Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Speck Pocket VR Virtual Reality Headset Plus CandyShell Grip Samsung Galaxy S7 Case - Black (Retail Packaging) by Chef Deane

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Funny but expensive toy

This item is a case and mount (with lenses) for VR with your iPhone. It should be obvious, but if you're looking for a VR headset (like one with a headband), this isn't it. The body is pretty solid. You can find a more durable case like an otter case or rescue case. I prefer not to have a case as (like most cases) it adds bulk to your phone which can be uncomfortable. The holder/headset itself has two lenses; It folds up to easily fit in your bag. The headset also has a QR code that most applications need to scan and calibrate. The distance between the lenses can't be changed, so if your eyes are closer or farther away than average it can feel a bit wonky. This cannot be changed. Your phone is held in place by pulling on the two sides of the holder/headset so it doesn't slip into the headset like other VR headsets I've seen. I haven't had any issues with this, but I think the phone could be more secure. VR is still in its infancy. There are many cool apps, viewers, games and of course porn. It reminds me of the early days of computers. I've played with it a lot and it's a lot of fun. All my friends loved playing with it too. The only thing I like about this product is the price. You can use Google Cardboard (a box of lenses) for about $15. There are also such products for around $30 or $40. I recommend everyone to try Virtual Reality on their phone; But I would probably advise you to check Google Cardboard first.
