Is the exterior of the new MacBook Pro truly identical?

[Bill Gates]

I'll be ordering a new MacBook Pro soon, most likely the 15" high-end model with a few BTO options. My question is whether or not the exterior of the new MacBook Pro is truly a carbon copy of the old one. I will be applying an InvisibleShield as well as a Moshi Palmguard to my as-yet unordered MacBook Pro and before I order the accessories I want to know if they will also fit the new model. I know that it's only a matter of time before the websites of the aforementioned companies are updated to reflect the compatibility situation, but until that's done, I'd like to hear it from the community.

Yes they are exactly the same the only thing I noticed that is different is the black plastic on the hinge is now has a soft touch rubber feel to it rather than a smooth plastic feel but thats it and that wont effect any accessories.
