Samsung Gear VR Buttons Don't work - SOLVED

I searched the forum and couldn't find anyone else with the same problem I was having. Bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Gear VR two days ago. I was so excited to see what the latest virtual reality was like. Then reality hit and I was so disappointed. The buttons on the Gear VR did not seem to work. I called my sons to see if they could figure out what was wrong. They figured out that if we started one of the apps (Roller Coasters) and quickly inserted the phone we could ride the roller coasters. This was neat, but very disappointing. I decided to take it back to the Sprint store. 

They said that was not the way it was supposed to work. They tried my Gear VR on one of their phones and it worked fine. Huh! Eventually, they figured out it was screen protector that they had sold me with the phone. They pulled the screen saver off and the Gear VR started working like it was meant to. Now I'm excited with both the phone and the Gear VR, which is near breathless. Awesome!
