This isn't your run of the mill cheap knock off. This is your advanced knock off. Let me start by saying that I assembled and used an official Google Cardboard two days ago. From start to finish a great experience. When I bought this one I thought, "Hey it's cardboard velcro and plastic open-sourced design. How could they mess it up." Oh the innocence, the naivety.



These jack wagons must have gotten hold of an actual Google Cardboard and thought "f that we are doing it completely differently." First off the instructional images are so crappy I needed the Rosette stone to translate them. Second, the quality is so bad that I had to break out the duck tape and super glue to hold this piece of advanced engineering together before I was even able to put it on. I haven't even mentioned that this is a one phone dog and pony cardboard show. How did they pull that off? Well sit down children and let me tell you. The advanced minds behind this monstrosity put the QR code need to register it on the only spot that the velcro strap can adhere too. Which means you get to choose to either hold it to your face the entire time or make it a one phone box.



Have I mentioned the fact that you need to cut a hole in it so that it doesn't press on your iPhones side button and put it into Emergency SOS distress mode? Oh, I haven't. That's probably because I'm to busy explaining to the 911 operator why the hell my phone called.



The comfort level is off the charts. As in didn't even make it onto the chart. I walked in with lower expectations here. It's cardboard velcro and felt. It's never going to feel like being gently kissed by an angel. But these masters of paper and plastic couldn't even meet that low bar. To get an idea of what it feels like, hold your phone 6 inches away from your head and then commence to repeatedly smack yourself in the face with it.
