A: This Gear VR (consumer version) is only compatible with S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+ and Note 5. I believe you can look up the Innovator Edition for compatibility with Note 4.
Q: how come i cant order this online or in a store?
A: Samsung was not prepared to meet the demand the GearVR ended up producing. At this point, they are back ordered everywhere.
A: This is the CONSUMER version of Gear VR. The last 2 were "Innovator" editions meant for developers.. It is BETTER.. Lighter with improved touch pad and a charging port.. They had a fan on the second Innovator but this ONE does not.. but there is NO fogging issue.. ALSO The Note 5 doesn't overhear until 1-2 hours, unlike when the Note 4 would within 10-20 minutes..
