Not sure, CS replies don't seem massively clued up, worth a punt and soon as received i'll update if i haven't blinded myself that is.

I think the reason it doesn't work on cardboard apps is because it doesn't have a magnet "button" on the side like cardboard does, so you can't select stuff. but you can buy a Bluetooth controller that does the same thing and better. Just be careful if you wear glasses too as a lot of these don't allow adjustments.

Not just going to use it for games / apps, ideal for films and sure the kids will get use out of it :smiley:
As i said for under £9 i'll take my chances but understand your point of view :smiley:

Isn't this better as you get a Bluetooth controller with it??
This one does have a controller and you can wear glasses- what do you reckon? Worth a go? Will fit my iPhone 6 so resolution might not be so bad. Better than the 1990s VR arcade flight sims anyway :smiley:

"If it's poor, i'll stick it on the cat and watch him go crazy (I jest before RSPCA / Police / FBI come and get me)"
Are you sure you don't have a Lion in your house and you've mistaken it for a cat? I had a mate who did that once God rest his soul, anyway if you do find out it's a Lion then the Police won't be a problem I would imagine. One last thing if it's not a cat, do they make smaller VR headsets for pets? Oh of course they don't, but I'm off to Dragon's Den! Get in, knew this year was where I was gonna strike it big!
It is a very nice bit of kit, comfy, well made and fits my 6 plus nicely.
The only negative is the suckers to hold the phone do allow it to slip slightly. It just needs a bit of foam on the bottom edge to stop this.
Not sure what Android offers but IOS has a few apps you can use. im360 is a good one, lots of 360 3d videos.
As for games, they are rather basic. Normally roller coasters or walking about games but it is early days at the moment.

Also they are loads of mods to help you use the "samsung phone" only features and Oculus stuff etc
something as simple as build prop editing and ... your good to go
Google is thy friend Peops
Netflix VR and Oculus... mWahaha gotta love the Modabilty of Android
Also use Trinus VR esp if you are a gamer, I love using it for N64 emulation , GoldenEye is brill
The New Ritechs III dont own them but hmmmm may try them
but bith the fell and I have the version 2's hmmmm
Decisions decisions lol

I've bought one of these in the past. It's great for a test to see if you like the whole VR experience but don't expect it to last forever. Lenses fell out of mine after 3 months.
sbsvideoplayer on android...turns videos stereoscopic so you can watch them on these things...however you are better looking for one with the magnetic button if your on android...not so much on ios...

How does this work for those people (e.g. me) who need to wear reading glasses?

If you have a protector film on the back of your phone I'd be weary of using the suction things as can damage the protector

I have the iBlue one, they are good but when you buy from gearbest be wary that they are built for asian noses, can be uncomfortable on the bridge of westerner noses whereas asians have a flatter nose.

It's great that VR is now here and working brilliantly! I'm told you can't tell the difference between VR and real life anymore, there are thousands of apps and that we'll all be plugged in using them by Christmas.

hahaha lol Im not that bothered and i support Google because they need money for all the "free stuff" they provide
Like the Google Cardboard app that this very threads product relies on!
Everything is tracked anyway...big brother is watching lol but yeh startpage duck duck etc etc no end of alternatives with different features etc, allsorts for allsorts so just go with what you want to use, but I do acknowledge the impact Google has had on the world, they obviously need way to monetize but thats the world we live in, you wouldnt get very far without money

couple of good reviews, taken the chance and ordered. If i like it, i'll look at buying a better model / version

I'm considering getting one with adjustable focal length for my next set, it's a little bit more expensive but I'm considering this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Google-Cardboard-VR-Box-Virtual-Reality-3D-Glasses-Helmet-For-Iphone6Plus-4-7-6-/262038584415?hash=item3d02b77c5f:g:-NAAAOSwYHxWHffq. My eyes would lose focus a lot with the fixed sets which I'm hoping was due to the incorrect focal length.
Will see how it goes and report back
