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.

Cruzelite tpu cases 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.

I got the black glossy Cruzer case from Amazon and it fits snug and tight...better than my Incipio case I purchased from the Verizon store. The case is nice and durable. The power button and 3 prongs are open and the volume keys are closed with a nice rough texture. The volume keys are very easy to use since they are sealed. I recommend this case to GSM Galaxy Nexus owners and the price is not bad at all.
I gave it a 5 star review on Amazon.
Here is a link...
Check out the other designs Cruzer has... Android print case looks pretty cool too.

How is the fit and finish, for lack of a better term, of the case? How tightly does it fit around the face and how are the areas around the mold seam?
I'm currently using this Qubits case and while it is quite good, it is not perfect.

The fit and finish is great. It is not loose around the face or around the seams. Im telling you, this fits nice and tight all around the phone.
Sorry guys.... I'll get pics later today...give me about 2 hours.

I have this case and while it fits perfectly it takes away from the look of the phone. Also makes it bulky and just not the same. I have a smoked one if someone wants it. Will sell it for $5.

What color did you get?
Sale at Amazon on these
FYI - if you want more than one, you can get three for the price of two at Amazon - use promo code BUY2GONE. Several different colors, two different patterns.

I got black. I didn't care too much about the color though. I only use the case when I am in route from one location to another. When I'm at home or at the office I take the case off.
well finally I got it and I tested it..and the results are this:
LOVE IT
feels just like the old ringke but fits the lte version with the extended battery
I put them side to side for comparison so you guys can check it and make your own mind. This case is a must for the people that like slim cases.
Enjoy!

Good job! Buen Trabajo very very good review!

Thanks for the review! That metallic color is beautiful! I'm definitely considering the case now that they released an LTE version. The fit and cutouts look fantastic.
How does this fit on a GSM model with the extended battery. I ordered one of these and hopefully it fits well with mine.

No problem. I couldnt get around to post pictures of how it looked like because my galaxy nexus is my main camera at the moment. Could you provide some pictures of how you'd done it? Im interested in this and might being doing so myself.
Just got mine about 10mins ago and it is awesome! I really love the feel of it. Thanks for the review.

Only thing that I dislike about the case is that it seems really difficult to take the case off. I got it off but it's definitely not a case for someone that likes to take their case on and off very frequently.
Nice grip, very slim, would recommend it and oh yeah... fast shipping with some other goodies in the package as well.
The back gets dirty very fast but easy to wipe/clean.
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.

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?
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
Hi,
Is there a case or cover that still lets the Qi wireless charging work?

Most slim cases would. Even the ones as thick as the portenzo (sp ?) book cases it work

Anyone have experience with the moko slim case here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DE8R3BO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

no one mentions my case, but it's similar to another moko case so I'm gonna assume it works.

5mm thickness is the QI standard. It can charge up to 5mm distances. I would say most cases will work.

I did a review on my Qi Charger and tested it with my Poetic Case and it worked
I asked the TreeGloo people asking if theirs works with the Qi charger. They said the slim case does. Got one on order and keep it in a sleeve for now until it comes in.
Thanks for the info, I've been looking at getting a Qi charger for my N7 and wanted to make sure that it would work with my current slim case.

Well one of my friend owns a QI charger for her N7(2013) and its not creating any differences with the cases...and working pretty well...so no worries...
Just received my white Nokia DT900 in the mail today. It charges perfectly with my Moko UltraSlim case on my N7 FHD! AT&T currently has the DT900 on sale for only $24-25 AND in all colors Nokia offers! Amazon has the Nokia DT900 in black for just a few dollars more, but all other colors increase the price by almost double! AT&T allows you to choose whatever color you want for the same low price! Moko UltraSlim case is very similar (almost identical actually) to the Poetic Slimline, Nilkin, and many others. I only have the Moko UltraSlim case, so I cant assure anyone that the DT900 will definitely charge through any other case. That said, I don't see why any of those other cases wouldn't work with the DT900. I highly recommend the Nokia DT900 Qi charger!! Don't just take my word for it though, do a Google search for "Nokia DT900" and see for yourself the positive reviews after positive reviews and happy customers for this charger with multiple devices and multiple cases!

I have several cases. None interfere with Qi Charging. I think its max is 5" which is pretty large area. As long as there is no metal in the case.
