    I was going back and forth whether I should buy this. After reading a ton of reviews I decided to pull the trigger. I was not disappointed! I downloaded Temple Run VR which actually made me a bit queasy. The graphics were AMAZING!!!! 11 minutes into the game I got the warning that my phone was overheating and need to cool down for optimal performance. So, I took my phone out and let it cool down. This happened several times throughout playing multiple games. I think this is a super cool product. My only drawback would be the heating of the phone issue. It would be cool to go an hour or so without seeing that warning. I'm going to return it. Not because it's not a good product. But only because I would like more consistency while playing.
