Those looking for a sweet deal on the 32GB unlocked Nexus 5 can go over to eBay and purchase it for just $384.

The site is offering the GSM version of the pure Android smartphone for $15 cheaper than the original price. It is available in three colors including white, black and red. It is eligible for free shipping and could arrive to the customer's house as early as May 23 depending on when they order.

Google is currently offering a new "Snap" case for the Nexus 5 smartphone in the Play Store.

The accessory retails for $29.99 and it comes in Black, Silver, Aqua, White and Clear. The case snaps onto the back of the smartphone. It doesn't cover the front so the phone will have almost the same physical appearance from that angle.

The lower back of the case features a Google logo. The clear version will allow users to see the Nexus and LG logos from the back of the phone. It is currently available in Google Play and ships in 1-2 days.

Those anticipating a Nexus 6, or Nexus 5 successor will be pleased to know that it is coming, but it might be under a different name.

Google is currently working to create the Android Silver program, which involves manufacturers and wireless carriers getting paid to produce and sell high-end devices that closely adhere to the company's specifications. This new deal will replace the existence of the Nexus smartphone line and usher in a new era of Android.

The Silver program will have certain restrictions including the limiting the number of non-Google apps that can come pre-installed on devices that fall under this category.

Other rumors have pointed to Google discontinuing the Nexus line.
