Guys, I bought one from eBay and right after shipment the seller told me that there are two versions of the casing. I tried it this afternoon and it's not a perfect fit.
A slight difference in the case near the volume rockers causes the case to have a bulge. There is also one more note; my old battery cover and 2000mah Samsung extended battery cover does not fit with the new casing. The alignment was simply off.

Has anyone found a white housing yet? I've been looking everywhere but can't seem to find one.
^this. would def like to have white housing w/out forfeiting 16gbs of space. if anyone finds OEM white housing please share!
Anyone find anywhere to buy the rear housing for the vzw version?
This might be what you're looking forward. I'm looking for the housing as well, but I am unsure if this is an authentic OEM rear housing.
Thanks for the link. I will let you know about fit when I get mine. Figured I would give it a try, but I am somewhat skeptical.
Definitely post back your results. I dropped mine a few weeks ago on concrete and it scuffed/dented up the dark area around the camera pretty bad. It pains me every time I see it .

please if someone can answer...thx in advance
I just ordered this, some matalic green model paint and some primer. My housing has some good scratches from a drop but they aren't deep so the pan is to put the new housing on as is, then sand and paint the old housing a custom color. I'll let you guys know how it goesI actually just replaced my rear housing an hour or so ago. It took me all of 15 minutes. Remove 6 screws from under the battery cover > separate housing edges from screen area > pry out core. Super simple really. Then just pop the core into the new housing.
Also, if anyone is looking for the Verizon Gnex housing, I found a seller on eBay that is selling the OEM housing. Its EXACTLY the same inside and out and fits perfectly. Here is what I bought:

I took a few pictures if anyone wants me to post them as well.
Are there any tutorials on how the LTE/CDMA variant comes apart? I imagine its similar to the GSM one...
Also since VZN is releasing the Gnex in white, will the rear housing be different to accommodate the smaller storage? I would kill to have the real housing on my 32 gig
