When you think virtual reality glasses, you think of something that's incredibly cool but also bulky and difficult to carry around, and this is where the Homidi Minis stand out from the crowd.

These smart glasses are designed with a plastic frame and [lenses that fold down](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/editions-pliables) for easy transportation. As an added bonus, you can clip these virtual reality glasses down the center of your phone, making it possible for you to enjoy many of your favorite apps, games and other features in virtual reality. When compared to some of the other virtual reality headsets designed for use with smartphone apps, the Homido Minis are incredibly compact.

At $16.45, these virtual reality glasses are eminently affordable and designed for people who want to augment their smartphone experience.
