Default Landscape dock/car dock same for GSM & LTE?

Anyone know if these accessories work for both models? The dimensions are so close that it might. It seems implied that they will but I haven't read anything to confirm this. Cases are a totally different matter of course.

A number of people here have said that LTE cases fit the GSM phone fine.

I would be VERY surprised if the accessories didn't work with each other. From a design standpoint it would be very easy to make them interchangeable and it'd just be wasteful and expensive not to.

Well the question is whether the docks can be made to accept the slightly thicker LTE version & the GSM version, and also line up 3 pogo pins to the three gold contacts, and firmly hold both models (at least for the car mount this is important).

Does anyone have an answer for this? I am curious too. I want to buy the verizon car dock for my GSM Nexus, but only if it will fit properly.

I stopped at Verizon store near my house and put my GSM phone in the car dock with out issue. Didn't check to see if the pins lined up but imagine they would.

The GSM phone also fits into the side pouch with kickstand that Verizon carriers, including all the cutouts for pins, headphones usb and such

I have not been to the Verizon store to confirm, but i read somewhere online that someone got the car dock and some other Galaxy Nexus accessories from the Verizon store. they might not have them out, but if you ask a rep, they can probably get them from the back for you. YMMV depending on the store though.

couple questions.. if someone can confirm that Verizon is indeed selling the car docks, can you tell me how much they're selling it for and most importantly if it has a slot for the power button? out of all the pics I've seen, its not clear whether you're able to hit the power button while docked

I can guarantee the Verizon store on Military Rd in Niagara Falls NY has the card dock. If I remember correctly it is 39.95 which made me laugh because in Canada Bell is selling the dock for $89.95

I will likely be going to the states again this weekend and if I do, I will try to remember to stop by the Verizon store again and check out the card dock again about the power button.
