To actually answer your question:
Super glue would be a decent option. You should only need one drop to secure the tray.
If you ever need to open the tray again, wet the area with isopropyl alcohol for a few minutes, and it should pop right open without damage. If you get too much resistance, add more alcohol and wait a little longer.
There is also a 2-part epoxy with similar performance called "Doubkr Bubble" that also dissolves with alcohol, but it's definitely overkill for a SIM tray.
If you can open it, they can open it. There's not much of a point if it's something you can undo.
Same deal as putting a lock on a door. Buys time
Exactly this. I'm looking to buy time not to completely bar access
It at least provides resistance to the immediate removal of the card. I doubt most thieves are running around with readily available solvents. Could provide enough time to remotely lock or wipe as OP said
Amazing, thank you! I think the super glue option will be best. The phone is water resistant as well so I don't see the isopropyl being an issue to try loosen the super glue.
With the phone off, the isopropyl should be safe. It'll dry quick, too.
