The Nexus 6 has been available to order through Google Play for over two weeks now, but getting hold of one has been incredibly difficult. Google appears to have very little inventory, and when new stock comes in, it sells out within minutes. It should come as no surprise, then, that retail supplies are going to be seriously constrained, too.

If you’ve already ordered your new Nexus 6, you now need a case to go with it. After all, that giant 5.9-inch display isn’t likely to fare well if you drop the device on the ground. But Case-Mate has you covered; its first two official Nexus 6 cases are coming soon to the Play Store now, with prices starting at $35.

Sony knows you’re itching to get your Android 5.0 Lollipop upgrade, so it’s making matter worse by publishing a new video that demonstrates Google’s latest software running on its flagship Xperia Z3. This won’t be the software you get from Sony, however, because it’s pure Lollipop without any third-party tweaks.

Amazon won’t give up on Fire Phone just yet.

The Fire Phone hasn’t been anywhere near as successful as Amazon hoped it would be. Sales have been so bad, in fact, that the device has ended up costing the retail giant around $170 million. But Amazon knows where it has gone wrong, and it has every intention of making more smartphones.

Google Maps for Android is the latest Google app to get a Material Design makeover for Android 5.0 Lollipop, following the improvements to Calendar on Monday. It’s not just more colorful than it was before, however; you’ll also find new services built–in, including Uber and Open Table.
