I dont like hardware wallets. I like the debit card with the display and keypad though. Dont know if its just a prototype or a real thing. Would pay 30usd max for a thing like that.

For now I think there is no need for me to get hardware wallet at all. I always imagine hardware wallet is good option for people who have a lot of coins, something like mobile safe for your coins.
I think it is useless to get hardware wallet to store 1 or 2 btc on it. You would be honestly better with wallet on your mobile device.

I'm surprised we were only 4 (as of now) to say we don't want one. I believe it's a great asset for BTC to be totally virtual. I would have the feeling I would spoil BTC if I were using a hardware wallet.

I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

I've heard about that one too. There is also this one, however it is flagged by BitDefender for some reason. I think that you might be talking about Xapo?
I'm not sure how much that costs. According to this post it is a one time fee of $15 which is great.

I think that $50 would be reasonable since a lot of people do have wallets that are a bit pricey. I'm talking about the everyday wallet. I actually paid mine about 60 British pounds.

I'm pretty sure that the main reason for buying a hardware wallet would be safety. The right one is considerably safer than keeping Bitcoins on your computer only.

Nope, I prefer a BIP38 paper wallet, print a couple copies, wrap them around plastic so the paper doesn't deteriorate and you are set. I trust that more than anything that requires electricity for long term holding purposes.

I am ready to pay $25 for a hardware wallet, if it offers me 100% protection from file corruption, coin stealing and wallet hacks. I don't have that many coins right now (sold almost 3/4th of my coins in 2014 and 2015), so I can't pay any more than this amount. May be I'll increase my offer later, if the exchange rates increase significantly.

i personally find them highly expensive for me to consider buying. for example, trezor that i hear the most is $100, which i find expensive.
i keep my coins in cold storage and so far haven't felt the need for a hardware wallet.
