just bought 10 pieces from www.mishu-things.com also. hope they work out well. i'm currently travelling with 20 sim cards each taped back into their original holder and kept in a 1.8" samsung hard drive case - the hard drive case is getting too small to cope with the card volume, and i'm hitting at least 3 new countries in the next 3 weeks

Yay! Finally found a solution to my stack of sim cards. Looks like I'll be getting the Mitsu one.

+1! Shame, though, it doesn't have a pocket for the cut down iPhone 4 SIM. I'm just praying my cut down SIMs will not fall out of it.

I tape mine in back of my passport

with scotch tape. They are secure and I always have my passport when I get to the next country to switch. I also tape a $50 bill and $20 Euro note back there for emergencies and write the calling card number and pin on a sticky note for making calls from a pay phone.

Doesn't those sims expires after a few months of not using it or not putting credits?

Just remember to put the minimum amount every 6 months or so. Keeping the credit active can cost some money but just keeping the number active not so much.

I use small plastic self-sealing bags, about 1" by 1.5", with a little slip with the actual phone number of the sim card.

This thread is a little dated, but the dealextreme information in Bence_Coronation's post is spot on. I ordered 10. Thanks for the info!
