You can now design your own case for the Nexus 6P and 5X

Today Google has announced custom Live Cases for the Huawei Nexus 6P and the LG Nexus 5X. These are snap cases that you get to design yourself. For each case you want, you choose either a favorite photo to put on it, or a special place on a map.

After you pick the image or place, you can add filters (dozens are available). And when you buy a Live Case you also get a live wallpaper based on the image or map you used for it. If you've chosen a photo for the case, then you'll see a slideshow of images you've picked from Google Photos. If you went with the map option for the case, the live wallpaper will show your whereabouts.

The Live Cases come with a customizable button. By default, this will launch your camera app if you've used a photo for the customization, or it will show you what's nearby in Google Maps if you've gone with a place.

You can start designing your own Live Case in the Google Store right now. One case costs $35, regardless of what design you use.
