I am thinking of buying one of hardwallets:
- trezor or;
- ledger nano s.

I like ledger more due its cool design, but my concern is about its durability. Trezor looks more durable.
I would appreciate any of your comments and past experience.
If you own any of these wallets, please write what time do you own it and what is your experience with it.

Hands down the Ledger Nano S. More affordable, better transportability and all in all - in my opinion at least - better usability. But just look at some reviews on YouTube and get familiar with the interface, the software they offer and more.

Also Ledger Nano S for me, but so far as I know is the shipping scheduled on 5 March if you buy at the official website.

I haven't use trezor... What can I say about Ledger. I suppose you want to know it's drawbacks. As for me it has a few memory. I'd like to have more different wallets installed on my ledger. But if you look for device for storing not so big amount of different coins it would fit perfectly.

Ledger nano s for sure much more affordable, you can store multiple coins on same device, and support forks of btc. One issue I got with ledger nano s is that the code is not open source so there might unknown exploits, or shady stuff going on by the manufacturer and we will never know.

I prefer choosing nano s ledger, with ledger nano, our bitcoin will be safer from hacker crime, and can also be taken wherever we go.

the price is quite expensive, 68-70 USD. but proportional to its safety

Thank you all guys for your experience. I went through all your replies. Ledger nano seams to be the most usable by those who left coments in this thread.
I think I will choose ledger nano S. The only thing is that I will have to wait 5th of march ((

Good choice madude, i own a Ledger nano S. It's easy tu use, secured and you got a real good customer service if something goes wrong.

I asked the same question a month ago. After reading a number of comments, I have decided to buy Trezor.
And now I am a pleased owner:)
First of all, it seems really secure. You have to create 6-numbers password and write them manually for all transactions. Also you get 24 seed words. What is more, you get 6 different addresses for your currency:
One of them for BTC, second - BCH,...6th for ETH and all Erc-20 tokens. As for me it is safe.

But it is worth the wait. And that's only a 2 week wait so that should be fine. Please make sure to buy it directly from Ledger. There have been scams lately with fake instructions from third party sellers. So be wary!

I am using ladger nano s, and I am very happy with it. I have never used trezor, but I don't think I will any time soon. Ladger nano S is secure and affordable. What more can you ask for?

I just wanted to hear some information about these two wallets in order to make the right decision. But Ledger nano s is currently the leader among replies, so I will buy Ledger.

true advice , always buy any hardware wallet direct from source / original website .
even if anyone give you it for free then dont store your holdings in it .
many scams exposed in past where people bought it from trusted online e-com sites .

I can't talk about ledger but I have a Trezor and I am very happy about it. I know it is a little bit more expensive, but I am very happy with my choice.

Trezor is having new model named Model T. If you can I would wait for that one. For sure not buy old trezor. Ledger Nano S is cheaper and at this point suport way more coins. So if you are hurry I think that should be your choice.

I have the Ledger Nano S and am overall happy with it, after the quick learning curve, it is fairly easy to use. You can connect it to MEW to hold all of your ERC20 tokens.

My only small issue with it is the amount of visible wallets that it can display. It only holds like 5 of them and while you can delete them and install new ones, this is a little inconvenient.

You just need to remember that you have coin X on your Ledger as that wallet will not be displayed. In order to view the wallet, you need to delete one wallet and load X back on there.

I prefer the Ledger Nano S over the Trezor because it supports more cryptocurrencies.  The only thing is, it is sold out from the manufacturer and the wait time is until mid March for delivery.  Avoid buying the Ledger from third party sellers such as those on Ebay or Amazon. 

The question is do you want to have a compact device in your pocket?if yes ledgener would be the choice,trezor is bulky and it can give much more attention from the peolple whom you dont want to mess with,ledgner nano is a lot cheaper than trezor so it is also depends on your budget these two are the most commonly used hardwallets,trezor for me is better because it has been here for years unlike the ledger.

nano S has more support!

I personally prefer Ledger wallets to use, they are easy to use, safe and secure. A nice way to access decentralised exchanges and also a nice way to access MEW feeling safe and secure. I bought one instantly as soon as i started to receive a lot of ETH and ALTS from ICO's and do not regret it one bit.

Ledger has a great back up feature too so always feel secure in using it!

Ledger’s frame is actually made of stainless steel, so it’s pretty durable and damage-resistant. And Ledger supports more than 20 cryptocurrencies. So I’d prefer it to Trezor.

I have both ledger and trezor and for me ledger is the better out of the two. Its sleek and can store more alts than trezor does. But as of now ledger nano s is not available on the official ledger website and will only begin shipping next month so if you are in a hurry go for trezor.

I use the Ledger Nano. i don't really use it on a daily basis but whenever i do it's super cool and easy.

there are lot's of Apps for various coins altough some big one dont have apps yet such as ADA. but most of the coins are there.

for the record i don't own a Trezor so i dont know it's advantages.

I have both of them but I prefer the nano ledger because it is more easier and support more altcoins then the Trezor. I can store ARK on my ledger which is very good

Although I am not using any hardware wallet.
But from hearing and reading article I know about those wallet. Two are same.
Something differences of price.
You can read this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2552485.0
It will help you.

None of them. They will be replaced by more convenient wallets for smartphones. and I do not see the meaning in them

If you are just buying bitcoin then buy a trezor.
I you are buying alts then the Nano supports more coins.
I personally own one of each

I've personally never used a trezor, but I own a Ledger Nano S & highly recommend it. It's well made & durable so you have nothing to worry about there.

I also use both types of wallets and I feel quite satisfied with the quality of it. Trezos wallet is beautiful design, easy to use interface, quite convenient and compact. Ledger Nano S is also quite compact, save the crypto coin purse Trezos, the price is quite good. Both types of wallets are very secure and secure in storing your crypto coins. You can be assured of the quality of these 2 wallets.

Those two are worth it to buy and use as your personal wallet.
I own ledger nano s, and I could say that it is secure than what I have used before which is online wallet.

personally i have the nano ledger and it works amazing. i really recommend it.

on the other hand i don't have trezor  so i dont know the up's and down's for it.

Remember a lot of people were getting hacked from their own ledger wallet due to the vulnerability of the wallet itself. I remember there are some news that has posted about that.
Honestly, i owned trezor and i can say the security layer looks better than ledger nano.
I've not got any problem with it until this time.

Already you said both are hardware wallet. So it is offline wallet it is not hackable in anyway. But ledger nano is more peoples are using in crypto platform. This is the only difference all the hardware wallet are supports more coins but we don't know the all altcoins Because number of altcoins are available in the market. So both are best wallet know you only decide which one is comfortable to use.

I just got my Ledger Nano and have used it. Works perfectly. I will just be using it for long term storage meaning token that I plan to long hodl.

I also intend to buy a hardware wallet and have read this post. I have a question: If the hardware wallet is damaged and I have no other wallet to recover, can the secret words recover all the coins on the support sites?

I am happy with my ledger nano s. Its working on forkdelta and etherdelta so i am able to trade my tokens inside my ledger.
I heard that trezor does not have support for tokens but i am not sure. I suggest you to buy a ledger nano s

in my opinion ledger nano s is better than trezor wallet. The ledger nano can store more coins. on the other hand the price is cheaper.

I'm currently using ledger nano because of the good feedback it has. Also many of my friends using this ledger for long now. Easy to use with, secured and safe wallet to have. If you are in doubt in which is really good you can have or search other feedback.

of course nano ledger

After checking different reviews I've decided to order Ledger. Waiting for it to come and meanwhile accumulating more BTC :)

When choosing a purse, the most important is its security. And from this point of view, the obvious leader is Ledger.

Vulnerability Comparison:
Trezor

• MIM - no
• USB DSU - yes
• PIN  - yes
• Supply Chain  - yes

 Ledger

• MIM - no
• USB DSU - no
• PIN  - no
• Supply Chain  - no

After some research, I bought the Ledger Nano S. It was pretty close, but I just preferred the fact that the Nano S looks like a USB stick.

There was some issue of the Ledger Nano S wallets being hacked (you can read it on loads of different websites), but since, they have released a firmware update (1.4.1).

The difference between Trezor and Ledger is that you can also store Komodo on Ledger. Otherwise, I do not see any difference. In addition, Ledger temporarily orders are not accepted - they are not on sale.

I own a Ledger Nano S and I'm very happy with it. I don't really understand the durability problem, what should you do with it, throwing it under a bus? I bought a simple case and I keep in there.

Judging by the feedback from the owners, I'm more inclined to the device Trezor. I think its functionality will be enough for me.

2 years ago I bought a Ledger. I do not regret this purchase.
Frankly speaking, I do not see a fundamental difference in these models.
The most important advantage in hardware wallets is their reliability.

Both hardware wallets are good, but I would have traditionally prefer online wallet Coinbase. Hardware wallets are not convenient at all. That's clear thing. At last period of time these wallets have proved themselves very well.

I prefer Ledger Nano, the material is something like steel while trezor is plastic. So it seems like Ledger Nano is more durable. I think most importantly, the hardware wallet you choose should support more of the coins you have.

In fact, both purses are very good and quality. But for example from a phishing website they will not save. Assume if you get to the phishing site MyEtherWallet. And so I prefer Ledger Nano S!

I can not say anything about these devices, because I just can not buy such devices in my country, I think that now many people talk about it only thinking about it. Of course I think that they are much safer.

Trezor is a very convenient and functional wallet, in my opinion it's even possible to tie it to mew ...

I'm using Ledger. There were no problems. The support works fine. Constantly improve the system. I'm sure both of these devices are good enough. It's just a matter of taste.

Ive got both and to be honest theyre probably just as duarable as each other, its more about personal preference. I prefer my trezor as I like the user interface better, but they each work just as well

I certainly agree with this plus I haven't encountered any problem at all when using my ledger nano s. I ordered it online from a trusted friend and I easily received it, it is easy to configure even for a non techy like me.

I myself own a Ledger Nano S and get along with it very well. I can only recommend.
I have not gotten a trezor, but I'll get one too.

In my opinion, this is only a matter of taste. They perform the same functions. Ergonomics is also the same. Which is easier to buy, that's better. The main thing that he would be. And do not delay with the purchase.

But the Ledger Nano S is more cheap then trezor which is one thing we need to consider,I think Ledger Nano S is most used hardware wallet than trezor but both of them were much secured to store our crypto currencies.My choice is Ledger Nano S because of its design.
