Hi all, I have an iPhone 3G, I brought my XT sim a few days after they launched,
but now I notice that (probably due to me removing it occassionaly) the SIM card has become really, and I mean really scratched on the back.

Should I be worried?
Do you guys have the same problem?

EDIT: By scratched on the back, I mean the connector/chip side

If it's scratched on the plastic side, no worries. If it's scratched on the connector side, it could, if bad enough, lead to intermittent connections (bad). I would presume that if it got that bad, Telecom could simply replace the sim though.
