Google today announced Live Cases, a way for Nexus owners to personalize their handset while also protecting it. Interested consumers can upload a photo to Google's site, select a case style, and Google will make the case and ship it. Users can pair the case with a slideshow of related images, if they wish, so the screen and case show the same subject. Users will be able to add more photos to the slideshow at any time. Similarly, the Places Live Case is styled with a map of the person's favorite location. The live wallpaper will show a live map of the person's location as they travel throughout the day. A quick tap will reveal nearby points of interest on Google Maps. Google Live Cases are available to the Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, and Nexus 6. They cost $35.
