    It is a great headset to use with the Galaxy s8. However, it is cumbersome to at times attach and detach the phone. It seems that social media is intertwined with the software, but as i don't use social media, I can still use it but needed to go into the settings to disable it and needed to go into privacy settings.

    This is my first VR headset and it did not disappoint. There is so many things to do like watch movies on a big screen, play games by yourself or with friends, enjoy social media in new ways and so on.There are endless possibilities with this technology and I can wait to see what's in store for the future.

    VR generally is very cool but it makes me rather nauseous. This rig is basically a step up from the cardboard box approach but you can't beat the cardboard box approach for how cheap it is. The nice feature with this rig is the handheld navigation remote that comes with it.

    I wanted to see what VR was like (other than cardboard). Not a gamer so just wanted an intermediate price model to see what it's all about. Seems fairly well put together although having to take my phone out of the case every time is slightly annoying
