SIM CARD TRAY BROKEN INSIDE IPHONE

Question

SIM CARD TRAY BROKEN INSIDE IPHONE

Ok, here's the problem, I took out my sim card tray to try a new sim. However I managed to put the tray back in the wrong way. I managed to get the tray back out about a third of the way and remove the sim but then the tray broke. My phone is no longer under warranty so should I just remove the back casing and get the broken tray out or send it off for repair? I watched a few videos on youtube so getting the back off doesnt seem a problem I just don't want to damage any electronics inside. (WHY BUILD A SIM TRAY SO FLIMSY IN THE FIRST PLACE???)

Any help much appreciated. I live in the UK so how much would a repair like this cost?

iphone 3g, iPhone OS 3.1.3

You could try making an appointment at an Apple store, the geniuses have tools to get the sim try out without damage...I know you're out of warranty, but if you're nice, you never know, they just might do it for you. Otherwise, google third party repair services in your area...unless you're skilled at working with micro electronics don't mess with it yourself.
