    This is pretty cool if you have the Galaxy S8, S8+ or the Note 8.

    These are fun and interesting easy to use and a few of the games ive found on em are cool. Some glitches with certain apps and the handheld remote but nothing serious.

    The fit is pretty comfortable for a while. I would highly recommend wireless headphones or earbuds. Best s used in a darker room for a more realistic experience.

    Well made device which is compatible with both micro USB and USB-C. Great interface but handheld remote should be easier to use. Number of apps I tested either did not work or crashed during use. Used with Note 8.

    It works, but apps on phone are choppy. Maybe phone due to it being a little older, S7. Cant compliance though. I want really looking for one when I got it. It was open boxand price was low so I said why not. So cost was fine for what I paid. When it isn't choppy, it's really cool, so much so I now want the one that doesn't require a cell phone. I never even thought of purchasing, now have to have. I would recommend for entry into VR.
