    Bought as gift for my son - he really enjoys it. He was passing it around to his siblings and nieces / nephews - now they all want one. The 3-D effect is quite realistic.

    It's pretty cool to use. The clarity is a bit disappointing but that's a function of the resolution of the phone

    All the bells and whistles, I don't use it my daughter does and she is happy with it. Great features and camera.

    Pretty cool. Got it with my phone for free. I think it would be better on a 4K screen once better content is out

    This device was a freebie with my Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge. Honestly, I had plans of purchasing one anyway. The device is great if you can handle the screen so close to your eyes.

    Having the Galaxy with AT&T and DirectTV I am able to stream movies and see it on this in 3D while on trips. Is awesome. My kids are entertained for long period of time.

    Did not purchase, came with Samsung Galaxy phone purchase. I probably would not have purchased, but it has been fun. Lots of cool things to watch. May cause motion sickness.

    It's a fun toy but not something that will get much use. I had a bunch of credits I used so it's cheap fun for me!

    Focusing can be an issue depending on your eyeglass prescription. Not a contact lens wearer. Otherwise 5 stars.

    I really like Samsung products. I was able to get $50 off with Samsung pay when I bought a Note 5. I get a kick out of showing friends and family members using the my VR.
