If you pull the microsim out without getting the adaptor all the way out, the end of the plastic gets stuck behind the metal endings. The trick is to slide the microsim back in and pull it out again as a single piece.
Any other possible combination would result in damaging the endings.



OP: Any insurance/cover/warranty? If you got no cover visit a reputable repair shop in your area, the repair is pretty simple but nothing you can do at home with a pair of pliers.
