I use a web wallet as my main wallet. because web wallet can be accessed from anywhere. on any device, as long as it is connected to the Internet. it makes things easier and faster.
I use an online wallet and the local exchange. because it is more flexible than using desktop wallet makes it very difficult although it will be safe. for the security of online wallet you can add 2FA I use online wallet too and it looks okey till today. I set 2FA too so no one will be able to hack it unless they can access my device.

I have not used a wallet on my phone. maybe it will be very flexible because you're carrying a cell phone or wallet anywhere, but what about security wallet in the phone itself?

Every type of wallet have its advantages. I use hardware wallet to stash bitcoins that I keep for long term investment. Recently I had some chinese virus on my laptop, after that I dont feel comfortable keeping big amount on it. Luckily it was before I started with bitcoin.

I am just using web wallet and for 2 years of using it I don't have any problem except for the bank related matters that my bitcoins can not be withdrawn, but still I am not referring to just use web wallet only, I really want to use other bitcoin wallet storage maybe in the future but for now I am sticking to the things that I know so my vote goes to web storage.
That is certainly what most people are doing. But sometimes I wonder how secure are online wallets, such as blockchain.info, since many experienced users recommend using other types of wallets, especially hardware wallets. Probably the safest thing to do would be to save the coins on multiple devices. And I am guessing that there are many users of web storage you can say that the security of a storage is on the majority of users using them, but I am not truly 100% trusting it I am only giving about 80% of trust on web storage bacause of there are no 100% safe system, but I am giving a big percentage on web storage because I am using it and I have tried it's services and I think that they are taking it's maintenance seriously.

I also use a number of wallets in my mobile phone.Actually I would like to choose those wallet which have supported of both devices,here i like to recall specially blockchain,xapo others coinbase,mycelium.Of course, it is very important to use secure wallet.Blockchain and Xapo are pretty good as they provide a security before accessing the main body.

I actually use a mix of various wallet because I think it is too risky to keep all your bitcoins in a single place. If someone gets hold of your single account, all your money will be gone.
I have a hardware wallet, one Blockchain and one coinbase account. I maintain small balances in the online wallets for my transnational needs and also use coinbase, if I need to send money to anyone because coinbase doesn't charge network fees.

For storing my bitcoin I use my desktop wallet while for active purchases and for active transactions I often use my online web wallet especially those which have android app while for trading I use the wallets from exchanges because I often cannot give time to deposit my bitcoin to exchange for to start the trade.

I know most people hate them but I use an online wallet in which I love, it's BitGo and I sometimes use Blockchain.info, and Coinbase at the moment.
Most people don't like online wallets and I know that but BitGo is one of the most secure ones on the market with the ability to get your coins back if BitGo was to go under so I'm pretty happy with it and would recommend it to anyone.

I used web wallet and desktop wallet, i transfer my bitcoin in web wallet to desktop when my bitcoin in web wallet every reaching 0.003. Thats why i used 2 wallet. Some people tell me that web wallet is not safe, but i think desktop wallet is not 100% safe too, because so many virus and malware attacker in this world. Maybe l'll make my 3rd wallet in external hard drive, later

Use two wallets. Hot and cold. Hot wallet can be online/mobile, only keeping enough bitcoin in it that could be deemed "spending cash". You keep the rest in a cold wallet, deemed your "savings account". It's the best solution I've seen thus far.
It makes sense and your cold wallet could be a physical BTC as well as a paper wallet or HW wallet, the type you are comfortable with. Also, I think alot of people, who otherway consider security, use web wallet only because they do not have more money in BTC than what they can afford to risk in a web wallet for being comfortable.

Maybe l'll make my 3rd wallet in external hard drive, later Moving coins everytime when you reach 0.003 can cost you a lot of money on fees (a lot comparing to the amount you are sending). I would suggest to do it less often and wait for a higher treshold, for example 0.05 btc and send it at once. Nobody cares about hacking your wallet when you have only 3 bucks here and I don't think it will change when there is 50 bucks either. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Electrum seems ideal to me because you don't have to worry about your Bitcoins even if your computer crashes or your Harddrive malfunctions. There are other good centralized ones like coinbase and xapo but I prefer electrum due to what happened to bitfinex.

It's shocking to see how few users use hardware wallets.
