    The Gear VR is sooooo cool, my neighbors come over to use! Every person i let try it can't believe how precise it is and the realness. I've had 4 people go out and buy the Gear VR because they used mine.

    This product is awesome but you can tell it 'Samsung early technology. But with this being the first stage great things will surely follow!

    The gear vr had just the functionality i was looking for, i use it to watch 3d movies in a huge "theater", without disturbing anyone else. It is very comfortable to wear and is very addicting to use.

    I saw them in your ad so I came into the store to give them a try. I felt like a kid again. They were so much fun that I just had to buy them. All of my family and friends have enjoyed them just as much.

    This is ok but I literally can't fully enjoy it with all the warnings about the chemicals that can harm a woman's reproductive system.

    only thing I don't like is it can charge you for VR apps and stuff and the front cover does not go back on while in use with the phone

    If you're into watching things in 3D or movies or gaming these goggles are for you!!! very easy to fit and place on your head, very comfortable to wear and your phone sits securely in the device.

    It works as described. Your phone will down load Oculus App after you plug your phone into it. Then you can explore all the possibilities available. I would recommend getting a wireless game controller. It will make maneuvering thru all the VR accessories and Apps way easier. You will get bored with it within a few days as there are not a whole lot a things you can do after watching a video or playing one of the games.

    Daughter uses it to watch Netflix and other things. Just wish I didn't have to take my case off my phone every time I want to use it.

    This is an excellent phone for taking pictures, has a great picture quality for watching your favorite movies or tv shows, and is lightweight. I would recommend this Samsung phone! I give it 5 stars!

    It took me a little while to get the hang of moving around in the VR (from one screen to another) but once I did, it is lots of fun!

    This was a throw in on my Samsung S7 purchase but it brings me into the virtual which I thought I would never enter. Great for netflix showing as Daredevil looked quite impressive on the "big" screen.

    I tried it, it works. I probably will never use it again. It requires the phone to be taken out of its case. Not likely going to do that.

    Son loves it. He had to upgrade his Samsung, but who does not want to do that when its time. Not too bulky or heavy. Glad I got it.
