Great Product for Someone Else!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product is great and as advertised. If you get motion sickness very easily it's not for you! It's not for me.

It's still a gimmick
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The VR is pretty much always blurry. I'm sure the technology will improve, but right now it still feels gimmicky.

Glad I didn't pay for this.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received this as a free gift with my phone. The $50 gift card that came with it was no good once I scratched off the silver stuff bexcuse the coin was too much for the paper and ruined the code. Could figure out the goggles. Finally just Uninstaller the stuff from my phone. Now my phone has a virus and is slowing down. It's only like a month old! Not happy!

Good, but returned.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked this up on a whim as it was compatible with my S6 Edge+ and the reviews were pretty good. All in all this a very cool device and a lot of fun. Kids will enjoy, and it's neat to kick back in a virtual movie theater . However, a lot of content has to be purchased, files are quite large (no expandable memory in these phones to store it), and the phone does overheat. The Gear VR also fogs a bit at times, which makes it difficult to use. The biggest drawback to me was the "screendoor effect". The phones screens are sharp, just not sharp enough to be magnified to this level causing a low resolution experience. I am returning for the following reasons. Overheating, fogging, expensive content, requires a controller for good games (more money) and low resolution. Also this device is limited to 4 specific phones, and I upgrade to often. Not sure if it will be compatible with the S7 when it is released. Not a bad device, great intro to VR at a great price, but it is gimmicky and gets old pretty quick. Not to mention some people will get motion sickness. It's not a terrible device, and it's probably worth the 99 bucks, but I don't see myself using as much as I originally thought I would due to the issues noted.

It's okay.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My family likes it. It's a little hard to find things on it. If you find it one time you using it you may not find it the next time you use it or you may have great difficulty finding it the next time. However, now I am afraid to use it due to our new Samsung Note 7's not being any good. Am I able to return this product along with our two new Samsung Note 7's?
