Google introduces customizable cases for Nexus 6P and 5X

Match your case with your wallpaper.

Today Google introduced $35 custom Live Cases for the Nexus 6P and 5X. Artsy folks can design a case and companion wallpaper for their phone with their favorite image or map location. In addition to looking pretty, the cases ship with a programmable short cut button so you can launch an app without swiping around on your phone's screen.

In addition to a companion wallpaper, the Photos version of the case comes with a customized photo gallery. The Places version helps you create a stylized map of your location of choice for both the shell and the screen. All the design is handled by a web app and you can choose between a matte or glossy finish.

Cases are available for order now so if you're tired of off-the shelf designs, heres your chance to let your artistic-flag fly.
