    Hi,
    I've got a Dell XPS L502x and I want to put a skin on the cover from some place like Skin-It:
    Custom Phone Covers, Phone Cases & Skins For Electronics | Skinit

    but they only show pre-sized skins for the L501x and NOT the L502x.
    I know there are some differences between the 2 models, like the keyboard is different, but does anyone know if the size of the surface of the top of the lid is any different?

    I would think they are identical but don't know for sure? Anyone know? Do you think I would be ok just ordering the one for the L501x?
    Thanks

    Looks like the same body with new innards :D
    I'd say it's a safe bet it will fit... Go for it!

    Agreed.......

    To OP: the chassis is the same, guts were different (CPU/mobo/GPU). Even the port placement is identical.
