Picked this up for my wife's Galaxy S8. Very impressive. This is probably the best mobile-VR experience there is at the moment.

The VR I had before did not have the attachment to use with the S8. It is great and easy to use with the free controller.

The VR thing wasn't on my wish list by far. But then I bought the Galaxy S8. This thing was on sale one day so I said why not. I'm so glad I took the plunge! The level of immersion is pretty incredible. The library of apps is beyond what I expected as far as variety of different experiences go. There are games, 360 videos and movies. You can watch Netflix on a huge screen in a pretty slick looking living room. It's just awesome. Just buy it. Don't even think about it like I did.

I have the sg8 and used with my gear vr first use no full warning about pulling it out in sunlight wanted to check it out on my way home. It burnt little lines in my phone while i wore it and was looking around, the product needs ability to access other content like google and 3rd party vr experiences built into the system, i had to purchase an app to use them
