I was a little worried about using scissors to cut the micro sim at first, but it turned out I needed to to get it to fit! I'm glad the product had instructions to do this, unlike some of the *aherm* German made ones, which do not come with instructions and prove difficult to cut. (my friend tried this, and long story short, it was a complete failure the thing just came apart when he tried to cut it!) I decided to try out this one for my attempt to resurrect my old iPhone 3G.
I used this one for my iPhone 3G and it worked like a charm. The whole cutting to size deal is really no problem as it only takes seconds and ensures a custom made perfect fit! Im so excited, now my old iPhone can be used again. Not to mention it slides in and out very easily, which means I might be switching my sim cards in and out depending on which service provider has a better deal.
Incase you are wondering I'm giving my (NOW UNLOCKED!) old iPhone to my brother because I got the new 4G. However, I'm beginning to consider taking it back because he actually has service and a cheaper plan.. hmmmm
well before this gets to long...
Thank you AFC for making a product that doesn't suck!! five stars up!

They work..With a 2nd grade IQ you can remove them too! READ FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON REMOVAL
I love reviews that destroy a product simply because people don't take the necessary precautions nor time to figure out something for themselves. Any phone that requires this adapter obviously should be used with a standard SIM card...and if you use anything else you are assuming some responsibility for your device and any subsequent failure.But, I digress and stand down from the soapbox.These work. They do what they are supposed to and don't take a enormous amount of time, effort nor thought to use properly.And...to remove them, take a moment, study your device and...wait for it...BE SMART.Here is the problem most people seem to be having: The contact pins in many phones were designed to accept a standard SIM. With this in mind the adapter (any adapter) cannot make up for the small gap that will exist between the SIM and the adapter itself. I don't care what you use or do, this is not something that can be helped.So here is the safe way to remove the device from most phones. Obviously I only have a limited number of phones I can test this on and you should take some time to study your particular device to see if this will work. I take no responsibility for any problems.Cut a small piece of plastic longer than a SIM but close to the same width. I used a piece of screen protector film with the peel away backing still in place. Such a film is flexible and thin enough to slide between the SIM and the contact pins. You need something this thin because you are going to use it to help assist your SIM with adapter into place and out of your phone if you are removing it.The idea is simple: use this film to push down the pins and to provide a safe insertion and removal. For my wife's blackberry and Galaxy Note I placed the thin piece of film into the SIM slot. Then I inserted the SIM and removed the film. This ensures that the SIM is seated properly in the phone. If you want to remove the SIM you simply insert the film BENEATH the SIM card, push all the way to make sure it is under the SIM completely and between the SIM and the contact pins. Gently remove your SIM while keeping the film in place. Do this right and your card won't rip the contact pins from your phone.Not brain surgery. Just a few moments of thought.
