    As far as a light and portable vr device, this is pretty cool. Just need to make sure your phone is working at 100% and you have a very fast and reliable wireless connection. If not, download to your phone then watch the content. Just make sure you have pleanty of free space.

    I bought it for use with my S6. Unfortunately, it overheats too often to really enjoy using it. That said, while playing the smash game it was pretty awesome. If they can fix the overheating it would be really awesome.
