    Solid entry point into the VR experience

    The Gear VR serves as a unexpected treat for those that have a Note 5, S6, or S7 device. I was not expecting much from the device. I thought that it would serve as a novelty item for a few moments, then stop using after a while. But after playing games, watching Netflix, my phone media, and 360 media - I now realize that VR has serious potential, The GearVR serves as a solid entry point into the realm of VR.

    I like the idea of the VR headset but it gets a little unconformable after wearing it for long periods of time. Also, when viewing Netflix it would be nice to be able to lie down but when you do that you are staring at the virtual ceiling.

    I thought VR was going to be cheesy, but it is actually a lot of fun! It is an experience you have to see to believe. My only complaint is that there is a little light leakage at times that is kind of annoying. It usually only happens when switching between the menus so not a deal breaker by any means!

    Best VR experience for a phone

    I've tried several of the cheaper models available for phones. Samsung VR is the best buy far. You do need an up to date phone, but the experience is flawless. I actually like using it for surfing the net and watching Netflix the most. Imagine watching your movies on a 27 foot screen. It's that impressive. Games are cool too. But I don't have time to get too into most games. This is a great buy.
