How to make your own Google Cardboard VR headset for $20 or less

After its keynote yesterday, Google gave all of its I/O attendees a makeshift virtual reality headset, dubbed Cardboard, because well, it was made out of Cardboard. On its website, Google broke down all the parts you would need if you wanted to build one on your own. It looked relatively easy, but with out the pre-perferated cardboard that Google gave out, it could be tricky. Dodocase, the company behind some of the best looking iPad and iPhone cases, decided to take advantage of the hype surrounding Cardboard and release a kit for making your own.

Dodocase is selling a toolkit for making Cardboard, with all the parts you’ll need, for just $19.95 on its website. You can cut the price down even further by applying the code “USA1” at checkout. The company said it ran the math and that if you purchased the parts individually, it would cost $45.
