I might have an easy solution to the DS cases not having a GBA slot.

This is how I store my GBA games in a DS case. All I do is go to walmart and buy 1/4" weather strips for like 8 dollars and I just cut out 3 little pieces to securely hold the GBA game inside. It takes less than a minute and is just as good at holding the game and taking it out, if not better, than Nintendo's original GBA slots. I find it kind of a pain to have to really force the GBA game into a standard gba slot cause I have to press it in kinda hard sometimes, whereas with this modification it just sits right in.

Easiest solution:
Step one - order a bunch of the new-style DS cases from Nintendo.
Step two - replace all of your DS games with the new-style cases.
Step three - take all your old DS game cases and use them on GBA games.

The only issue is that nothing really sticks to polypropylene very well. I.e. the stripping will start to come off at a point.

I guess your right. But the picture I had as an example has had those strips for a little over 3 years and they seems to be staying on there just fine. But perhaps I can just change them out as soon as they lose their stickiness.

I think they only started selling red DS cases about 2 years ago :P
But seriously, it sounds like they're holding up well. That stripping must be industrial grade lol!
