Google has added the first official accessories for its Nexus 5 smartphone to the Play Store. Anyone lucky enough to pick up a handset before stock rapidly sold out following a quiet launch can now buy bumper cases in a choice of four colours.
The official bumper case, which is available in Red, Black, Yellow, and Grey, entirely cover the back and sides of the Nexus 5, unlike the bumper for last year's Nexus 4 which only protected the sides.
Despite the change, the rubber rear isn't thick enough to stop the Nexus 5 from working with wireless charging pads. An official wireless charger went on sale in the US overnight, but has yet to arrive in the UK Play Store. All Nexus devices with wireless charging, including the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 smartphones, and Nexus 7 tablet, use the Qi standard, so any Qi wireless charger should be compatible.
You can also pick up a QuickCover case, which adds a flip-out front cover to protect the Nexus 5's 4.95in screen. It also protects the back and sides of the handset, unlike Samsung's smart covers for its Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 handsets, which replace the original back cover completely.
Google says that the official bumper case "absorbs shocks while protecting your phone". It will set you back £25 when bought directly from the Google Play store.
