Which Cardboard-like VR headset should you buy?
There's three things you should consider before buying a Cardboard-like viewer: price, materials, and the size of your phone.
Price: The cheapest headsets, which cost the same as Google Cardboard, are the Goggle Tech C1-Glass, V2, UC 2.0, and Homido Mini, while the most expensive headsets are the VR One Gx and SmartVR. There are of course a handful in the middle-price range, including the View-Master, Knox V2, Powis Viewr, P2, Pop 2.0, and Dscvr. We'd recommend sticking to the low-to-mid range if this is your first go-around with VR.
Materials: The Knox V2, Powis Viewr, P2, and Pop! 2.0 are all made from cardboard, so if you're looking to get a near-exact experience to Cardboard, these viewers are your best bet. If you want to go a step up and take the plastic route, consider the View-Master VR and Dscvr. The View-Master VR is a modern take on the classic toy that Mattel made for years, so this option might be especially ideal for kids.
Phone size: Choose a viewer that fits your phone's screen size. Most Cardboard apps work with Android 4.1+ and the latest iOS smartphones. From what we can see, Dscvr works with phones ranging from 4 to 7 inches, while Mattel's offering only works with phones from 5 to 5.99 inches however, so be sure to check each viewer's website for more details and specifications.
