via cdn2.sbnation.com

Google's new wireless charging pad for the Nexus 5, Nexus 4, and Nexus 7 is now on sale in the US and Canada for $49.99. While Google originally said that the charger would launch alongside the Nexus 5 itself, it appears to have been delayed for a few weeks before its availability today. Both of the Nexus 5's other accessories are available in some capacities as well, with both the black and white version of the $49.99 QuickCover in stock and red and yellow versions of the $34.99 Bumper Case in stock as well. The latter case's black and gray color options aren't available at the moment though, so those hoping to pick up one that'll match their monochrome Nexus 5 may have to wait a little bit longer.

Cases are available too
