    This was the first time I had my own VR system and it is a great product. Sturdy and we'll built, still have mine to this day.

    I love this thing. I've let so many people experience VR, the only downside is, since your phone is in the headset you can record their reactions.

    It is interesting and fun to look through this. But it is a toy to spend your money on.

    I'm not a huge fan of VR but getting this for free with my new Samsung phone was a super cool deal... It's fun but some of the apps cost $$$
