but it was still very easy to assemble
Tabs were not numbered/labeled, but it was still very easy to assemble. No instructions were included. It states that it will fit up to a 6inch screen, but that was accurate either. If you have a giant phone, look elsewhere. Otherwise, this requires some finagling to fit and work.

VR for under $20?? What's not to like??
The good: It fits my Galaxy Note 4 just fine (minor exceptions below). It not only fits my phone, but the other side fits my glasses, as well, so I'm not courting a headache by having my glasses squished to my head as with the smaller model. I can watch my 3D movies (hsbs) with it just fine. It come with a "divider" piece which keeps the eyes from looking at the wrong side of the screen. That was something that my first one didn't have, so I had jury-rigged one from the extra cardboard. I was glad to see it came "built in" on this version. It also comes with a head strap that wasn't mentioned in the description.The bad: In spite of what is said in the description, there are no written instructions, nor are the tabs numbered, but assembly wasn't a problem anyway. The headband holds the cardboard to your face quite snugly, but if you really want to use it that way for any period of time, it would be a good idea to stick some sort of padding on them where they contact your face. Otherwise, it's going to get uncomfortable really fast. As I mentioned, this fits my Galaxy Note 4 just fine, almost too well. I had to do some minor surgery and make cutouts for the power button and volume up/down buttons, or the cardboard would depress them when I put my phone in it's slot. Two minutes with an exacto knife fixed that issue right away.The ugly: Nobody likes to have "leftovers" when assembling something. I'm sitting here staring at two rubber bands, and I have no idea what to do with them. Since there were no instructions included, and I can't seem to find them anywhere on the pictures of the assembled cardboard, I'm at a loss. I'll probably spend useless hours searching the web to find out and still come away empty. If anybody knows off hand, please enlighten my ignorance. Maybe rubber bands are just too low tech for me or something. :) Update: I found it! The rubber bands are to help hold your phone in place if you don't think it's secure enough. I won't be using them, and this cardboard is sized to fit my phone nice and snugly, without any chance of escape!The VERY Ugly: We all know that there is a price to pay, and this is no exception. Not only will this product will lead you do things that will drain your battery at rates you may have thought impossible, it will get you into serious trouble with your boss if you start sneaking peeks at work. Keep your charger, a spare charged battery and the help wanted ads handy, just in case.And though one would think it could go without saying (but, based on the number of idiots who text while driving, it apparently can't), don't try to use Google Cardboard while you're attempting to drive,or do anything else that requires the ability to see and/or use your brain. Listen to a good audiobook instead, and let your imagination supply the pictures.

Not Designed Correctly
I have a Note 3 and my wife has an S4. I first bought the black Mi3D cardboard just to try out since it was cheap. It worked great but my Note 3 was a little too big to be held in by the flap. But the VR stuff worked so good, I decided to order this model since it was bigger and said it would fit the Note 3 & 4, etc. I'm sorry to say it was disappointing. The construction is fine, nice heavy cardboard, easy to assemble and all that, but the distance from your eyes to the lenses and especially the distance from the phone to the lenses is way too far. Also, my Note 3 does fit in it, but the flap always presses the power and/or the volume buttons which is annoying. Cutouts could easily be done to fix that, but the far bigger problem is the viewing distances.Because of this greater distance, the edges of the cardboard come into the field of view, everything is not quite focused sharply, and you don't feel immersed in the VR. It's more like looking at it through a tunnel or hallway. If I didn't have the first cardboard for comparison I might not have realized the big difference. But as it is, I much prefer putting my Note 3 in the smaller cardboard set (Mi3D) and holding the flap manually.. The focus is just right with that one, and most importantly the field of view is just right so you feel immersed in the VR.I'll probably make the attempt to trim this one down to the same lense distance as the smaller cardboard, but for $18 I can't recommend this one to anyone. I hate to say bad things about it, but people should know it just isn't quite designed with the right dimensions.

Does NOT come with instructions and has NO numbered tabs. Ring button poorly designed.
No instructions at all. Looking at the online videos I put it together, but do yourself a favor, do not waste time. Also, the cut out for the ring button seems poorly designed, did not work the way it was supposed to. (There are solutions to the problem online, but again, time wasted.)
