I have 4 Daydream headsets because I develop for VR. (I actually have multiple Daydream capable phones. 1x Axon 7, 1x Zenfone AR, 1x Pixel 1, 1x Pixel 3, 3x Moto Z2 Forces and 1x Galaxy S9). I also have a number of Cardboard headsets I can use (but I like just the Daydream View without the controller). Plus I have 2 Gear VR setups (for S9 and S6)
Unfortunately the issue with Daydream isn't Google, it's their hardware partners. Few seem to be submitting devices for Daydream certification. Few seem to care about smartphone based VR anymore.
However that's not the end of the world because Cardboard is still supported. So all of these devices can do mobile VR, just without a motion controller. So my game will likely support a standard controller in addition to the daydream controller and fallback method for "flat" gaming mode for VR gamers.
I'm sure Google will continue to support VRCore and Daydream devices for a while. Though I don't expect a lot of new features added. But there's not a lot more than be done for 3DoF VR, it's a mature platform now.
---
Personally I'm hoping they just merge WorldSense support into the Pixel 4 (leveraging the rumors dual camera) and release a new Daydream for roomscale. But Google's been burn ed by enough partners it just might not be worth it.
I have the Virtoba X5 headset, which is basically a clone of the Bobo, and I agree with almost everything in this review. It's amazingly good quality for just $30. I own a Vive, and can honestly say the visual quality is better on the Virtoba (with a Pixel XL) due to not having god rays and significantly less chromatic aberration near the edges (I'm talking optics here, not graphics, obviously). It really makes me wonder why they went with fresnel lenses on the Vive and the Rift. The Vive does give a better sense of depth than the Virtoba though; perhaps that's a key advantage provided by the fresnel lenses. Anyone know? People who have used both the Vive and PSVR (which also doesn't use fresnel lenses) have made similar comments.
One more thing - I'm skeptical that the field of view is 120 degrees. It's probably just slightly better than the Vive (with its original foam), which is 100 degrees horizontal.
This is nothing new in the high-performance mobile VR world, and it's a result of the sustained performance mode that Daydream enters in order to maintain a high-quality experience. The S6 has the same problem on the Gear VR platform. Samsung integrated a heat pipe cooling solution into the S7 to combat the issue, but some people still have overheating issues even on that phone. There are even third-party cooling solutions designed to help, like this. Other people solve the problem by having a small desk fan blowing at their face to improve heat dissipation (unfortunately not possible to the same degree with the Daydream View given its design).
You should understand though that thermal protection mechanisms are designed to prevent dangerously high temperatures, so it's unlikely that there is any danger (beyond your own irritation).
I guess we can hope that there are some software tweaks that Google can make to try to manage the problem better. In the meantime you can try all the things that the Gear VR folks have been doing for years: enable Airplane/flight mode and then turn wireless and bluetooth back on. Enable the "Limit background processes" option in developer options (Daydream probably does something like this automatically anyway, but it can't hurt to try). Turn the screen brightness down. All that sort of stuff.
Yeah, it really is a shame. I was excited about the View hearing all the positivist after the reveal. It looked really nice too. I was super let down when I finally got mine. At least I got the controller out of the deal so I don't consider it a total waste.
Not sure which cardboard you have but this one gets a lot of praise if you feel you need to find something better. I have one but haven't used it much myself since I mostly use the Gear VR.
What phone do you have now? There are headsets for mobile that aren't associated with daydream. If you happen to have a recent-ish Samsung phone, you might try /r/gearvr for example. Reviews I've read have generally not claimed that daydream view is overwhelmingly better, and gearvr's software ecosystem has had a lot more time to grow. If you already have a compatible phone, gearvr is much better than google cardboard, and for $50 to $100 for the headset it's pretty much a definite buy. If you don't have a compatible phone, you can probably pick up a galaxy 6 for $350 or so. Though be aware that they do have overheating problems.
If you don't have a gearvr compatible phone, or don't want to buy one, you might consider one of the nicer plastic google "cardboard" headsets. No specific endorsement, I don't own one, but google turns up this for $16. Or, quick perusal of /r/daydream and I see people gushing about this headset for $36.
Even if the quality of the experience isn't as good as with daydream, if you're getting something that's only half as good for under $40 that works with your current phone, instead of the $800+ you'd pay for for a Pixel phone plus daydream headset, that's probably not a bad deal.
being wireless, you'd be better off leaving it in a case.

If you really want a stand, make sure the lenses are facing the wall and not a window. People have had fires start because of the sun shining through the lenses when it wasn't in use.
This one. At the time it had the best reviews.
It sounds super weird, but for some specific head shapes these work very well affixed to the rear of the device, as close to the center as possible.

it has video files on it (music videos for they gym, movies for travel etc), had it a year and it's been great.
Just had a look, it's not actually that bad a fit as is.... Hmmm might update you some point!
update
I'm going to get this to sit between the pixel and heatsink as the pixel back isn't completely flat:

Did you get this model? I don't think that will work with Cardboard Camera. It works with regular monoscopic 360 panoramas since those just require you to rotate the phone in-place. However, the VR Cardboard Camera panoramas use parallax to generate the depth for stereoscopic panoramas.
You can try this out by holding the phone near your body and and arm's length while taking a panorama with Cardboard Camera. When the phone is moving in a large circle, the resulting image will look better than when the phone is moved in a small circle. Automated rotating stands will move the camera lens in a very small circle so the depth will be very mild
I got these little moldable ice packs, and while the fit is a little snug (Pixel XL, 2017 DD), it works perfectly for keeping the phone cool. I just wrap it in a paper towel to fight off condensation.
With a 5 pack, your battery will die before you ever have an issue with heat.
It was kinda a joke but they do exist :P don't know about the combination of such a thing with the Daydream headset, but have a look at this fan or heat pad
Get something like this.
I've used these both frozen and room temperature. When frozen, I wrap a single paper towel around it in case of condensation. When they're at room temperature, they don't work as well, but still provide a sort of heat sink that wicks away heat from the phone instead of it being insulated.
Also use wipes for my glasses and electronics. These ones
