    This is a great product. I rate it a 5 because of the immersion experience. No ding on the product itself, but the apps for it are a bit sparse.

    I read other reviews that said it is not like real life. Well, that's true because it's not real life. It is better. I have watched Netflix on there and it is like watching on a 150" screen. I watch a couple of movies that I purchased on Samsung video and it was just like being in a theater, Other apps were awesome. Like the volcano and being underwater with various fish and some sharks. This is the best thing I have ever seen for your phone.

    The Gear VR is a fun device. Yeah, at times it can be gimmicky, but it's not a $500 device. The games are fun and it's cool to play games in 3D.
