    The device is very comfortable around my head and eye area along with the comfortable cushioning around the ocular area of my face. The real world experiences along with the animated ones are out of this world. This is a product you have to use to feel the outstanding real world experiences. I would recommend it to all ages. Great job samsung this is an absolute blast to interact with.

    I bought this so my children could watch movies while we drive to Florida, it works fine and looks great but unless you have Netflix or like myself know how to upload and download movies and change back the phone settings this could be overwhelming to some I wouldn't buy it again.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
