    It came to use damaged.
    It's pretty cool but it was missing the velcro on the sides and we had to exchange it and the top portion was coming apart like it was used when we purchased new.

    Reviewed in Canada on August 31, 2018
    Anyone who is looking for an entry VR viewer should get this product since it is great for starting out and getting a feel of what VR is like. There are some drawbacks like light leak and people with glass larger that the box dimensions may not fit but overvall a great product to start VR viewing with.
