Is the iPad 3 smart case okay to use with the iPad 4?

I just got the newest generation iPad (4th generation iPad) and I want to get the smart case so that it covers the whole iPad. I was reading reviews on amazon and also the title of product was "smart case for iPad 2 and iPad 3". Is that one okay to use for the iPad (4th generation)?

iOS 6.0.1

I would assume it will work but the only thing to watch for would be that the Lightning connector would be acessible through the case's opening. Width-wise, the opening should be fine. It would depend more on the alignment front to back of the connector and the case's opening. Even if the Lightning connector is somehow blocked from access with the case, you could still use the cover (remove it to charge the iPad) since the physical dimensions of the 4th gen iPad are the same as the 3rd gen.
