Virtual Reality Viewer - brown

The Insignia cardboard viewer works well with my iPhone. The padding on the forehead area and around the nose makes it comfortable to use. My mom doesn't get around as easily as she used to. Having this viewer has allowed us to "travel" to see some pretty spectacular sights.

If you wanted a quick sample of a VR experience on either a IOS and android device this is the most affordable way. Using the select google cardboard App Store their is a small handful of games and apps you can try. As well as watching VR content offered by sites such as youtube. Don't expect anything mind blowing just standard VR, and with the lack of a head strap be ready to hold this up unless your creative enough to make your own strap.

Cheap entry into 3D games, but i wear glasses, so the field of view wasn't great because it wasn't adjustable. Even with a 2500x1400 screen phone, it was still pixelated, and after a few minutes, got a headache. But it's fun for a few minutes, and maybe longer if you don't wear glasses.

Nice entry into the VR sphere. For the price, there’s not really more you can ask for. It’s still a pretty cool experience.

A nice idea, but to simple to break, the cardboard is too weak, good for small kids to play

I considered these when they were $9.99 just for the gimmick. They're cardboard, it's handheld with no way to strap to head, there's no way to control the media without removing the phone/device from the enclosure and the media offered is limited. However, I jumped on the deal when it was only $1! All that said, I think this is the perfect way to get an idea of a VR experience. This will not be an item you'll use much. Either you're blown away and you'll devote to a high end VR rig or you'll enjoy for a day or so and it'll sit on your shelf not to be used again. For the price, it could scratch an itch or decide for you if VR is your thing without utter buyer's remorse. YouTube has media to use with this and there are several apps one can download to try out VR. Not reflective of this product but most apps make you pay for HD media which is needed to really experience this platform of entertainment. Just FYI.

This was an impulse buy. I saw it on sale for about $3 so I said to myself “eh why not?” I’m not very tech savvy so after about an hour figuring this out it was totally worth it. The virtual reality was hilarious to me. At one point while still learning an animal in the tutorial startled me. I’ve never experienced the VR world and this was a great way to start. I gave it a 4 only because it can get a bit tiresome having to hold it with both hands the whole time, but that’s what the expensive ones are for I guess. Anyway if you want to just try the VR world then this is a great start for more than half off the Big Brand prices.

If you just want a cheap and easy way to check out Google Cardboard or other apps for VR, you really can't ask for anything more (or less) than this. Surprisingly, the button interface actually works better than a few of the more expensive and sturdier versions I tried. It makes me want to get a more expensive VR set-up but none of the ones I have tried have done that well with the iPhone, this one has actually done the best.
