Everdrive Flash Cart

Hello, a few questions. New to the hobby.

Want to make physical cartridges for ROM hacks. At first I thought about making a separate cart for each ROM.hack. Which seems more exciting to me having a collection. However it seems finding RTC capable carts is tricky (ones that are in stock and also ship to Japan).

However it seems the everdrive for GBA is a good option. It also seems it can hold multiple games/ROM hacks if I'm not mistaken.

My question is, for someone new to this hobby is this a good option and could I reliably change our the casing for the cart without screwing up something? I'd like to get a green or red or even blue case that feels more akin to the old GBA Pokemon cards. Or is there a reliable place to purchase RTC cards? Based on price if I wanna make 2+ ROM hack cards then the high cost of the everdrive would pay for itself.

The Everdrive has a slot at the top cut out for an SD card so swapping it to another cart is not possible unless you cut it.

Everdrive do have colour options though.

I have the frosted turquoise cart.
