    The 3d is great to watch. A little bulky to wear it.

    The product itself works fine, but there aren't many apps to work with. Was using an app called visoplaces but it wouldn't load for the past few days. Also there isn't any way to send texts, you can receive them but have to take the phone out of the visor to reply.
