Under no conditions should you even ATTEMPT to use the plastic one sent with the device. Iv personally verified it Will break the Sim Card Slot due to how the extender is designed (Cheap plastic, rough edges catch on prongs)

.
One does have to be careful. Not all sims will hold snugly in the plastic adapter. I find it may help to put slight finger pressure over top of it as you slide it in to prevent the SIM from slipping out (and possibly catching pin).

Martijn Braam did a video covering inserting sim cards into Pinephone: https://youtu.be/SiQSJSrPqd8. The one some users have issue with is the nano sim found at 2:57 in the video.
