    I like it except it can become uncomfortable after 3 hours on your face. The sun is not forgiving either. I fell in love with it at first but after a bit I notice it is kinda bulky for not having much in it. If this is your first VR or looking to grab another one then this is a good one to check out.

    This is truly one of the coolest items on the market. Just be careful if you tend to get motion sickness because this will definitely make your stomach sway. Very cool product but I wish there were more free items because you not only have to pay for the item but EVERY app, movie, and game.

    It's pretty cool, but not worth 100 bucks. Plus to play any games you need a controller too which is like another $75. Since the screen is so close to your face it's kind of a screendoor look. You can see all the pixels when using it.

    I guest I was expecting more. The graphics on the things sucks. You have to make sure you have the correct orientation at the beginning and can not change it by moving up and down. Phone gets to hot to uses it a lot of the times.
