Google and Grammy-winning producer Skrillex have unleashed a wacky smartphone case that beams images from space and puts live wallpapers shot by Skrillex's satellite (yes, Skrillex owns a satellite).

The smartphone case will be compatible with Nexus and Android smartphones, including: Motorola Google Nexus 6, LG Google Nexus 5, Samsung Galaxy S5, Samsung Galaxy S6, and Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

The cases will also be only compatible with Android 4.4 and above and need to be synced with the exclusive Live Case app.

It will be launched in three versions: Lil Planet, Circuit Bae, and Space Shield.

Users purchasing the case will also get a sneak peak at his new album, Owsla, on Google Play, and updates relating to Skrillex will be sent directly to the phone.

The cases will be available on the Google Play Store, at the end of next month. No details regarding pricing has been released yet.

Skrillex - real name Sonny John Moore of Los Angeles - is an electronic dance music producer, DJ, songwriter, and singer. He was in a band called From First to Last, where he was their lead singer, but left in 2007 to pursue a solo career.
