    This thing is sweet. A pain to keep clean but that's just how it is. Also try not to wear makeup or let others that wear alot of makeup use it. You can wash the pad but it starts to feel yucky after awhile.

    We are having fun playing with it. Looking forward to more. We enjoy sharing it with friends and seeing their reactions. I like that you can plug your headphones in and not bother anyone around.

    Samsung gear vr

    The concept is great but the execution could use some work. For me, no matter how much i adjust it the clarity, it never gets clear, forcing my eyes to compensate, and it gives me a headache.

    I bought this newer version to have a spare, but quickly found it to be way better than the original. Lighter with easier buttons. I can't wait to try it with the Note 7.

    not only is it better then my original gear vr, due to the larger field of view, but it even works with my pixel xl due to the usb c port option.

    Bought this with big hopes. After days on the phone with samsung I find that I have a defective device. Plug it in and all i get is a mouse cursor. Returning soon. Hopefully I can give 5 stars when I get one that works. Terrible overseas tech support btw. But a samsung rep from TX called me back to go over everything and was very helpful.

    I played a game on this device, and it was 100 times better then playing it on a simple screen. It is also amazing for watching videos online.

    It's amazing that this works with my giant framed glasses, and there is a huge amount of content on the Gear VR and Oculus Stores.
