    Great fun for a handful of hours to a new user. However, content is limited even with the pay-to-play apps. Great to share with the family.

    Worked just fine with my S8 phone which it is designed for. Still figuring out some features and how to interact with other S8 based VR apps.

    Not too bad for a first time VR experience. It is a little overpriced for what it is.

    This is great for entertaining people of all ages. It is so fun watching content in VR however it is obviously not perfecct nor as good as computer VR which would cost thousands.

    Well, I would like to say that I use the vr as much as I wished, but I don't have that much time. Other than that, the few times I've used, I was impressed and had fun.

    Works great! Works well with screen protectors, but thick rubber holsters will have to be remove from your phone, for you phone to fit into position in VR headset. Enjoy!

    Samsung is a top quality product and the Gear VR does exactly what its supposed to do. It was really fun at first and there were no issues with the product at all other than it gets old quick. We used it for about 2 hours and then it sat for about 2 weeks so I ended up returning it. Not something I would recommend.
