Accessories to protect, charge, and carry Google’s latest and (second) greatest.
With a new phone comes a slew of new accessories to go with it; since Google’s new Nexus phones use the equally new USB Type C standard, it can be a little hard to find accessories that are compatible. Let us do the heavy lifting in finding that stuff while you spend your time enjoying your Nexus 5X.
Don’t yet have one of these beauties? Google is currently having a rather killer sale on the 5X: $150 off when you sign up for Google Fi. Still on the fence about buying, even with that awesome deal? Check out our review. (Spoiler alert – it’s awesome.)
