You don't need to do a shutdown to change SIM or SD-card. Just connect
the wall charger or USB to desktop, after that you can remove the
battery, the SIM and then the SD-card (in that order). And it's a good
idea to stop any daemons before that are using the SIM or SD before
doing this.

Having an "open" slot for SIM or SD requires a mechanism to prevent
the card from falling out unintentionally as well as a cover to
prevent dirt and such to get into the slot.
