Which is the best Bitcoin hardware wallet?
The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

Case hardware wallet and they consider their wallet as The world's most secure and easy-to-use bitcoin wallet
It use biometrics and It's a multi-signature wallet (I like the design compared to other hardware wallets as well) : https://choosecase.com/

If you only need to store bitcoin Trezor has the most options for users. Ledger Nano S is in second place because you cannot yet use it with a phone or protect accounts with passphrases. If you need to store Ether and Ether Classic in addition to bitcoin Ledger Nano S is your only choice at the moment.

That looks really cool. I had never seen it. I've only seen KeepKey, Trezor, and Ledger. But this is a standalone wallet. When was this released?

Case started shipping last October. Still costs $199, I bought one to try out but never use it. One more thing to carry. Breadwallet works just fine on my phone and also has fingerprint authentication.

I do need a secure wallet, I was thinking cold storage but it's a long process to use them. Case seems like a really good option. I just feel like it may be outdated with a newer hardware wallet soon.

Electrum works very well with Trezor see https://doc.satoshilabs.com/trezor-apps/electrum.html remember you have to set up Trezor first at mytrezor.com then follow the directions to use Electrum with Trezor.

Case is a multisignature wallet. You can buy a Trezor right now at a discount and use it with Mycelium on your phone if you like. You will always have sole possession of your private keys stored safely away in the Trezor.

Those wallets are not hardware wallets. Those are desktop wallets. Please read the thread and understand what it is about before posting.

Costs too much. If you have an Android phone running Marshmallow Breadwallet uses your fingerprint to authorize, just like Case, and uses hardware level encryption. If you have an iPhone or newer Android Breadwallet is a good choice. I would have no problem keeping 10 bitcoin or more in Breadwallet. Trezor has a sale on now so you can pick one up for $79 using the code bitfinex, and it works great with Mycelium on Android.

I have three recommendations.

If you don't have a high budget buy a Ledger Nano/Ledger HW.1 (HW.1 is exactly the same but may not be of as high build standard as the former)


But if you have more funds, buy a Trezor or a Ledger Nano S (I prefer the Trezor as it isn't HD)

Or you can wait for the Trezor 2 Cheesy

Exactly my thinking. I'm holding some funds just for the momentous occasion. Maybe the first Trezor will drop in price, as it only costs $19, but you have to add $100 for development and research

Trezor itself is not a wallet but it does support BIP32 and HD wallets. It holds your bitcoin private keys securely offline and signs transactions.
