Are Nexus 7 2012 cases compatible?

[douglerner]

I got my new Nexus 7 yesterday, even though it's not on sale yet here in Japan.

Are the cases compatible? In particular, I'm interested in one that works like an iPad smart cover and turns it on and off automatically.

Thanks,

No, the new Nexus 7 length is much longer and narrower so the old case definitely would not fit.

I am using my old case while waiting for a new one. I had to bend the catches a little bit to deal with the increased length. And a reduced width means there is a little sloppy laterally. But at least the unit is protected. Also, the magnetic on/off works as expected.

I'm using an old TPU case from a '12 N7. It stretches out to fit the new N7, but the cutouts for everything but the power and volume don't match.
