Works fine. Minor flaws.
tl;dr: Worth it, but only from Best Buy. First thing: I don't use this with the intended View-Master software, but rather as a Google Cardboard VR device. And as a Cardboard device, it works exactly like it's supposed to. Split the screen into two parts, one for each eye, get the intended 3D effect. Plus the button on the top right that causes a tap on the middle of the screen where you can't see for various different things, like video re-centering. There are a couple of issues that likely aren't dealbreakers, but they should be noted. First, there's no access to your phone for things like charging or cooling (i.e. ice pack to the back of the phone). Depending on your phone's thermal output or battery use, this could be a very bad thing. Second, there's no way to strap it to your head; you have to hold it at all times. Usually, there's no problem here. But if you want to use this and a Bluetooth game controller, then you've got a problem. All in all, it's worth it at the $20 price point that Best Buy sells it for. Don't get it elsewhere; it's more expensive, and at those prices you'll be better off getting a different Google Cardboard viewer, with charging access and a head strap.

Good VR toy
My son enjoyed watching this but he also wished that it is like the oculus or other VR tools that will have a strap that he could put around his head and be handsfee. Otherwise, it was good for its price and our son appreciated it. We like the samples it came with especially the one pertaining to space. Our young son found it cool.

Fun for the kids
Overall, a fun experience for the kids. Not big enough for an adult who wears glasses, but fine for a child with glasses. The software is OK, but you're also open to any of the google vr compatible apps as well. For some of the VR experiences, you need a lot of room to walk around. On the goggles, it would be nice if there was a head strap to hold them up.
