Well - if we're rescusitating old threads anyway, I'd just like to point out I've graduated from the Listerine pack to a tiny mini-altoids tin.
Big enough to hold all the sims, along with the needle / sim removal poker tool thingy. Still only about as thick as five or seven quarters.

SIM card holder
I'm looking for a new SIM card holder to throw in my bag.
Right now, I have something similar to this:
https://www.amazon.com/Generic-Alumi...im+card+holder
I need to find something similar that holds more nano SIMs. The ideal item would hold ~8 nano sims and the removal tool, and be some type of hard case.
Anyone have any ideas? Everything I am seeing still has a mix of full size/micro/nano - those above nano are useless to me.

I have that perixx holder from 2 years ago and it's still working great. I see amazon says its out of stock but theres another one that's very similar.

I guess I can put nano sims in the larger slots - just worried they may slide out if the seal isn't great.
I prefer the hard cases for my backpack, also it's easier to use a label printer to print my number and stick it on the holder so that I can keep up with them.
Thanks for the input.

Once you get over paying 6 bucks for a piece of plastic, it's pretty nice. It comes with the ejector tool and a place to hold it, holds 6 nano SIMs snuggly in front, and also one credit-card sized item in the back, such as a SIM that hasn't been punched out yet (you can maybe fit 2 credit-card sized items if you stretch/force it)

Anyone try a mint tin box?
I bought a small tin of Altoids. It's about 2.5 x 2 x .6 inch.
Only thing to worry about is having the nano SIMs rattle around in there along with a SIM tray tool.

That should work; they're a little bulky, which is why I prefer the plastic containers from MicroSD cards, but there's nothing wrong with them. I doubt any amount of rattling will damage a SIM card and mint tins are typically quite solid.
