“Looks like you lost your sim tray ejector”

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 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.

Raz keeps track of mine

probably

I have like four or five of these.

I still have the box for my phone with the SIM remover still in it lol

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 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.

Multiple ones.

I have the whole box. Because you know, it might be needed sometime :P

I used to work for a cell phone “fixer” place. The quotations are because the hardware and software on iPhones is so locked down. Usually we would get iPhones that broke in a way that was out of warranty. Their warranty sucks. You will pay for your iPhone until it dies. Then you will pay for a new one. Android based devices followed suit. Neither had this problem starting out.

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
