Seems like a stupid question, but I've been searching for a bit and cannot find a definitive answer. Does anyone know for sure if the standard galaxy nexus skins will fit the lte ones without any issue? I'd really like to run this phone without a case.
Thanks in advance.

Ghost armour makes skins for the LTE version, but on the GSM version the cutout for the Samsung logo is off by a little so they cut it, to make it fit.

Are you talking about skins with printed patterns? If so then I would say yes. I ordered a skin from skinit.com for my gsm Galaxy Nexus and while it did fit it just didnt fit properly and I was able to tell something was off. I then checked my receipt that came with the phone and it said SCH-I51 which after some research is the verizon model. Long story short, I told them about it but they didnt do anything for me. So I have a badass looking skin (at least i think so anyways) sitting around not being used.
And so after some MORE searching I found another site named gelaskins.com that do the GSM variants and they fit my phone perfectly, and looks badass aswell in the process.
So to sum up:
skinit.com = verizon/lte model
gelaskins.com = gsm model

I have been waiting on the official Samsung case for the GN, and I found it and ordered. £12 UK.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/genuine-samsung-galaxy-nexus-mesh-vent-case-black-p33709.htm
Looks quite cool.
I also found a really nice pouch, a company called SENA, I used their cases for my iPhone, from 2G right up to 4S and it's been the best iPhone case I have ever found. They are amazing quality and have never marked a phone. £17 UK

nice finds. At £12 that genuine one is a bargain, I paid £25 for my case mate.

I'll let you know tomorrow once it arrives, I've had the email confirming dispatch now.
Wow, I really hope it will work on CDMA with extended battery. I really like that case.
Aww damn still no official samsung leather pouch yet?
why is mobilefun using photoshopped images? crappy ones at that.

that samsung mesh case looks like silicon so that means stretching. and since it's mesh, it means it will stretch faster. money wasted if it is silicon.
Will they ship to the US? It looks nice and might just pick one up

make from hard plastic and...it isnt easy to hit the power button with it on, poor show really
Does anyone know where to get a neoprene pouch that will fit the GN? I've seen some on eBay, but I don't know if it the fit is snug enough, they looked universal. I loved the ones that came with my G1 and N1.
If you find a dope pouch post it up. Def interested.

I bought one on eBay that is a "clone" of the slip case that came with the Nexus One--black, with the Android logo at the bottom. It fits wonderfully and seems to be of similar quality to the one that came with the N1. Highly recommended.
Yeah, do a search, there's a thread related to this already in here somewhere. I've got the ebay pouch, fits great and looks great.
Same as post. Ordered skins for my two, but was wondering if anyone had experienced with them. Already read another post about another site's. After I ordered mine, though. :-/

I ordered one for my phone unfortunately though they seem to cater to the verizon model (as mine is a gsm phone so it didnt fit properly on the battery door). Although quality wise the skin looked great and the detail of the print was excellent.
I was worried about that mostly. Good that you're confirming that much for me.

hello guys
i was thinking about getting a case for my galaxy nexus and im probably going to get the rearth ringke slim.
so i just wanted your input about how it is for the gsm version.
thanks for the help!
plenty of reviews available on youtube, also please check out the case wiki that's stickied on the first page, and search in the search box as this is a very popular case that frequently shows up on this forum.

40+ pages of reviews.
Only case I've ever kept on, and bought twice.

No one ever responded to my question in that main thread. So I guess it wont hurt to ask here.:
I know a few have tried the LTE case with a GSM Nexus, but has anyone tried a LTE case with a GSM Nexus w/ a extended battery? Does it fit better? Or was it the only way to make it fit?
The LTE case fits the GSM GNex with extended

how is the fit. snug? loose? tight?
Which cases /covers are known to properly fit the 2013 LTE model?
ASUS premium case fits perfectly for me. So did the travel case. I think any of them should fit the LTE version.

The reason is : the wifi and the LTE models have different dimensions. A case or even a screen protector which fits one model will not necessarily fit the other model .

A word of warning...it turns out that the dimensions of the WiFi and LTE models are ever-so-slightly different. If you read reviews of the official OEM Asus "premium case" for the 2013 Nexus 7, you'll find page after page of people telling you it doesn't fit. I ordered one and sure enough, it didn't fit my WiFi model. However, Friday, I met up with fellow XDA member @Bob Smith42 and tried the case on his LTE model. Lo-and-behold, it fit like a glove. I have an LTE model on the way anyway, so I'm keeping the case until it shows up. But regardless I just figured I'd put the warning out there for everyone.

That is good to know, didn't realize that. Makes sense why so many were giving bad reviews of the premium case and mine fits perfectly.

i got a POETIC smart case for my Wifi model when i had it and it fit perfectly.. now I have an LTE model and it fits the exact same no snugger or looser than the wifi model.
