    I wasn't sure what to think about these "goggles" I had to put on my head to watch something, but man, It was unbelievable how so real it was to watch ANYTHING!! I have to say, what a great product! Especially videos I recorded on my phone from Disney, I watched them again feeling like I was there all over again.

    Great VR for Samsung phones without glasses

    This is a great VR gear for the Samsung phones. It was mention that glasses can be used with it, but it would depend on what type of glasses are used. My glasses started to scratch the lens on the VR after wearing it a few times. Had to stop wearing mine while using the VR gear to from scratching the lens surface. Overall it's a great product.
