The Nest Hello is your window to the outside (you know, aside from the actual windows on your home), and that means it’s outside — all the time. It’s a good idea to protect it or, at the very least, cover it so that it’s not getting weather-worn and scuffed. These are the best covers and wall plates for your video doorbell.

Amazon’s choice
Fintie silicone case
Fintie makes excellent silicone cases, for both phones and the Nest Hello. This cover is durable, has all the proper cutouts for the microphone and camera, and a little baseball-cap-style brim that should help to keep rain off the camera lens. Five colors are available.

Bottom line
The Nest Hello is by no means ugly, but covering it up is no harm either. Elago’s cases are the best option on this list because they offer durable protection from the elements, come in some lovely colors, and are rather inexpensive. Elago’s covers are also well-rated, and their products, in general, are well-rated all over Amazon, which indicates that its products are high-quality and well-liked.
If you want a better field of you or at least more viewing options, the Koroao wall mount if your best option. That 35 degrees makes all the difference if you don’t have an optimal spot to place your doorbell. This mount also installs fairly easily, and it has enough space to make wire placement hassle-free.
Slickwraps, on the other hand, won’t be as protective (they’ll only stave off scratches and scuffs), but there are so many to choose from, and they just look rad as hell.
