Skrillrex live Case

Google today announced Editions, a creative collaboration where it will develop limited-edition cases for Android phones. The first cases for Editions has been created by Skrillex — a Grammy award winning producer — who has designed 3 cases based on the space theme which are being called Skrillex Live Case.

Google has also launched a companion live wallpaper app for the cases that will show beautiful images of the Earth shot from the stratosphere throughout the day. Once the sun sets down, the wallpaper will show the constellations of the star depending on the location of the user.

To capture the Earth images, Google and Skrillex launched a custom-designed balloon satellite named after Skrillex’s dog, Nanou. Once Nanou’s photographic mission is complete, a lucky fan will win the autographed satellite in an upcoming giveaway.

The case feature a quick shortcut button on the back that provides quick access to Skrillex’s music feed on YouTube. Thankfully, the button can also be configured to launch any other app by the user.

Additionally, users who buy the Live Case will also get early access to the OWSLA album through Google Play, and will be notified of any updates from Skrillex directly on their phone.

The cases are available for purchase from the Google Store for the Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6, Galaxy Note 4, Nexus 5 and the Nexus 6 through June or until stocks last for $40 apiece.
