Each Carbonfree Certified product goes through a cradle-to-grave assessment to determine the product’s carbon footprint. The carbon emissions associated with the product are reduced where possible, and remaining carbon emissions are offset with third-party verified carbon reduction projects in renewable energy, energy efficiency and forestry.
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Actually decided to get three of these. They haven't disappointed me every time. I must let customers know that if you're using this to make your own Google Cardboard, you might have to make some adjustments if you're following the assembly instructions from Google, and I'm mostly talking about the adjustment on the lenses since they're a tad bit different from the ones Google expects you to have, so all you need to do if you're making the Google Cardboard is change the distance between the lenses (mine is at least 2.5 inches away from both center points of the lenses), and increase the diameter when you make the hole for the lenses, otherwise, I looked deeper into this company, and figured out that it's used for a 3D printed design they have on their website. I have five 3D printers at my school, so I decide to get another kit and 3D print their design for this, and it also works very well! I was surprised on how much customization you can put on this design the company has made, such as adjusting the strap AND the lenses, since of course everyone has a different head and vision. Otherwise, this is a great kit for both subjects.
The lenses are what I expected but the elastic band is for someone with the head the size of a small dog. It wouldn't even come close to fitting and I don't have that large of a head.
The two lenses arrived individually wrapped in soft protective wrappers. They shipped the items in two days from their location which is a reasonable amount of time. I do however wish they offered a fed-ex or express options as it arrived via USPS in about 4 days, which is again reasonable but I've become spoiled by Amazon Prime and anything more than two days feels like an eternity.
As for the lenses themselves they are bi-convex, which means they have curved lenses front and back. They match up great with the DIY Google Cardboard that I made. I can't speak to any other application of these lenses but for my needs they work great.

They came packed exactly as shown in the picture. A plastic bag with both lenses and the elastic strap. As a result they are both slightly scratched and scuffed. They still work great for Google cardboard, but I would not want to use this for a more expensive VR solution like the Dive. Shipping estimate was over a month, but only took a little over a week to receive them.
I bought these for Google cardboard and they work fine only thing is that I got used to prime and the shipping takes way longer than two days also mine came with a small nick on the side of the lenses but it did not affect quality at all. If you wear glasses you should cut out the slits so you can wear your glasses with cardboard or else it will be blurry
If you're looking at these, I'm sure you already know what they're for. High quality lenses compared to the ones that come in most of the pre-built kits. The included strap is a nice bonus.
