    This is a great addition to an android. Great technology. It is a bit heavy after a period of time.

    After purchasing this item, it was great but drains my battery life on my phone so don't really use it. I can not get the movie my niece wanted to watch in the store. They were extremely rude at this store so I would not go back and ask for help from them.

    Interesting device for sure. Everyone in the family gave it a try and were amazed. I wish it were easier to adjust from person to person but it has to calibrate each time. Also kind of a hassle to take off the phone case and put it in. Still really fun to play with. Hoping eventually the price of items to view/play will go down.

    The product is a great idea viewing places that some will never be able to travel to is wonderful. The inky problem I have with this is that it's only after you get the product that u find out u need a controller to play a lot of the games and that's not even offered or hard to find. It should be included with the vr gear.
