    I got this free with my S7e, but had been playing with a Google Cardboard in the past. This is a world beyond that system (not shocking just in build quality given the other one is made out of cardboard). It probably won't hold up visually to the Sony, Oculus, or HTC in a straight up comparison, but it's much better than I was expecting. I haven't played any games yet on it, but the 3D surround videos have been keeping me entertaining. Just make sure you clean your phone's screen first....all those pieces of lint are way bigger when the phone is 2 inches from your eyes.

    Getting this with my new S7 Edge was a nice bonus...I'm glad I didn't pay money for it. While it's a neat entry into the whole VR thing, the number of apps for it is lacking, and the VR movie experience is less than thrilling.

    You must buy one if you have a compatible phone. Experience cannot be described. For under 100$, and the free content available, absolutely worth it.
