Top Rated Cardboard Alternatives
Cheap, easy to set up, no special hardware required. Good variety of content available through my smart phone / youtube, etc. I thought the very simple button was novel.
All in all i thought that the cardboard was fantastic at accomplishing what it set out to do - be an affordable gateway introduction into VR for the masses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Phone could easily fly out of the google cardboard - it was also extremely uncomfortable to use for longer than 5 minutes. Had to jerry rig a solution using fabric. Resolution was also quite bad, though this is to be expected with a product that cheap, and made of cardboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost -- plain and simple. While the official Google Cardboard viewer is $15.00, there are quite a few lower cost (≈$9) viewers out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Most viewers require physically holding the cardboard to your face. There are obvious drawback here, particularly if watching long-form content. That said, you can purchase (more expensive) viewers with the option to strap your device to your head. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
