I really like this thing, the jump scare games are awesome. Even watching shows in vr is pretty cool. Only problem I have had, is with focus issues if phone is not sitting correctly. Also my galaxy s6 edge overheats after about 30 min to an hr of play. Good thing is the program tells you this as it stops working and says to cool unit. This thing is a great entry into VR, it is better with controller, but the touch controls on the side work great.

This is easily one of the coolest things I've bought in a long time. Takes some time to get set up for the first time but once you set it up, it's a breeze to use. Apps seem to be added frequently and the VR experience is amazing

While the Gear VR is interesting in its effects, the graphics are uneven from app to app, and unless you are a gamer, not of much long-term value.
