    VR is really fun to play with and funny to watch other people play with it. I like the games but I get motion sick if I play with it too long. The only thing I worry about is being able to play it if I switched from a Samsung phone. I don't plan on it but you never know.

    The visual effects in this product are outstanding. The fact that these "goggles" can turn a Samsung smart phone into this virtual world is amazing. Go to best buy today and check it out for yourself. You will take it home... And only 100 bucks. Very happy with my purchase. Get yours today!

    Got this free with the purchase of my new phone. I've used it for a few different things but haven't had a chance to really explore it in depth. It would be nice if there were more options in the store for free items or to be able to preview something before buying it.
