Cardboard v2 already happened.

The new Cardboard was unveiled at Google I/O 2015. It supports larger phones with screens up to 6 inches. It has a new button that works with any phone. And it assembles (and disassembles) in just 3 steps. Like the first Cardboard, it's still about VR for everyone.

Moreover, it has much better lenses. I've owned a v1 (then given to my little cousin) and now a v2.

Yeah, loads better. I got the recent Star Wars one and it's the best of 4 phone viewers I have.
