MicroSIM card
Cutter and Adapter

If you want to use a
regular sized SIM in one of the new devices that requires a
MicroSIM (eg an iPhone 4 or an iPad) then this device will
cut a regular SIM down to a MicroSIM size in a single punch
action. Easy, quick, and much better than tracing an
outline and cutting the SIM with heavy duty scissors!
Only $24.95, complete
also with a MicroSIM adapter that will allow your newly cut
MicroSIM to still work in anything requiring a regular sized
SIM.

device seeking a regular sized SIM card.

else at all.
