    The Samsung - Gear Vr headset is a blast! The only issue I have is the head restraint straps. They are practical and simple. I would like to see Samsung make the restraint system a little more streamlined and stylish. That maybe easier said than done. I will leave it to the design wizards to fix. Great fun is had by all that use this in my family.
