    Truly only have one real issue with this device... I have to remove my phone from the case in order to use. With an ottor box case, i really dont bother to remove the phone often. My other issue would be headaches as the screen becomes blurry often after a few minutes or so of use. Some video content is not hd which makes the headaches worse. Otherwise just ok cool. Wouldnt buy by itself..mine came in a bundle

    Got this product as a free bonus and my husband spends hours getting lost in the apps and movies. Only wish there were more free options available for consumers to try.

    It is new tech so much of it is still just showing off what it can do. But some of the experiences that it delivers are breathtaking. It is a blast to watch media on!

    This was free with the phone. I wouldn't have purchased it otherwise. The VR is cool, but it doesn't have enough uses for me.

    Looks like a nice product from Samsung. Of course, like most people, I got it for free with purchase of S7. I do not think that it will benefit me so I sold it.

    The VR is a good intro into 3D, My complaint isn't with the headset...more like the Software, lots to download & the Virtual 3D world takes a bit to get use to.
