I got this to use with my ipod touch, but it works even if the screen is a bit smaller but you can adjust the sights closer to focus on the smaller screen. You have to pad the magnetic-closed panel to get the ipod touch or smaller devices to sit in position because it's designed for thicker phones or smaller tablets.

I bought this product to get my first experience with VR. I felt that it was heavier than it should be, the latch that keeps the device inside it was hard to open and close. It did accomplish what I wanted (to try out VR) but it's definitely not a long term, quality device.

So far this item is ok. Its a little difficult getting the viewing to match up. The remote is connected to phone via blue tooth. The remote is very clunky and the instructions are not the best. The learning curb to learning to use this product is not the best, not even average. But i am still giving it a try as would like to experience the Virtual experience as promised.

Thought this would be a good intro to vr but I was wrong. Couldn't stand it. 1)heavy and uncomfortable 2) remote functions did not work properly on iPhone 3) blurry no matter how much I adjusted it

I purchased this from Best Buy daily deal special. I have an iPhone 6Plus and thought it would be cool to watch Netflix or play my games on this device. The experience was less that satisfying. The screen was split in the middle and things didn't line up correctly even after adjusting all the knobs, dials and sliders. The remote was just as bad. I even let my sister with a iPhone 5S trying it our and it didn't work for her either.
To be fair this is the only independent VR device I have ever tried besides an Oculus gaming system. I'm not trying to compare the two but after using something like that, my expectations are pretty high
It was promptly returned for a refund.

Very good headset for the price range

The Sunpak VR headset is a very comfortable headset, it does become noticeably heavy after extended use, however this is the case with any VR Headset. The case is made entirely of plastic but does feel flimsy at all, rather very robust and has excellent access to charge and headphone ports. Magnets hold phone compartment closed in which has foam pads pushing the phone against the housing. The pads and magnet hold the phone in place very securely and I have no concern of my phone falling out or getting scratched as the pads are very soft. There are several adjustments available including a telescoping feature, which is great for finding the correct focus point for the device and specific user. In my use I have found this is different for each person especially if they have corrective lenses. There is also lens width adjustment that allows the user to adjust for better viewing angles for the video and eye locations that will differ with the user. This feature works well but it would be nice to have more movement as well as better fine adjustments. However that being said, this is a $15 VR headset and in this case you get what you pay for. The final feature is the included remote which is a extremely useful. I used this with an iPhone 6S and worked great, but did not work as a joystick but rather a playback control device. This is still extremely useful as otherwise the user would have to open up the case every time to adjust volume, pause, skip or rewind a video in a playlist. There are two modes set by a switch on the side labeled Android and iOS both seem to have the same functionality on iOS and I have not been able to test functionality on Android. Overall this is a great VR headset that won't break the bank, it has comfortable padding, fair adjustments, and has little light seepage through the telescoping feature and some light coming in around the nose. The remote also adds a lot of extra functionality and is useful even when not using the headset
