The Stand Folio Case for the Nexus 6 is now available to purchase from Google Play. Made by Case-Mate, the folio provides front and back protection for your shiny new smartphone, carries your credit cards, and folds into a handy stand for watching movies or making video calls.

The Stand Folio Case was added to the Play Store about three weeks ago, but it has only just been made available to order — in the U.S., at least. Google promises to ship orders within 1-2 business days.

At $40, the Stand Folio Case certainly isn’t cheap. Case-Mate is a reliable brand, so you can expect it to last, but you’ll find similar alternatives can be had much cheaper from retailers like Amazon. If you’re willing to forgo the folio design and integrated card holder, you’ll save even more.

Case-Mate does have a second case option for the Nexus 6 in the Play Store; the Naked Tough Case is a snap on shell with a built-in kickstand that’s priced at $35.
