    It is interesting to see things in this way. I really got it for my kids, and for the grandparents, but I have found it kinda neat too. I like cleaner and crisper pictures when I view movies, and using this for a long period of time is harder on the eyes.

    I absolutely love the Gear VR. It has a nice quality to it, plenty of interesting apps to go with it (Suicide Squad) and watching videos on my phone through it makes me feel like I'm in a theater or in some strange places (like on the moon.) If you have problems with 3D or vertigo you should stay away though as this may cause you some problems.
