Using DS GBA Slot instead of Original GB Slot

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I managed to get hold of a DS GBA Slot replacement and figured surely this would be better for saving space.

Once you remove the edges, the GB cart slots in perfectly. I've attached some images for how it looks in the case vs original slot.

Thanks. This is what I used as well. Moved to hardware since it is an alternative, and I don't want it to get lost as quickly as in the GBZ forum.

I used this too. The grip isn't as good as the DMG one, but still a great space-saving alternative.
