    This came for free with my phone. I would not have purchased it normally. The VR affects are remarkable but the resolution is disappointing, but what do you expect for free. I would recommend this but only if it is free with the phone. Personally I would not pay $100 for it.

    The VR goggles are fun. I can't wear them for an extended period of time without getting a bit of a headache but that may be me. It is a bit of a pain to have to take the phone out of the case whenever you want to use the goggles. That is the main reason for 4 starts. The apps are cool. I like watching netflix with them on.
