I have multiple sim cards and am trying to find a keyring or flat credit-card-sized holder that will let me phisically slot 4 or more sim cards into it and put them in my wallet (or on a keyring) I am NOT after a sim card backup unit or 8-in-1 card; as my cards change depending what country I am visiting. I never store my phone numbers in my sim card they are stored on my phone with a backup on my PC.
I also am NOT looking for a Dual sim back or battery as I have tried them and dislike them, I simply want to carry my sim cards around with me without losing them.
surely someone must have made a thin credit card sized holder that lets you click your phone sim cards into it and put it in your wallet? I have spent many hours Googling and only found one keyring sim holder with no price and a 100 minimum order size.

Never seen 1. Though i keep a spare sim in with my coins. It has been there for over a year and has no damage!

I've never seen a multiple wallet sized SIM holder either. perhaps you should design one
Indeed i've had one in my wallet with my coins as well for months, it's still undamaged and to me was an easy and logical place

Just put then into a credit card section of your normal wallet.
or make a little pouch out of paper or card ( fold one and glue 3 sides and leave one side open) and then you can put the sims in there and keep the pouch in a credit card section or the notes section of your wallet.
Or keep the pouch in your pocket (make a little thing so it closes? )

OK I have taken a swipe top-up card and drawn around my sim cards, cut this section out and put sticky tape on the backside, make sure you stick the sim cards down with the connector side up (away from the tape)
now I can simply stick my various sim cards into the cutout and the tape holds it in place securely, just be careful when pulling the cards off the backing tape when you want to use them.

@Madbob....nice invention
Just like how you get the sim card int he first place
Posted by MadBob
I would have prefered a bought gadget
but it will do the job nicely, I can simply replace the sticky tape when the cards have been switched about or it gets lots of wallet fluff on it. now watch out for the shortage of swipe top-up cards
P.S. don't use your credit card for this

hey thats cooll.. but i like to keep it in my credit cards section...
Posted by plasmadog
i think the coins section of the wallet is best, cos its easily accessed.
maybe someone can design a keychain that can hold your car keys as well as sim cards.
Posted by MadBob
This was the onw I found first but it is on a manufacturers site 100 minimum order and I cannot find it retail.

Got the same problem, multiple sims for different countries, so after a lot of searching I came with a simple solution, A zipped mini bag with 4 divisions. Maybe is not as fancy as the keychain, but I've had it for almost a year now and works perfect, and easily fits on your wallet.
The bag alone with the divisions.
Now, the bag with four sims.
You can see how easy it fits on your wallet.

@MadBob, what site and how much is 100?
Posted by mixin
You need to get one of those Extra thin ice cases. Or whatever thin minty strips that melt on your tongue products you can get your hands on. The cases are ideal for putting sim cards in* and they come out so fresh.
* I haven't actually tested this, and they may not fit.

Thats a good idea @Mixin, ill get one on the way to school 2moro...
Posted by absinthebri
Mix, I was wondering about that, too, but couldn't find a box to test it on. I was also thinking about various memory card holders. An SD box is too big. A Memory Stick sheath holds 2 SIMs nicely and 3 at a push. The sheaths could be stuck to a top-up card in rows.

@whatevahisnameisthatpostedbeforethispost got me thinking, what about the duo to normal mem stick thing?
Push it in all the way and it holds, (Ive shook it like mad), put a hole in one, and spary it colour of your chiose, and u will be laughing!
Posted by mixin
I also used to have a spare T66 that i butchered to put a keyring on. Would put my spare sim in there and put it on my keys. Meant i could have both sims on me
Posted by djpowelly
Mixin, your idea also works!
Posted by govigov

esato should order the sim holders with their logo on it and sell them on the site. Somebody should tell laffen. I think that would really help the shope and solve the bulk order issue.
Posted by dflite
I have designs for this because I also am like MadBob. Multi SIMs but not looking for a battery cover. Does anyone know where I can get my product created? I have seen a multi SIM case on eBay. Here is the pic.
My idea is much smaller though.

..or u can just put it under the cover of ur phone! Come on...
Posted by djpowelly
I actually made one of those things @MixiN was on.... look!
Posted by Asterix
That looks nice, is one of those mint cases?, gonna try it...
Posted by Residentevil
Great ideas peeps.
Posted by djpowelly
Yep, a mint box, with a hole and stickers
