Google and Skrillex have made the coolest smartphone accessory ever

Owners of the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S5, Galaxy S6, Nexus 5, or Nexus 6 may be excited to hear that Google has launched a new line of “Edition” cases for these devices, which are only available for a limited amount of time. What makes these cases so special is that they display constellation pics from the night sky and satellite-captured images of Earth. It’s not art either, it’s an actual image feed from a balloon satellite that Google launched in partnership with Skrillex. 

Google has introduced a new limited run of Android device accessories called ‘Edition’ cases. These cases, which come in sizes compatible with Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Samsung Galaxy S5, Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 4, also come with a live wallpaper to match which displays satellite-captured images of Earth by night and constellation pics from the night sky of your current location by night. This Google accessory project is kicking off with a partnership with Skrillex, the side-buzzed electronic noise musician the kids all love these days. The case designs come in three unique patterns created by Skrillex, in between his time producing unnatural sounds for high-volume playback in the club. He didn’t just make the art, however; the satellite images for the live wallpaper that comes with these accessories is actually fed from a Google and Skrillex custom balloon satellite named after the artist’s dog Nanou. Once it’s done snapping pics, one lucky @Android Twitter account follower will actually win Nanou (the satellite, not the dog). I’m not making any of this up.
