Good introductory VR. Focus capability. Padding is basic use, I believe the face padding upgrade should be standard. No carrying pouch provided to protect when not in use.

Have not had the time I would like to but, am intrigued with what is currently available. Should be noted the Oculus does want a credit card number for purchasing any of their content. You do not have to purchase from them though.

Used it more than a dozen times so far and enjoy it. Took some getting use to if you have never wore a VR headset before. Overall, the VR experience is pretty cool.

Bought for my husband after he tried out my daughter's that had one. They both love it. The only down side is you have to take off the phone cover and after a while your phone will get hot but everyone we let try loves it...

I purchased the bundle and I really like it easy to use and you certainly use it in enough games they have. I like it instead of the pad ( being honest) .

Great device. Totally immersive. The added remote is a great new feature. Would give it 5 Stars if it would accommodate the device with its case on.

I have tried several low end vr headsets and found them to be poor quality and uncomfortable. The Samsung version is well made and the first immersive system that is under the $300 price point.

Amazing gizmo. Like being there. I'm having a little trouble figuring the whole thing out, but when I finally get the programs working, it's really cool. I'm not exactly teck savvy, you see.

OMG! I laughed at the commercial but these are really fun. The kids and I are always finding new videos and apps that are very entertaining. Even the free content is worth looking at.

If your interested in VR, this Samsung Gear VR is the place to start, It's cool, but leaves you wanting more and better. I guess that's the idea. For what it is, it does a great job.
