    Got it when on sale for about 20 bucks. Works well for the price. My note 4 will not fit in it with the case on so I have to either remove the case or hold it in place by hand.

    This is so cool for kids. I'm 31 and I was shocked at how cool it was. Works with any phone for the most part.

    I've read about Google cardboard and I've tried the Oculus Rift and this is a nice compromise of the two. Tons of new apps being released all the time. Haven't really used the actual view master apps too much but tons of other things in the App store

    Reminiscent of the Viewmasters from the old days. It is a nice starter for kids into the world of VR. Very limited films so far...only 3 vr films at the moment,,,,hopefully that will change soon. Otherwise kids will lose interest in it....

    This is a cool device, but it's really lacking without any type of headband of way to strap it to your head. Without hands-free operation, I quickly stopped using it. For my first VR experience it was fun, but there are much better choices out there now.

    Works pretty well, fits the iPhone 6S Plus no problem. Doesn't really fit that well over my glasses and my glasses are narrower than normal, so that may be a worry for anyone with glasses. Wish it had a strap to hold it on my head. Wish they sold the expansion packs digitally. Other than that, the VR experience is great, the ViewMaster apps are good as well and it supports and Google Cardboard apps.

    Got this for my 7 year old's birthday. The headset can work with any Google Cardboard app, just change the settings to the right device. I like it that he has to hold it up so he has to take breaks. As far as the View Master software, getting the apps to register that you have the physical discs is tricky. I recommend just paying for the apps in the app store for ease of use.

    You get the starter pack and the 3 sets and you're done they only go so far to keep kids interested. Hopefully view master will come up with more discs soon

    Better than cardboard...

    Look, you can fold a bunch of cardboard and do DIY for ten bucks, or you can drop over a hundred on high end googgles. These are at a sweet spot where you can get VR for a decent price. My only complaint is that they don't snap shut well. They're cheaply constructed, and with a few minor design tweaks, could be so much better.

    Nice Goggles - Great Price - Hard to open

    These goggles were very reasonably prices, the adventure packs were expensive to go with them, but we purchased one to try. They are simple to use, but hard to open. There is definitely a trick to getting into them. The videos are great and our daughter loves them, whenever friends come over we have them try them out.

    I have always wanted to try out a VR headset to use with my Samsung Galaxy S4. I didn't want to initially spend a lot of money, as I wasn't sure if it will work for me as I have to wear glasses for near sightedness. In addition I wanted something sturdier than a Google Cardboard VR viewer. Well, the View Master VR Starter Pack delivered on those counts. Even though I wear glasses. I was able to use this product without my glasses. Within minutes after installing the Google Cardboard App, I had configured the View Master VR headset to work with my S4 and I was going through the intro & learning how to go through the menus and viewing the introductory VR material. After trying a few other Google Cardboard Apps, I've been able to satisfy my curiosity as to what the excitement about VR is all about. Yes, this initial experience would not be the same as on one of the more expensive models, but it lets you try out VR on the cheap with a plastic viewer instead of a cardboard one for a small initial investment.
