Customers are saying

Many also appreciate its reasonable price and compatibility with select Samsung phones, finding it fun and entertaining. However, some users point out that the device drains phone battery life and can cause the phone to become quite warm. Concerns were also raised regarding the resolution and the amount of available content.

    I started with these, but I'm really excited for the release of the PlayStation VR. If you plug headphones in to your phone while it is docked, it ejects the phone. Optics are blurry at the outer edges of peripheral vision.
