I have seen quite a lot of people getting frustrated with their SIM adapters and i would like to propose a solution / future design upgrade:
I had the same exact issue with the SIM adapter, i solved it by cutting the end of the adapter so I could insert the SIM card without removing the adapter. I tried removing the adapter with the SIM inserted and it did not break any parts so far.
I would suggest either users cutting off the end of the adapter so it's possible to insert SIM card into the device without attempting to ruin the pins or Pine team to make and provide in the box a modified SIM adapter of course if there is a possibility.
