Samsung Gear VR headset - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has good reviews on Amazon and I'm curious about this whole VR trend I'm seeing. Do any of you guys have it? Any recommendations? Does the Note 5 fit properly? Can I get it for cheaper than $100?

Using Gear VR with a case?

All I have is an s-view case and that would just look silly with the VR so my phone is naked at the moment :S
Are there any protective cases out there that do not have to be taken off when using the Gear VR? or do all cases work fine?
I am mostly curious because I have been wanting to buy the zerolemon extended battery, but that would bulk up my phone if I recall correctly. Is there anyone using a VR with this?
Edit:
Eh, probably can't use it with a case on lol just ignore this~ or delete if possible :S

The phone in it's original state is perfectly fitted in the VR, so adding a case will add bulk. Therefore, it won't sit in properly,unless you only change the back cover.
Shouldn't Note 4 be a pack with Gear VR?

Got a Gear VR S6 already? Get free VR Covers for it.

From all the pictures we found so far the Gear VR foam part should be identical with the Gear VR S6 foam part so our Gear VR Cover should work well but we want to be sure about this.
We send you a free set of Gear VR Covers if you can email us a couple of photos of a measurement tape next to the face foam of your Gear VR S6 that shows the horizontal and vertical dimensions of it.
This would be a great help and we send out free VR Covers to the first three people who email us at team [at] vrcover.com.
Thanks everyone! They do fit, so if you have a Gear VR S6 you can get our VR Covers.

Note 8 - Whitestone dome and Gear VR (2017)

Hey everyone.
I've recently been considering getting a Whitestone dome as my screens usually end up getting scratched. I also tend to drop my phone at least once a week (nothing so far thankfully but I know it's a matter of when not if).
My in concern is that a couple of users reported problems with lift using the S8 Whitestone with the gear VR. Has anyone got any expirence using the note 8 protector with the new gear VR headset? I do enjoy the odd VR session but Im concerned if the protector would hold in the headset and being removed in and out of the case often.
Any our insight you could offer would be much appreciated.
From my experience, the Whitestone does lift/bubble in the plug area between the phone and VR. I found using the film-like screen protector fits better while plugged into the VR. However I still feel the Whitestone is the best tempered glass SP for the Note 8 to date.
Thank you very much for your response. Could I ask if the problems you expirenced were for the note 8 with the gear VR 2017?
Yes I do believe based on user reviews the Whitestone is the best choice out there right now for the N8. Did you yourself switch to film for VR, or just bear with the Whitestone lift? Having a hard time finding a good film availible in the UK which isn't rated 2.5 stars :/
The best possible thing to do, is to somehow get an additional USB-C plug, and file it on both sides, to accommodate the extra girth of the screen and perhaps a slim case.

I bought the whitestone dome for the note 8 as its currently the best screen protector you can get for the money- period, i tried loads of others but no dice.
I thought id have to sacrifice the use of the gear vr..anyway over xmas i saw one going for £50...and thought id risk it....if you file ( used a dremel) to totally file down the part of the connector that rests on the screen protector...it works beautifully.
That bit is removable and its a five minute job. Its definetly worth doing...wish i did it earlier.

Nope
The Daydream View looks like it'll work. Is it worth it?
