time I go look for it out of need I totally expect it to be long gone. I might physically look at it every time I open my wallet, but it became so much part of the ‘background’ that I never actually see it at those times. 😅

That wallet has seen some serious shit.
Yeah, I urgently need a new one but I keep postponing and forgetting. 😅 It used to be a cheap fake leather one which looked cool, has a crocodile head on the outside in it, and just plainly looked cool. Now, 5 years later, all the leather, except for the crocodile head, has proven to be a thin layer that has come off over time and what remains is a completely exposed (again, except for the crocodile head) black rubbery underlayer. 😅 Oh, well, it cost me €5 or something, I guess 5 years was a good service at that price…
I’m very responsible
You should put them all on a keyring!
I noticed my phone battery bulging just yesterday. So I went and dug up the documentation that came with it to see if I could take advantage of the manufacturer’s warranty. No dice, but the sim card tray ejector thing was in with the user’s manual. So at least I have that. :/
Check out ifixit.com - your phone might be pretty repairable. It’s crazy that companies stopped making phones with replaceable batteries.
Not that much. . . . .

I have a Moonlander split keyboard that is programmable and uses one of these little things for its reset button. My only gripe with it is that they could have designed a place for it to slot into the keyboard itself since it’s very easy to lose it if it isn’t otherwise attached to something.
Why do you have to reset your keyboard, future boy?
The reset button is used to apply firmware changes. For this keyboard you can customize the keys to pretty much however you like. I have one of the thumb cluster buttons set to Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V for efficiency. It’s great for making changes to personalize your mechanical keyboard experience… but it requires that pin to make changes lol.
I like it since I can assign Enter to one of the left thumb cluster buttons, you normally can’t hit enter with your left hand on a standard keyboard layout.
Yay, what’s my prize?
You can now go on a resetting rampage
You can eject sims cards whenever you want.
Sounding
Hoarder status.
Finally being recognized after so many years of “why do you save that?”.
This is your moment!
Now what is that?
It’s a contraceptive device.
As someone who carries one everywhere, I can vouch for its effectiveness
SIM tray opener tool for smartphones. It’s pretty small
It’s a tool to remove the SIM card from a phone
You need one of these to swap out sim cards on mobile devices
Removed by mod
iFIXIT kits include a bit that lets you eject sim trays
Good. I don’t like sim trays. They’re small and flimsy and irritating and are easily lost. Not like here. Here everything is built-in and solid.
What if we’re sure it’s around here somewhere, just not sure where?
Mine is in a safe deposit box in Budapest. You can never be too cautious.
I just randomly found mine the other day.
I’m responsible for a lot of things
I mean, they fit on a keychain, which is fucking great; Sadly, they stab you through the pants pocket so they’re fucking rude.
I just upgraded mine from an old Apple one to a newer Pixel one, which has a sturdier loop on it.
I don’t know what in the hell I did, I have one of the solid circular round ones with a small hole in the back for the keychain. It’s been on my keys for ages. One morning I went to put my seat belt on and got a sharp stab. I pulled my keys out and it was bent 90° and I just the tiniest little bit of blood on it.
i usually grab a breadboard jumper wire and shove it in my sim card slot 😂
I am not responsible for most of the random stuff I own, but at least for that thing I found a good place. I keep it between the back of my phone and my phone case. I have to remove the case anyway to access the slot, and then it is just right there available.
I can always find a random thing to do it. It’s also possibly to pry it from the gap sometimes
