Not likely. The buttons are mounted on the board and would not line up. The SD slot is in a different place, the power is in a different place, etc. etc. It would be possible to design a case that would accept both sizes but the board would have to be designed specifically to make this work. It would be easier to just relayout the PCB etching and make a new board. Not a really big job but not trivial either.
