    The gear vr note edition is a really nice piece for getting into vr. One issue is the usb c piece came off once dropping my phone, luckily onto my lap. Pay attention to the little piece when using.

    I have 3 VR (1st that only supports Note 4 and a 2nd for my Samsung s7 edge. Now that I also have a Samsung Note 8 I also needed a new VR that would support the Samsung Note 8!

    From playing games to laying on my back watching a huge screen in Netflix to visiting places across the world in VR with my Samsung galaxy s8+ is hands down the best gift I have ever received for all occasions in the history of things.

    We recently bought this as a birthday gift for my son who turned 14 and he loves it. I tried it myself, the graphics are good and the available apps are pretty cool too.

    I purchased this item as an "open box". Wasnt sure of what to expect so I made sure to ask about the return policy of such items. Turns out its the same as a new item. Bought it home and inserted my Note 8 in it. Wow! I went on a journey. So glad I bought this. I had Mom try the roller coaster video. She's 78 years old. She screamed and laughed the whole time. I really like the remote feature. Money well spent!

    This is one of the best investment that I have ever made in my lifetime. How can they make this equipment? Modern technology is so awesome! Do I need to say anymore? Go get yourself one!

    The headset performs great once the phone is seated, but it occasionally takes some pushing to get the phone fully into the system.

    I was in the store and this was the last one. Was not looking to spend this much but had Samsung galaxy note 8 which this fits. Guy behind me whispered "Oh looks like he has the last one" I had the box in my hand reading it. I could not put it down at this point and decided to go for it. I am so glad I did. This thing is awesome I can access all the apps on my phone too with the Samsung cast too unbelievable!!!!

    This is the same as last year's model with a tiny tweak to work with the Note 8. Lots more light bleed than the Consumer Edition

    Best accessory for the Note 9

    These VR goggles are the best accessory for my Samsung Note 9 phone. I think they are better than the Oculus goggles because you are not tied to a computer, they don't overheat and the battery lasts a long time (and they cost less). They are a lot of fun at parties seeing peoples reaction to VR for the first time.

    It is very fun and very immersive However the remote needs to be calibrated often as well as the headset during gameplay.

    Best cellphone VR experience around. The headset doesn't get hot and has a much larger viewing angle.
