Google just introduced Live Cases
for the Nexus 5x, 6 and 6P. While they might seem like regular cases on
the outside, each case can be thoroughly customised. Using NFC, the
case can push an animated wallpaper to your phone as well. A separate
button on the back will also trigger a shortcut of your choosing.
You head over to the Live Case page
on Google, pick an image or a an area from a map and customise the
colours and background at will. There are a bunch of presets to choose
from as well. Once you select what you like and place the order (for
$35), the case will be prepared and shipped to you.
Now here’s where the “Live” part comes in. The case will come bundled
with a custom, animated wallpaper that will be related to the
background you chose for the case. The wallpaper will be pushed to the
phone via NFC.
A shortcut button is incorporated into the case and you can customise it to open an app of your choosing when pressed.
It’s too bad that live cases aren’t yet available in India though.
They’d make for an exciting, if not very useful addition to your phone.
