Nokia 2652 and ghost sims

Hi,
I have a Nokia 2652 shell phone. It has a strange sim loading method from the right side which should help the task of changing SIM card (as it does not require you to remove the battery). This is good in principle but clearly is not compatible with many of the dual-sim or ghost sim methods, which 'hide' a dual connector under the battery itself!

Does anyone know any of those little ghost sim which allows to keep two SIMS on the Nokia 2652? I switch often netowkr and would like to avoid loosing my sims keeping them both together.

Also: I know there is a methos to cut the sim edges to fit two in one single special sim container. Has anyone done it? Is it easy then to use the same (cut) sim on other phones without the special ghost container?

    Di you destroy the sim accidentally while trying to use the ghost sim method?
    Were instructions not provided?

    has anyone used this method at all? Is there noone using/selling ghost sims?
    This methos of cutting the sims seems to be popular from what I see in online shops selling these ghost sims.
