Looking for a winter coating of sorts for your Nexus 7? Now you can get one directly from the slate’s manufacturer. That’s right, Google has just unveiled its in-house manufactured case, made from microsuede.

The case has been designed especially for the Nexus 7 so don’t try fitting in other slates. The case is available for orders in the Play store right now, with shipping kick-starting on October 9.

The cases work with both Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi+ cellular models.

The case also comes with a “Molded Tub and Stand” allowing users to conveniently prop their slate. Google explained on Google Play why the addition was considered necessary.

“Using the built-in stand, you can easily type an email, get on Hangout, or watch the latest and greatest monkey-washing-a cat video. We won’t judge.”

“Google-designed cases are made to the exact specifications of your Google-designed technology – with a Google flag as a little salute to perfect fits.”

The case will be available in multiple color combinations ranging from black, white/red to gray/blue and gray/red. US customers can already start ordering theirs for the price of $49.99 / €37.
