    The Gear VR came with my S7 Edge. The demos are interesting, but my eyes just don't work well enough to appreciate the VR goggles. Add to that the chromatic aberration from the cheap optics, and I think this may be a re-gift!

    My daughter wanted this for her birthday. Had to purchase a remote later baecause you can't play VR games without it. Overall, she is happy with the product, just wishes it could be used longer without heating up.
