Where would be a good place to keep SIM card without losing it?

I really don't know how to answer this. Anytime I have ever had a Sim card, it's always been inside my iPhone and anytime I have removed it, I would reinsert it almost immediately back into the iPhone.
I wish I had a tape at hand. Maybe they would have given me some if I asked for it at the Apple store?
Pull the inserts out of the iPhone box, drop the SIM card in, place inserts back in. Unless You lose your entire iPhone box, you won’t lose the sim.
Is this thread for real. You started a thread to ask us where to keep your SIM card ?
Back when I was trying to unlock my old iPhone 5, a MacRumors member here sent me some SIMs so I could test.
Inside the envelope he sent he had put each loose SIM card in a ziplock baggy and marked each baggy with a black Sharpie as to what SIM was inside.
I keep my SIMs in that envelope he sent me (it's easily recognizable to me) and have adopted his system of bagging loose SIMs and marking the bags.
Works for me.
No tape, No baggy, No iPhone case, No Apple Box, now what? Shoe, sock?
Tape it to your forehead, that way whenever you look in the mirror you will be reminded.
(Remember to use clear tape so you can easily see what it is, so you are not tempted to tear the tape off should you forget).
Keep it in a gold locket around your neck.
At home, in a box with my memory cards. Traveling internationally (I assume is the only place where you'd frequently remove SIM cards, unless you have burner SIMs for illicit or socially undesirable purposes), I keep it in an SD card holder and keep that with the rest of my travel cables.
I keep them in an old Compact Flash Card card case.

Fold it up in a small piece of paper.
A Post-It note is adequate, as is a store receipt or ATM receipt. Heck, you could use a scrap of newspaper or toilet paper in a pinch.
I always have a couple of blank Post-It notes in my wallet.
