    When I first saw this in the store I just shook my head and walked off. Curiosity got the best of me so I went back to the Samsung area and tried the item on. Was I surprised. It is truly one of the great new gadgets. I stayed and played with it for an hour. I liked it so much I bought one for a Christmas present for my son.

    Not Practical

    So I got these goggles free as part of my phone purchased through Verizon. And to me the goggles are practical you have to take your phone case off then insert your phone into the goggles and make sure that they fit then wrap the goggles around your head and make sure that they fit on properly. Then before that you have to download the apps that go to the goggles themselves mind you it burns up your battery like crazy and I just don't see how having the goggles is a practical function the VR experience for the goggles is overrated in my opinion

    Although not a "premium" VR experience, the GearVR is still pretty cool. The games and movies I tried were neat little experiences. The only gripe that I had really was the comfort, or lack there of. I wear glasses so that probably didn't help.

    It is by no means great VR but you get the experience all the same. Has an Oculus app that lets you download VR apps and games for it. It is light so wearing it for a bit isn't bad. Needs more software to use it with but fun to play with for free.
