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
Laughs in paper clip
Finding the one that is small enough to pull off the job has been a pain. Recently switched to a new phone… And I struggled until I found
Just. The. Perfect. Paperclip.
And then I immediately dropped it between the center console and seat of my car.
I’ll find it eventually. One day.
True. Go one step smaller: A needle will do too (don’t ask me how I know)
Needle is pointy. Needle sometimes does not push button. Needle digs in and makes doubt and concern.
Needle may work, but requires dedication that causes anxiety. Needle maybe will break things inside and the only way to know for sure is to hit a very uncomfortable point of no return for the result.
Needle is danger maybe, and I hate the needle for that. But sometimes needle is necessary.
I open so many tablets and shit at my work I have preferences on form. Samsung has the worst ones.
or a hoarder
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
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!
I taped mine inside the cell phone case.
“Looks like you lost your sim tray ejector”
Like seven a drawer somewhere. I don’t know where though
I have three downstairs in the garage, now the real question is… Where in the garage tho.
I have one in my tech pouch
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
Just keep it in the box the phone came in with all the warranty documentation. I’ve never lost one of these
Raz keeps track of mine
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 have like four or five of these.
