    As a VR item, this HMD is only so-so. If you can afford it, go for an oculus or Vive to get the positional tracking and other features that really makes VR pop. If you already have an S6/S7, this HMD is a no-brainer for $100 to see (at least a little) what VR is about.

    When we signed our new contracts with our Samsung7 phones the VR gear was included. Not knowing what to expect we took them home and started playing around with them. We are officially hooked and I'd personally recommend them to anyone. There's plenty of free games etc on there to get you started and there's endless videos to watch. Loving the virtual reality technology and excited to see the new things that they come out with on it!

    This is a really neat gadget, and a low cost of entry into VR by using your GS phone. Best to use this sitting in a swivel chair, as you get disconnected from the real world pretty quickly. You'll need a BT game controller to get the full effect of many of the games available. The phone does get hot after extended use in this. Those looking for the full VR experience will eventually want to step up to the more expensive PC-based systems.
