For a limited time only, Google is offering 25% off of select Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 accessories on the Play Store. Unfortunately not every accessory qualifies for the deal, but many of the most popular ones do.

If you want official, Google/LG made products, however, than this deal is certainly nothing to complain about.
