Pine64 founder posted elsewhere that the SIM/SD card adaptors were available from the store free of charge right now due to issues with them being damaged super easily. There were caveats: you pay for packaging and posting of the part and it is supplied on the basis of the fix either being DIY or at a repair shop - implied in both cases is that all costs for the repair itself were paid by the owner of the phone.

Potentially still a better deal than a replacement PPP motherboard? Let's think about size of Pine64 e-waste mountain and not unduly increasing it...
I think in future replacement SIM/SD card adaptors will need to be a store part and ditto motherboards.

If you have the sim slot issue and able to ask local repair shop to make the repair, support team can file a request to send out this spare part. When file the support time at https://support.pine64.org, please provide your order number and sim slot damage photo shows, support team will help up on this arrangement. Please note that this spare part is free but you still need to pay for the Pine Store standard shipping. Due to this is a special arrangement, support team will not help up on combine shipment type of request.
