Both Sims & SD Card Simultaneously?

So here is the AXON Sim Tray.

It looks like it is either SD Card or Sim Card and not both at the same time with the way the slot works. (People who have it can confirm whether or not it's true.) But I have a theory of how to get both at the same time.

With the above photo, you can see that I took the sim card out of they plastic using a hair dryer, some scissors to cut the edges off, & a knife to separate it from the plastic.

We can then take the card & attach it to the back of the SD card. Theoretically it should be able to read all 3 cards at the same time. The pins are clearly visible for the SD Card and both sim cards when in the slot. I'm in the US so I won't be able to test my theory out until it launches here, if someone wants to try it and report back that would be awesome! I'll end up getting this phone regardless, but if this works it'd just be icing on the cake!


Edit: Thanks to 'jkuczera' we have a couple videos for you to see it.

We have confirmation that the mod works for the Axon 7 guys! 2 Sim cards & an SD card!

Success!

Managed to make it a somewhat temporary modification. Now I need to order a proper microSD!

Quick update:

I just successfully performed with mod using double sided tape. Wasn't working at first, apparently I had the sim upside down. Once I turned it around it worked like a charm.

I had to be careful sliding the tray in to keep the sim from moving out of place. I just used my nail while pushing it in to keep it in place.

Took a little video. I'll try and edit it to make it more concise. I've never edited video before so give me the weekend and I'll see if I can find some help.

I modded my main sim and placed it as SIM 2 as that one stays with the Axon 7 and left my secondary sim un-moded so I can keep using it in my other phone when desired.

Tools:
1. Phone
2. Sim card to be moded.
3. MicroSD card
4. Heat gun or heat source
5. pocket knife
6. Scotch Double sided tape

Steps:
*Attempt at your own risk.I'm not responsible if you damage you cards or your device.

1. Apply heat to SIM, careful not to destroy it. Little by little.
2 Once you get separation use the knife/blade to remove. mine came out very easily once it separated.
3. Cut a small piece of double sided tape and place it on the bottom of the MicroSD card aprox where the SIM should go.
4. Place SIM on tape and give it a good squeeze (not I didn't bother cutting the SIM any smaller)
5. Insert MicroSD with attached SIM into tray (make sure SIM is straight and aligned).
6. Add second SIM
7. Insert tray while holding MicroSD and SIM. Once first SIM is inserted stun upside down so you can see and keep second SIM in place while inserting the tray the remainder of the way. Use your finder or fingernail to keep SIM from sliding too far back. You will have to apply some pressure but not too much.
8. Make sure tray is inserted completely then check to see that there are two sets of signal bars for the two SIMS.

NOTE: make sure the modded SIM is not upside down, mine wasn't working until i flipped it into the correct orientation.

Good luck.

I will when I get my device tomorrow

Pretty sure this is going to work. I had to use an old SIM card in slot2; I'll try a working one tomorrow.
