Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the Virtual Reality Viewer 2-Pack for its affordability, compatibility with various phone sizes, and overall functionality. Many customers find it to be a great value for the price, with some even calling it a "steal." The cardboard material used in its construction is also praised for its effectiveness despite its simplicity. However, some customers have concerns about its comfort, particularly the lack of a head strap and potential discomfort on the nose during use.

    So i saw the Cardboard viewer by Insignia for $5 at Best Buy around Black Friday and figured, WTF... why not? Turns out, this thing is respectable. Does exactly EVERYTHING it says it'll do with the greatest of ease. This is a really GREAT first-timer VR setup for pennies.. Especially compared to some of the potential "real VR" systems available and their cost. TO SUM IT UP, this is a perfect and inexpensive way to start out your VR viewing! Couldn't ask for more or better!

    I wanted to see what all the hype was with the "Virtual Reality Smartphone Viewers, so I ordered the Insignia (Google Cardboard Glasses) from Best Buy for $4.99 with Free Shipping. And for me, it was the right choice.

    I wanted a cheap little thing to play around with the VR on my phone and this works. I doesn't hold the phone very well so I ended up with my hand covering the phone just in case the rubber band holding it in place failed. I would never suggest moving around with it on. Still if you want to get the idea of what it's like there isn't anything wrong with getting this cheap one to play with.

    It’s certainly inexpensive and I had my doubts, but for the money this is actually a very good and cheap entry into the world of VR (I.e., something to test the waters with).

    Works just as good as viewers costing considerably more. Only drawback is the rubber band provided with the viewer doesn't hold it in place that well. But for the price you can't complain.

    Nothing quite captures the alternate reality as a cardboard virtual reality viewer that actually works! My son loved the one I gave him! It's the perfect accessory to sport in public whenever spotting somebody parading about in $175 Beats headphones!

    Now I know they are cardboard VR glasses, but all in all you get your 10 dollars worth. You can't download an app like Google or Samsung to sync with glasses. But you can look up VR videos on YouTube and watch them. Definitely gives you an idea of what VR looks like. They are fun to use and probably more appropriate for kids, but either way still a fun thing to use.

    This is a good and inexpensive way to test out VR. Do a search for "360 videos" and you'll find the VR channel. Works on all phone, my son had fun with it.

    This is an excellent way to try out VR to see if it's something you like before spending alot of $$$ on an Oculus or something of that variety.

    Classic google cardboard design, this viewer is a great introduction to the world of VR. Despite being made from cardboard it is actually very sturdy and worked better than some viewers my friends had purchased made from plastic. Was able to take pictures with the cardboard camera app and view them with no problems. Compatibility with cardboard apps was great.

    I haven’t opened the boxes because I plan on using them as a classroom prizes. I purchased them when they were a daily deal so they were extremely affordable. I don’t know that I would have purchased at their regular price. I have some similar in my classroom and the kids like to test them out. Should be a big hit this school year.

    These work pretty good for the price. The fit on my iPhone 7S was a little snug but it worked. Available VR content from YouTube could be better.

    Bought these last holiday season as a stocking stuffer for my daughter. She loved it and used it for her smartphone. It lasted like 'til school season was back then now it's just sits on a corner. Only disadvantage is that you have to hold it all the time while viewing it. Thinking about a strap to put on to make hands free. Overall the product is good.

    I bought this on sale. I paid close to $3 for it , and for that price you can’t rewlly go wrong . The closest thing to compare with is the Google Cardboard with is more expensive . Don’t expect high quality optics ir IPD adjustment. It is basically a cardboard with 2 lenses, but for the price, you can’t go wrong!
