Case dimension any difference i515 vs i9250?

[Cromagnon]

Hi,

Some cases are described as for "Galaxy Nexus i515 Verizon", is it the same dimensions than the GN i9250?

Thanks

They are not the same. The I515 is 0.52mm thicker - yet another reason it should not bear the name Galaxy Nexus. It may not seem like much, but my Otterbox Defender is a slightly sloppy fit, and the built-in screen protector doesn't make good contact with the screen near the edges, making registering touches near the edge a hit ot miss proposition. Adding a double-thick layer of business cards behind the phone in the case has helped greatly.

It's ridiculous that a manufacturer names two different phones identically. They don't share the same dimensions or even battery configuration.

Thank you for the clarification. This is confusing indeed, this should drives case manufacturer crazy. Why would Samsung go to the troubles of making two very slightly different models with a negligible difference in thickness? Sounds like an inventory nightmare.

I'm sure the overall size and battery differences are a result of one being GSM and the other being CDMA.

The two CDMA versions are different from each other as well.
