    Love this. We use it all the time. Even with the little kids. Only down fall is I have to take my phone case off to use it.

    My son loves it. Sort of pricey for the games. I can see this getting old fast.

    The VR is fun to play with but the picture stays a bit fuzzy even after zooming.

    Servers Down

    Used with GS6. I bought this for my son and the Samsung servers were down for 3 days. I'm sure it's great but it would not even let me download the Occulus software because the servers were down. Samsung told me to wait a couple of days. Never came back up. We switched to the Pixel and their VR is great.

    I really like the build of this VR headset. I tried the Google cardboard and let me tell you it's a night and day difference.
