I just put it back in the box when I'm done

I have a stack of boxes in the closet, because I might need them someday

not whether you have it – it’s whether you know where it is

"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

Laughs in paper clip

I have like four or five of these.

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

Or, you know, a hoarding problem…

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

Yes, in my drawer of miscellaneous tiny things, next to pens, tiny screwdrivers, and a few old microsd cards.

it's within my phone's protection case, so i do have it right now. Also, anecdote, a random stranger on a bus was switching sim cards, and asked me if I have the tool, which I indeed I had!

It's good to finally get some recognition!

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 taped mine inside the cell phone case.

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

Yes, I keep them in the box.

or a hoarder

I keep one in my wallet.

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

I found a pencil holder I had in the 1990s. It has these little drawers for erasers and stuff. I was like "oh cool, I can fill the rest of these with my SD cards and USB sticks."

So, while cleaning my desk looking for those, I found one of these. I was like "I'm pretty sure I had at least 2 of these." ...I found three.

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.

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

I keep one on my key ring, never know when you need to pop in a burner sim.

I open so many tablets and shit at my work I have preferences on form. Samsung has the worst ones.

How about just messy? Occasionally I still find them laying around

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.

I have one in my wallet - they are quite handy for cleaning lint out when the phone charging port inevitably collects enough to be annoying.

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.

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

smug look of superiority

Ah Fairphone 5 life

I threw all of those away. I have paper clips, and those eject holes are intentionally designed to be the width of a bent paper clip.

Those things are just a less useful paper clip.

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.
