The limited-edition Skrillex Live Case: Built for fans. Made for Android.
Wednesday, May 20, 2015
We spend a lot of time with our phones every day. They’re essential to how we communicate and for many users, an extension of our style. We think that means your phone — and its accessories — deserve to be as interesting as you are. So we decided to seek out some of the world’s top artists to make that happen.
Enter Editions, a series of creative collaborations to develop limited-edition cases for Android phones. We are kicking off the series with Grammy-winning producer, Skrillex, who has created three unique designs inspired by his lifelong fascination with space. The Skrillex Live Case connects to your phone to bring you VIP access to Skrillex content and a companion live wallpaper that extends its design onto the screen.
From Skrillex’s satellite to your screen
The companion live wallpaper updates over the course of the day showing stunning images of Earth shot from the stratosphere. At night, it changes to display constellations visible from your current location.
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. Follow @Android on Twitter for more details.
In a short documentary about the project, we join Skrillex in Downtown LA to hear him talk for the first time about the origins of his fascination with space. We also travel deep into the Nevada desert to launch his satellite into the stratosphere.
VIP access to Skrillex content
Fans who get the Live Case will get early access to a free OWSLA album from Google Play and Skrillex updates sent directly to their phones. A shortcut button built-in on the Live Case gives you one-touch access to Skrillex’s music feed on YouTube. The button can also be customized to open your favorite apps, launch your phone camera or go to Skrillex’s website.
Exclusively on the Google Store
The limited-edition Skrillex Live Case is individually numbered and available for Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Samsung Galaxy S5, Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Get yours at the Google Store today through the end of June while supplies last. Stay tuned for the next collaboration. We can’t wait to tell you all about it.

ReplyDeleteCool. John Frusciante did it last year with the release of his latest recording ENCLOSURE. http://www.johnfrusciante.com/sat-jf14/
ReplyDeleteoooo. but no add to cart button?
ReplyDeleteoh 'This product is unavailable in your country.' Great. I had to dig to find that, thanks for making it unclear :/
DeleteYeah. I always assume that whatever Google releases, it's US only for the first 1-2 years.

ReplyDeleteAh, this explains why my cell phone doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteSoooooo can I just get that live wallpaper?
ReplyDeleteYes you can, but app won't work without case: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.live_case
DeleteInteresting idea but as for me better to wait next installments in Live Cases family - don't like Skrillex's music. Google, how 'bout collaboration with Aphex Twin? ;]
ReplyDeleteYeah, he's almost as pretentious as internet tough guys that use words like 'pusillanimous'.
ReplyDeleteNexus 6 out of stock already?
ReplyDeleteEither the Note 4 sold out in every style in the first few hours or it still isn't available in the first place 3 days later. Derp?
