The Adafruit GPS HAT fits fine with the lid on.  I think you can get the 
antenna cable out through the slot they left for a ribbon cable to hit the 40 
pin GPIO connector.  But I've been happy with the built-in patch antenna.

I may have mentioned this before.  Getting the Pi into that case is a bit 
tricky.  You have to tilt it to poke the HDMI connector and friends into the 
holes and then rotate the other side down.  That doesn't work with the HAT 
on.  You might want to put a string through the mounting holes on the HAT 
nearest the 40 pin connector so you can remove the HAT.


At least one of the GPS HATs looks like it has an antenna connector that will 
need a hole cut in most case designs.

I've seen one "case" that was 2 sheets of plastic and 4 posts in the corners. 
 That left all sorts of room for cables to go in/out the sides.  I don't 
remember where I saw it.
