    My first experience with VR and I have to say WOW! I have the Samsung Galaxy Nite 8 and it fits and works great! Cons: double vision a lot. No adjustments for the eye distance apart.

    This VR headset is the best one I have had so far (I've had many) and I had to say I am very impressed with it! The only complaint I would have it the app needed on your phone to use this is the "oculus" app. There isn't a wide variety of options on the game side of things and most of the downloadable content you have to pay for but there is plenty of other stuff to keep one entertained for a loooong time. Now if only they can make it where you can mirror your TV to your phone and play xbox with the VR headset... Now we play the waiting game *crickets chirping in the distance.
