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

      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.

      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

    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.

    Wait aren’t those ADHD therapeutic help made so you can feel good about losing something that easily replaced by a paperclip for once instead of losing something actually important like your keys ?

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

      Same. And in the past decade plus of using smartphones, I’ve never had to open the slot except to install the SIM card for the first time. Why do I even keep it around?

          Then don’t buy a stinkin’ apple device. It’s that simple.

          Hate them for what they are. A worse Microsoft.

          I will start using esim the moment they are cheaper then normal simcards. But as long i must pay extra to not get a card (?) i will never switch.

            I’ve seen a carrier charge for Sim cards, although I would personally still pay for the convenience of not having to figure out esim and if esims can be transferred between phones without any internet.

    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!
