Sim Card Cutter

Sim Card Cutter

In terms of quality- you get what you pay for. Can't really expect more for $5. It does the job though (with caveats). I successfully cut 2 different T-Mobile mini-SIM cards for use with iPhone 3gs.

When the card is inserted all the way into the slot, it seems dangerously close to the metal edge, which could probably damage the card. I used a factory micro-SIM card as a reference- to make sure I don't cut off too much plastic around the edges. As a result, I didn't insert the SIM card all the way in, but left an extra 1-1.5mm on its far end to visually match that of the standard factory micro-SIM.

I also had to sand down the cards after cutting to make them slimmer to allow for easy insertion and removal using the supplied adapter (before sanding down the card, it would get stuck inside the iPhone due to being too thick and I had to pry it out). Now, both cards are cut down to size and are slim enough to allow easy insertion/removal.
