Figment VR iPhone case doubles as a virtual reality viewer

fgmnt2The Figment VR case packs two VR app-ready lenses into a sleek case designed to protect your iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. A simple sliding mechanism extends the lens component from the back of the iPhone case, and when you're done the lens fold back, seamlessly blending in with the rest of the case's outer surface.

And while we haven't had a chance to test the device out, considering the less than stellar experience delivered by Cardboard, it seems unlikely that the Figment will be the best VR viewer around. In fact, the Figment's lack of side and top eye coverings (which are present on Cardboard) could impact the immersive dynamic VR is designed to offer in the first place.

The Figment VR, which comes in white and black, is launching on Kickstarter for $49 and $59 (Plus versions) and will sell for $69 and $79 when it hits retail.
