A: My daughter pestered me to buy this device. I couldn't believe that a kid could get any enjoyment out of such a simple contraption, but it was under twenty dollars so I broke down and made the purchase. Nearly a month later she and her friends still find it entertaining.
A: They're very comfortable, lightweight, and a somewhat dense cardboard- IKEA furniture is basically the same thing. I wouldn't get it wet, of course, but honestly for $10, they compare very well to other systems. I would say you want a phone above 4.5 inches, however- the smaller phones didn't fit as well. I've worked for EA Games and have been a software developer nearly a decade, and I found them surprisingly nice.
Q: How do you strap this device to your head? Does it come with a strap?
A: IMHO the Headstrap that comes with it is the weakest part of the design. It is nothing more than a rubber band, and is pretty uncomfortable. I modded mine using an elastic headband removed from a defunct LED headlamp. That only creates one problem which is how to prevent your phone from sliding out the sides. I solved that with a couple of strips of Velcro.
Q: Does this have the interactive click button like the real google cardboard headset?
A: Yes, it has a mechanism for that - basically a little "button" being held up by spongey material or something. It's cheap but so is the headset.
Q: Does this work with iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus?
A: Yes it wold probably work with any phone that will fit into the the cardboard. Please be sure to check to see if the measurement correspond to your phone.
Q: Why is this even a product?
A: Especially with the price drop, it's a good way to see if VR is something for you before investing in an expensive rig. Otherwise, novelty entertainment at best.
Q: will this work with my boost mobile LG Tribute HD phone.
A: Yes, this will work.
Q: Does the cardboard device work for the "plus" size iPhone 6?
A: Yes, I have the iPhone 7 Plus and it fits my phone perfectly.
