    This is a great buy for those who would want to get started with VR. Feel a little uneasy with having a cell phone stuck to your face. I wouldn't recommend getting a screen protector on your phone. You will see every scratch and the texture of it.

    It's super fun watching 360 videos and playing games. My whole family loved it, also I would bring it to family parties. They even enjoyed it especially they like the scary 360 videos. What sucks was that most really good apps aren't free.

    take a little to get it to sit on your face at a good comfortable eye level but some of the games I received with the pre order were good, Esper2 and Dead Secret are entertaining, Gunjack is addictive... the only issue I have noticed is not with the Gear VR but with the Galaxy S7.. it gets very hot after using it for a long period,

    Another great product from Samsung. Its so cool and provides countless hours of entertainment. The only problem I have is that it says in the manual not to let anyone under the age of 13 to use the VR. My daughter tested it out before I was aware of this and is begging daily to experience it again. Awesome little device

    This simple VR transports you to a different world. View adjusted well and I was able to use it without my glasses! (I have a very strong prescription) Only reason i did not give 5 stars was that the glasses get uncomfortable after a while
