    This is a cool toy. It not amazing or anything, and you can get a headache from playing too long. I wish it worked with my older Note 4 as well as my son's phone. Seems like a lot of money for something that will be dead when the phone is dead.

    The gear vr is a must have accessory for flagship Samsung owners. There are lots of fun games and experiences but my favorite use is watching movies. It now supports Hulu and Netflix streaming as well as your own videos. I fly regularly for work so I just load up my phone with movies and tv shows and escape to my own private theater.

    While the VR wave is still taking off, the Gear VR is a fun, if only currently novel, way to experience virtual reality. Pretty good for $100 if you want to try out the experience before the more advanced (and expensive) sets hit shelves later this year
