A nifty iPhone case-turned-VR headset has passed its $75,000 Kickstarter funding goal in just one week — promising users a snap-on virtual reality solution for their Apple handset for the low price of just $55 for early backers.
And, despite the goal having been hit, there’s still time if you want to hop on this Kickstarter bandwagon!
Called Figment VR, the headset works with 360 video apps, such as Facebook’s recent Star Wars: The Force Awakens video tour. It’s compatible with both the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6s, and 6s Plus, with a design that only marginally increases the size of your iPhone — making it 2 percent taller, 3 percent wider, and 28 percent thicker.
Although I do have slight reservations about how easily breakable this might turn out to be, I definitely like the eye-catching “snap” design of the smartphone case. If you’re a VR fan it could certainly be well worth placing your order now — particularly seeing as the regular price for non-supporters is going to be $79.
