Cases for the Nexus 5 smartphone and Nexus 7 tablet are now on sale in the Google Play store for 25 percent less than their normal price.

This deal will be available for a limited time and can be used on the Nexus 7 sleeve and folio as well as the Nexus 5 bumper case and LG Quickcover for the handset. These accessories are normally priced pretty high so a 25 percent off discount is significant.

There is no word on when this promotion will end so those who are interested should act fast.

Google launched the Nexus 5 at the end of last year. Specifications on the device include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 processor running at up to 2.3GHz, a 4.96-inch LCD 1080p display, 2GB RAM, Adreno 330 GPU, 16 or 32GB internal memory, a 2300 mAh battery and an 8-megapixel camera with Optical Image Stabilization. It is also one of the first devices to run Google's latest Android 4.4 KitKat operating system.

The Nexus 5 is available in the Google Play store. The 16GB version sells for $349 and the 32GB model retails at $399. It can be purchased in both black and white.

The Nexus 7 (2013) was released shortly before the summer of last year and introduced Android 4.3 JellyBean to the market. It features impressive specs including a 7-inch 1920 x 1200 HD display, 2GB RAM, a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 16/32GB of internal storage, built-in wireless charging, and a 5-megapixel rear camera.

The tablet also introduced Android 4.3, JellyBean which was unveiled alongside the device earlier this year. The display on the Nexus 7 is 1080p which makes it the first Full HD 7-inch slate. The device's virtual sound technology is also quite impressive, as it gives users a 5.1 surround sound experience by using headphones or build-in speakers.
