    Where can I begin. This little device has assisted me in using my phone in ways I never expected too. The games are unique, it's a great experience and though they might not look like it,they are actually comfortable.

    My son opened this Christmas Eve night and the entire family ended up using it all night. Everyone had so much fun, laughing and trying different apps. They all stayed way later than planned because of this VR.

    Nice gadget. Bit tough to keep on for extended times due to it's weight. Also a bit hard to focus when you use glasses. Very entertaining though.

    An experience unlike anything that you've experienced! Other brancds did not compare. Only challenge is that the phone will get hot after some time, but it lasts long enough for you to be thoroughly amazed!!!

    I love the vr gear. Makes you feel like you are really in the game. Needs better padding though cause there is a little bit light that bleeds through. Only notice it while playing durring the day or in a bright room.

    Easy to setup and good packaging. The manual said it comes with a lens protector/cleaner. It didn't contain a cleaning cloth. If the plastic film/sticker is the lens protector then there's no instructions on how to apply it properly. The phone size setting A or B does not work at all. The plastic slider does not move at all and is locked in a fixed position. Luckily my s7 fits the factory size setting. The VR exerience feels great and works well so far.

    Not a must have but it is a pretty neat toy to have. I found it very entertaining and my younger friends loved the many games and videos available. Very enjoyable and honestly not too expensive for what you get.

    I've been to more places and seen things I never thought I'd have the chance to see. Buy two and take your significant other on a round the world trip and end up in the theater for a little movie time chill.

    This has awesome 3D affects but drains the battery on the phone pretty fast, I haven't had the chance to watch a movie on it yet just watched what is pre loaded.
