SIM/micro-sim carrying case
 
Can anyone recommend a good way to carry a few micro-SIM cards?

I have 3 for my iPad and have to believe there is some sort of case/insert that I can use to keep them organized and safe in my bag.

Any ideas?


Thanks

Matt

This is what I use, it will carry five micro-sims and the the tool required to open the sim tray.

If you want a decidedly non high-tech way to store SIMs re-purpose a case for gel breath strips that can hold several SIMs. Plus your SIMs can now smell minty fresh as well!

I have been doing exactly that for at least 3 or 4 years and it has served me well. Interesting to come across others doing the same.

It can be a little difficult to get them out if overstuffed so I try not to keep more than four in such a case.

+1 Small and light enough to fit in jacket pocket or the side pocket of my shaving kit. SIMs are safe and protected from damage.

I just use an older SD or CF card case, they snap shut and are clear so you can see what is in them.

I use these as well. Very cheap and it slides into one of the credit card slots in my wallet, so it's easy to carry around.

I just use a Ziploc bag.

I got this case from Case Logic, where you can fit in SD cards, Sony Memory Sticks and SIM cards as well. I couldn't find it in their website but its more like this here

+1. There's room for the removal tool as well. Works great.
