    This was really cool, I anticipated it being very low tech and unimpressive, but it actually was pretty cool. It obviously will get better, and as of right now still is jusut starting. Will be nice to see how the technology is in 5 years..

    Comfortable to wear and fun to use! Only thing I wish it had was a cover to protect to lens on the side that sits on your head. There is no cover and I am always afraid of dust that might get in from storage. I suggest finding it a case

    Virtual reality is amazing, and this VR is great for the price. Only thing is that you need to take off your case from the Phone to use it.

    The whole family has been using the Gear VR and we are all having so much fun with it! Every once in a while a program will malfunction and the screen will freeze but that is usually after the phone has been in use for an hour or so.

    Cool concept but it's just not my thing. I tried it and did not care for it. Don't get me wrong though they did work great and were simple to use, I just don't care for the VR stuff.
