    This is my second one (lost the first). Works great and is so much easier than carrying my Oculus. Works well as long as you have an S6 or S7.

    Good tracking, great lenses. Best to use it in short burst to prevent phone from over heating. Great for watching movies in 3D.

    Although there are more expensive VR units out there, this is the best value play. Works great if you have a Samsung Galaxy S6 or S7 smartphone.
