    It's actually pretty cool. I got this for free for getting a new phone but really enjoy it. There is a lot of content available for free which is nice. I ended up using this significantly more that I thought I would. Only downside is if you keep it on for a while the screen tends to get foggy. I recommend warning up the lenses before use. 30-60 seconds with the blow dryer on low setting on the inside lenses and it is much less of a problem.

    I bought this for my son and he loves it. We cannot seem to find a lot of applications for it right now, but we have found is a lot of fun. Graphic clarity could be better, but again, for the cost, it is very good. We are at the point where we want to explore applications that cost money to see how exciting and interesting those are.
