    I give this item a Meh Plus. It is an upgrade to the literal cardboard entry into VR. But does not work well if you wear glasses. And the lack of head strap makes it inconvenient to use.

    I've given two of these out as gifts now to friends for birthday parties and both times they have ended up being passed around for hours for party guests to play with. This is probably the best version of 'Google Glass' that you can get with it's sturdy plastic construction and nice lenses.

    I've used both an iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus with this Google Cardboard 2.0 unit. They both work well, and the image wasn't too uncomfortable too look at. The lack of some Google apps such as YouTube support on iOS was a disappointment though. The few games I've downloaded for Cardboard through the App Store have been fun enough on their own though!

    Not having a lot of knowledge or interest in Virtual Reality but wanting to experience it first-hand, the Mattel View-Master made for a great option. Its well-built and has held up well after several weeks of use. The clasp is a bit tough, loud, and annoying but it's not more than a mild inconvenience. Wish it allowed for headphones, though.

    I thought it would work more like the old view master but you still need a phone and I was trying to get it more focused but it was difficult and it still was blurry at the end

    I bought this for my niece and she loves them. At first I though they were like old school visors where you use to insert disk to see photographs. but no still I can't complain she likes them I bought her the safari educational program that way she learns about animals and have fun at the same time

    It's a nice VR toy. Wish there were more apps that take advantage of it though. Also, the proximity to your eyes are not good long term. But it's a fun little toy.

    Bought it in store on sale. Kids fought over it, bought another. It "barely" fits my LG v10. I like it. Wish it had a head band, but that's probably why it's so cheap. The offical apps for it are expensive, and take up a ton of space, but I like the equipment.

    It's way better than Google cardboard for the same price but they need to create better content. It's over priced and not very good.

    It seems to work really well for the price. Don't know how it would hold up against more expensive ones but it does just fine. Wish it had a head strap though.

    Once you get used to viewing its not a bad viewer for the cardboard apps. I didn't buy it for the view master apps as they are very child oriented and not that great. For the price it's a fine viewer.
