Does anyone know where I can buy a dual SIM tray that actually fits as good as the original one? I bought one off of Sunsky-online but it won't fit in all the way, it stands out of the case by half a millimeter or so. Don't really get why that is, in terms of size it looks completely identical to the original one.
The plastic cover is a little bit longer. I file a little the part with a nile file (The two ends trying to respect the curvature) and now it fit perfectly.
Will be 0.1 mm not more.....
@dgardel what a pleasant surprise, it was indeed actually quite easy once I knew what I had to do, thanks for the hint!
I just got mine from Sunsky and it's absolutely not worth it. Not only do you need to sand down the edges like you guys said but the rubber that supposed to be on the inside to provide some water resistance is actually just 3D printed and painted plastic. Honestly anyone who wants dual sim try finding another source because these scammers are going to get your phone wrecked.

Has anyone used this case? I bought the kickstand case and after 3 weeks the bottom half of the kickstand broke off. I was thinking of getting the credit card case because in L.A. we have these things called Tap cards for bus passes. You just tap it onto a sensor and it'd be easier for me to tap my phone and put the card in the slots. Is the case fine? Is the plastic between the slots and the back of the thick or just right for sensors to maybe reach it?
Sorry for writing so much!
Thank You.

I don't know about those cases but that's a great idea! I wouldn't mind having one for a pay pass debit card. They work on the same concept.

i have the case mate for the mt4g. it hold up to 3 cards. works amazingly. not sure about your bus pass though
I've used that case since December of last year. It's a really nice case and it holds 2 cards, but I managed to fit one more, lol. As far as the Tap card goes, I'm not sure. Never tried it. I always had the Tap in my pocket. Not so sure if it'll work since it is a little thick.
I have one really convenient
Where did you guys find this case with credit card slot?
please link.
^google "casemate mytouch 4g"
I love mine, had it on since I bought phone last year. It is only good for 2 cards though, I have found 3 makes it too tight to pull them out. It has literally saved my phone from a lot of damage.

Planning on picking this up at local TMO store today after work. They have em on sale for $15, and my best skins ever is peeling off, so I figured why not? I like the idea of the card holder...any more updated reviews on this case? Does it protect decently? Not too bulky?
UPDATE in case anyone reads this thread: The $15 price was only for online TMO, in-store was still $35. But I wound up getting it on Amazon for $10
Quick review: Love the case. It adds a little bulk to the back of the phone (due to the slot for cards), but not much - and I consider it worth it because I can fit: my drivers license, my bank card, my metro pass, and my gym key card all in the space provided; which means I don't have to carry my wallet around, so the slight bump in the back of the phone is worth it to me. (Side note that makes this case more beneficial: there's growing evidence to support that carrying a wallet in your back pocket can lead to serious back problems).
I'm thinking I want to pick an extra one up, the damn thing is so small. Does Nokia sell them?
Wouldn't iPhone's SIM tray key work as well? You can pick those up for pennies.
A slightly straightened small paper clip works great too.
You can get genuine Nokia ones - the part number is 9906582.

Ever have one of those 'duh moments. I was looking at my phone....and noticed the hole for sim tray. I was thinking...dam....thats huge. wait....where the hell is the tray. I started flipping the phone over, looking for the tray....I couldn't find it.
...I forgot to take my bumper case off....
Here is my case desing. Is there anyone who can make this case available on the market
i like the idea..
Isn't there anybody who owns or knows someone owns a case manufacture company.
I don't want anything except a sample case.

Great concept, flawed product.
#1- The flap will be loose, so it needs to be secured. Best way is for a Magnet link.
#2- Placing your cards on the outer side means more chance of opportunistic theft
#3- Even adding one credit card will make the case thicker. Its usually not a problem, but since they will be "stacked" the inner side will get thicker in some areas and not in others.
This creates a loose "touch point" of the inside flap and the screen.
(eg/ Apple's Smart Cover, imagine the middle being quite thick and the borders shallow - it wouldn't touch properly).
I do like the idea of combining your phone + wallet into one package, but its not really theesable. Firstly, it will make the NOTE too bulky, and its already stretching out some pockets. Secondly, the amount of storage is low on the package. A wallet will hold more contents.
I personally have a skinny wallet with a ~3 credit cards and half-dozen business cards and ofcourse paper money. I place it in my ass pocket, phone goes alone to front right pocket... I tend to multitask easiest this way.
Would've got this but, I don't like leather and I want a pouch where my phone slides out, not stuck to the case. Also, no room for a usb host cable.

I'm surprised I didn't see this question already when I searched. Maybe I am blind.
I want to get a One X (or maybe a One X+ depending on price and release date), I have been dragging my feet because I swap phones often (I have a really old Nokia GAIT phone that pop my current SIM into so I can I take that phone with me out on my JetSki so I won't ruin a good phone and I keep my teeny Aria in my bag for when my Inspire battery dies).
I have seen adaptors for sale online and I've seen videos how to make adaptors, but I have seen mixed reviews on them. Does anyone here have personal experience?
Thank you.
The two SIMs are the same thickness but the adaptor has to increase that, so you get mixed results depending on how the SIM fits into the phone and how much space there is.
I tried several before finding one that worked in my phone.
Like the poster above me said, it depends on the adapter and phone. I bought a cheap one from a local shop for a couple of dollars, looks very similar to those found on eBay, it has a very thin plastic layer where the micro SIM fits, so doesn’t add much thickness. Has worked fine with the few devices I tested so far (2 phones and a USB mobile broadband modem). With one of the phones it was a very tight fit, but managed to push it in and take it out. but be careful not to put too mush pressure, otherwise you might not be able to get it out.
When you cut your regular sim down to a micro sim, save the pieces and just tape it back to together. Worked fine for me. Make sure you use a strong tape though, otherwise you'll have pieces of sim card stuck in your slot.
Go to Vodafone (or your local carrier's store) when I went back to regular SIM, all I had to do was ask, and they gave me a free adapter. Worth asking
Otherwise, I think they go for 50 cents or maybe 1 euro at your local electronics store.

That's exactly the kind of concerns I have. Can either of you recommend what worked for you?

Presumably a new phone would come with the proper SIM so I wouldn't have to cut mine (I have a small stack of old ones from every new phone purchase). But even if I did have to cut my own, I'd rather try to avoid the tape idea because of that exact reason.

I just wandered into a local phone accessory store and told them I'd buy one if it worked, she wasn't pleased but by about the third one we got one that fitted.
My microsim came as a pop out from a normal size sim and can just be placed back to work as full size sim
Anyone know here to order a pin that would fit the N5? I sold my N4 and gave them the pin from my N5. I ordered some from Amazon that were for an iPhone thinking it would be the same size but it is to big. I didn't see any on there for Android devices.....
You're not a seamstress i take it, but any needle will do the trick.
i just used a paperclip
A small paperclip, a staple, the end of a small safety pen, a piece of .7 pencil led.
All of those will work
A staple or a small paper clip works for me....so no worries...you can also try...

he sold his n5 pin with n4 :silly:
some of the holes are pretty small. i tried paper clips and even a number 60 drill bit on my brothers one x and they were all too big. the needle just felt wrong as i don't know what i'm poking at and it can be hard to put good pressure... the solution.. a guitar string!!!
Try using a bigger or heavier gauage sewing needle, but be careful as you need to push a bit hard for the micro-Sim holder to pop out or get released - or risk scratching the case's coating (especially for the black ones)

You could try contacting LG. They may be of little help however... Next best option would be to search ebay for "sim ejector tool". It's not the round plastic thing LG includes, but it will poke your SIM hole the way LG intended and it's cheap. You can buy 50 of them for 4 bucks. That leaves you with 1 for SIM ejectin' and 49 for throwing at your enemies.
I had so much trouble opening the sim tray with that stupid pin it just bent on me.a snap on pick tool did the job for me.
