The Pine Store offers the [https://pine64.com/product/pinephone-microsd-extender/ PinePhone microSD card slot extender] that makes the microSD card slot accessible when the back cover is snapped in place, which makes the development and testing on the PinePhone and the PinePhone Pro much easier. One end of the extender plugs into the microSD card slot, as visible in the picture in this section, slides between the main body of the phone and the back cover, and loops around the back cover. The extender comes with a square-shaped piece of quality self-adhesive tape that allows it to be affixed to the back cover.

As initially reported by a few PinePhone owners who purchased this extender, it caused bent pins in the microSD slots of their phones. This forced the extender to be pulled from the Pine Store, and it remained unavailable for purchase for a while. Thanks to [[User:dsimic|dsimic]], who performed some research and proposed a ~~hardware~~ modification to the Pine Store, the extender became available for purchase again in May 2022. The research and the fix are described in detail in [[this document]].
