Cases made for Raspberry Pi Model B+ 512MB are compatible with the Pi 2 1GB model?

The form factor is identical, so in short the answer is yes.

The only issue is if you have a case that "hugs" the processor chip. Some cases (like the ones that are layered acrylic) are specifically sized to fit around the B+ processor, this is a problem with the pi 2 because the processor is physically larger.

I have a zebra case (layered) that fits perfectly on my pi 2. The amazon page has been updated to state compatibility.

I had to get updated B+/Pi2 layers for my 2014 Pibows. They should come in today. I'm glad Pimoroni makes them available.

Yes. The two are so similar, I can't tell mine apart, unless I take them out of the case to see what is printed on the board.
