    VR is greatness. Just like the commercials, you will show everyone. It's instant wow factor. And for the price it's a no brainer.

    I like it and it is really cool. However, I just got the note 7 and it is not compatible with it so will have to purchase the newer one. Kind of works on my note 4 but not totally. Works well on my wifes s7 but she does not like me using it. so will have to get the upgrade. Just make sure it is compatible with your phone.
