    I bought it for my husband for Christmas. I haven't tried it out yet. But he has. He loves it and uses it all the time. It looks pretty cool. So far he has no problems with it. Would recommend to others.

    I just love it! Found it difficult to get my phone to fit and stay in place at first. Once I got it to work, I loved it! It is so much fun!

    I bought the clear case so I could see my pretty gold phone. I'm very careful with my phone. Looking at this case says otherwise. It's doing an amazing job protecting it as their are knicks in the case.

    Cool product but more games would be good and it uses the phone battery up really fast.

    I like this stuff, very intertaining, but requires more time to play around. The only reason I put 4 stars is because my eyes get realy tired.

    It's a really fun contraption. It took my eyes a little bit to adjust, but it's fun. Also it gives you motion sickness if you're on it too long.

    Content is going to drive the success of the Samsung Gear VR. It kind of reminds me of the early days of video games. Fun for the novelty but until you can do something a little bit more involved than riding a roller coaster or flying a spacecraft there is nothing here that is impossible to live without. No doubt this technology will improve in the years to come. It came free with the upgrade...not sure I would have paid money for it.

    I love this device, it's amazing. I tried the cheap version (fake, cheap that doesn't connect with the phone), but it doesn't feel/works as good as this one. I use it almost every day. Good job guys!

    We got these free with a Galaxy S7 upgrade. The price was unbeatable. These things are crazy fun! So far there are many offerings, yet limited. In a few short months I'm sure these will never leave my face.

    Fits comfortably and is quite amazing to me. I did not grow up with technology, computers took up a whole room. It works well and there are plenty of free things if you aren't into paying for stuff.

    This is a very neat unit. It gives you the first person veiw of a lot of different things from coaster rides, helicopter rides over mountians, to watching videos. There is all kinds of content to select from.

    The videos are really cool to watch, however i do wish there was more that you could do as far as game play, without paying an arm and a leg.

    Love it so much. The ability to charge your phone while using the VR goggles is by far the best feature. If you own a galaxy device this is a must buy!

    I absolutely love this product. Its priced great and performs fabulously. While it is a great product, it has some inperfections like the image is not clear and the apps limited. Over all a great product.
