Nexus 5 Cases available for pre-order

The rumour mill is working overtime around the whole Nexus 5 launch.

With a Google event taking place today in New York, speculation is rife that the launch is imminent and adding fuel to the fire is the fact that not only are there devices up for sale on eBay but also the fact that cases are now up for pre-order.

The cases are available from accessories retailer Mobile Fun and come in a variety of guises.

The availability of said cases surely points to a launch that will happen sooner rather than later, however the big question still remains when?

You can check out the full range of cases available for pre order here.

LifeProof now includes the Galaxy S3 and S4 in their range of cases

LifeProof have until now just focused on the Apple market with cases for the iPad, iPad mini, iPhone 4/4S, iPhone 5 and a few iPods but now they have extended their range to include the Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4.

There are two types of case available for each device, the nüüd and the fré.

The nüüd lets you still use the phones actual touchscreen and just relies on sealing all open ports and buttons to protect the phone against liquid whilst providing a solid shock resistant outside.

The fréon the other hand also has a screen protector built into the case so the screen has an extra layer of protection against scratches and knocks.

If you are in America you also have the option of buying LifeProof’s Total Water Protection Plan which allows you to claim for a replacement device if yours is liquid damaged whilst in a LifeProof case. There is a small charge for this replacement ($50 for phones, $75 for tablets) but cheaper than shelling out for a new device, they’ll even replace the case as well for you.

Ian was impressed by the durability of the iPad mini case when he tested one, which you can read here.

They do lots of other cases too, including ones that look like cassettes. Yes, cassettes… anyone remember those? You can still buy them on eBay. TDK D90 baby. Always the best.
