A Portuguese company is selling “VR glasses” called SmartTalk Glasses right now and they seem sturdier then the cardboard model that Google offers.
However, I can´t see any access to the selection type that the Google Cardboard magnet’s allow.
The price is 64.99 €.

There is a review in Portuguese here.
Other models start to appear. This one has a Smart Bluetooth Wireless Mouse, that surpasses the inexistence of embedded button control.
Yes, they look fine and affordable.
