    Having loved the idea of VR since I was a little kid having it come to reality and be inexpensive is great. The realism is so much fun and makes games and movies so much better. Now phone screens need to be better to reduce the pixels, since the VR headset magnifies them.

    I have to say that this has been a very fun product to own. Their are only two downsides: 1) if you wear glasses there is not much room in their for them. 2) It really heats up your S7 phone and that makes me nervous.

    I think this is a great product. I think it shows a lot of promise. The problem I see is how much data or storage the 4k file take up in your phone or how much it uses to stream content not to mention how much the content costs to get. It is awesome for Netflix though.

    I got this after pre-ordering my Galaxy S7. I have to admit that I wish I'd have chosen the Gear watch instead, but that's not the VRs fault. So far I've had some fun with it, but I haven't used it to its fullest extent yet. Mostly just to watch videos and play a few games. I do like how you can watch Netflix on it, but I don't really see myself doing that much.
