So, a Like New BoboVR from Amazon for only £13.66. I received mine yesterday and it came complete with instructions, all packaging (including protective film) and was, well, like new.
I figured at this price it was worth a punt and, while it's no Oculus Rift, it's a marked improvement over the cardboard-style VR goggles. It comes with built in stereo headphones to enhance the experience.
Of course, there's a massive amount of 3D content now on Youtube too. Just search VR 360 and when the video starts playing click the Cardboard icon to go VR!

Not sure about iPhone but I have a Redmi 4X Note 5.5". It's got a 1080x1920 screen resolution and the picture quality through the Bobo headset is pretty good. Not sure I'd watch a movie through it, but the odd Youtube experience and VR game is pretty cool.

Had a feeling that android phone were better suited. Especially higher resolution screen, ideal for higher end phone such as s8?
These headsets tend to magnify the screen so the higher resolution the better.

The z5 premium smashes, maybe it's over kill. Yeah the iPhone 7 plus doesn't fair well comparing to higher end androids. Thanks for the link. Bought one just to have in case I jump ship or apple decide to move with the time.

That's the nature of technology.
