Hi, it is wonderful experience with this VR glasses; PD and FD both are adjustable, so you can get absolutely clear picture; Whatever Android or ios cellphone, it was your best choose!

Works but has some issues. Still can be usefull with some modifications.
It worked well with my S5, but there are some issues.Cons:1. The biggest problem is the middle divider doesn't fully cover the display top and bottom, there are crossover leaks, and it's really skinny, so you have to get the phone perfectly in there to make it look good. Any apps with a grey divider will be seen. I had to use tape to make the middle wider and taller.2. The rubber eye cup is stiff and hurts after a while, and leaves lines on your face.3. Trying to push the bottom and top to fit the phone makes the volume change.4. No magnet or nfc, not really a problem though.5. Not up to cardboard specs.Pros:1. Will conform to most phones not bigger than 5".2. Good solid construction for the money. This will probably last a while. Unlike a cardboard one.3. Head straps work well. Though google says not to use them.4. Everything is adjustable to fit pretty much anyone's needs.5. Good lenses.If the middle divider were full screen and thicker and this came with a magnet and the eye padding was softer, this would be perfect and I would be completely satisfied. Once I fixed those problems this thing worked well.

The three star is for the actual product and not Google Cardboard by itself
I found a description of Gogle Cardboard online and immediately wanted to try it out. Looked around at lots of product reviews on Amazon and finally decided on this one since it is made of plastic and expected to be more durable.Google Cardboard is an AMAZING concept that lets you try virtual reality for a fairly low cost. It feels like the future. Definitely worth a try!! I am an iPhone 6 user and found over ten apps in the App Store that were free and have a good demonstration of what the thingn can do.As for the product itself, like I said I had ordered it after looking at multiple product reviews and got it because it was made of plastic and had head straps which most others don't. After receiving it, while not let's you nicely explore the possibilities of Google cardboard, I feel like it doesn't do full justice to it as there is no NFC or magnets. Some of the apps require magnets.Pros:- made of plastic. More durable than cardboard- head straps- expandable in all directions to accommodate more phone sizes- works with iPhone 6Cons:- no magnets. Some apps require a magnet to work.- sometimes the iPhone slides out. Can be fixed by tightly adjusting the angles.- the sound turns off as the sound button hits a piece of the device when inserting in. Fix is to place the iPhone upside down. This doesn't work with some apps that do not have the screen rotation function in them.- cannot be used with iPhone cover onOverall, I loved my experience with virtual reality so far. Now I am looking for a cardboard that has magnets (or possibly try getting magnets and stick them to this? Will have to look around)

Now I can dial in a perfect focus. There are plenty of nice VR demonstration ...
I'm using my unit on a Samsung Galaxy 5, a phone that's about as large as the unit can manage. At first I was confused because I couldn't set the focus properly -- it seemed as though the lenses were too close to the phone to allow adequate focusing range. Then I realized the unit had been assembled incorrectly -- the adjustable eyepiece holders were installed facing the phone rather than the user (they fit either way). So, rather than return my unit, I disassembled it (four tiny screws) and reversed the eyepiece holders -- this has the effect of moving the eyepieces farther away from the phone's display. Now I can dial in a perfect focus.There are plenty of nice VR demonstration at Google Play and elsewhere that are compatible with this viewer. For people who just want to view a pretty countryside and not shoot anything, I can recommend "Tuscany Dive", a nice demonstration that doesn't require any special viewer features.This is a nice introduction to side-by-side (SBS) viewer technology, reasonably priced, and fits most phones. I only gave four stars because of the factory assembly error -- otherwise it would merit five stars.

A sufficient first 3D VR set, but not durable or flexible
If you're looking for a first foray into Google cardboard, this one will be sufficient for most people. The plastic is weak but I would think it would be more durable than actual cardboard. There is no magnet so keep that in mind when determining your use for this device. This will not work with 5.5+ devices. I've tried. A 4.7 fits in decently, but I've found a 5 to 5.2 device to be the sweet spot. I tried a Note 2 and it absolutely did not fit. My Sony Xperia Z3c fit but the screen size was not very adequate as it did not fill all the space. My Moto X 2014 seemed to be the one that worked best from my experience.The build quality is pretty bad. The lens was out of the socket by the time mine arrived. The other one came off within a couple of weeks. It isn't difficult to put back in but I was hoping it would be a bit more sturdy than it was.

This is my favorite Cardboard. Yes it's actually plastic
This is my favorite Cardboard. Yes it's actually plastic. That's besides the point. I ordered one of these from another company made out of actual Cardboard and it wouldn't stay glued together. The sticky parts would come undone. There's no such problem with this.I used a huge Sony Z1 with this and it worked great. If you have a smaller phone (likely the case) this is guaranteed to fit it. The lenses are of high quality as well.The only part that doesn't work well, at least for the heavy Sony Z1, is the head strap. Don't let this dissuade you though. I've yet to find a good head strap for Google Cardboard.

It is very comfortable, but that's really the only great thing about it. The phone sits farther away from your face than with the actual Google Cardboard, taking away the illusion quite a bit. There's also no magnet, meaning it won't work for some apps, and for others, you constantly have to take it out of the headset to do use it.A tip: many apps let you click the screen instead of using the magnet. You can do this with a Bluetooth mouse or by using a Bluetooth controller switched to mouse mode (most have mouse mode). This lets you use a lot of apps you couldn't use otherwise.
