    I like the imagery and clarity. You feel like you're completely in a new environment with this. Only realy three complaints. First the discomfort after a few minutes wearing it. It could use better padding still and better support for the weight of the phone. It tends to be too tight to get it to stay in place and leaves temporary red marks on my face. Second the focus is primarily only the center of your view. The peripheral vision is blurred and reading is difficult despite the adjustments. Third is you receive your notices still like for incoming email and texts, but no way to actually read them or respond. So you have to dismantle the whole thing just to read and respond.

    Not a bad toy to have and play with, but I couldn't use it for too long cause it makes me a little dizzy. Not sure if that is a general complaint, but it does that to me. My daughter also used it and could only use it for like 20 minutes at a time.
