    This thing is pretty awesome but it's a pain in the back side to take my S7 out of the Otterbox every time I want to use it

    I received this as a free gift with the purchase of my Note 5. Its a cool idea, I just don't know when I'd use it. I'm a working mom/wife, so real life is just about all the reality I can handle...if I had a quiet moment to use it, I'd probably fall asleep. Definitely a novelty. I'd never purchase one.

    My daughter loves the VR glasses. Her only complaint is she can only use them so long as she feels sick after a while.
