I'll leave two options of which I've used before.

-https://trezor.io/
-https://www.ledgerwallet.com/

If you're going to store large amounts of btc and you're fairly new to bitcoin, then yes. Storing offline is recommended, if you're new or not.

You can't make any transactions while you are staying offline. You'll need to be connected to the internet when you're making transactions. Hardware wallets aren't for people who are actively doing transfers, they are for people who prefer to hold their coins for a long time.

If you want to make transfers every once in a while, stick with the paper wallets.

Hello, I think I might suggest few wallets for you, however that depends what you exactly need.
Offline wallets are the most secure ones, but their have disadvantage of not being so mobile as most of online wallets are.
You can choose paper one, its means you print it on the piece of paper, or a hardware wallet: for example trezor or Ledger, as CrackedLogic already said.

There is another option, of choosing online wallets in different types for example Armory or Electrum.
I also can suggest just using blockchain for making a wallet, however Xapo is also a good wallet Smiley

Sorry for the newbie question but is when I am offline then I need to go online with my wallet to do any transaction and if i want to secure my wallet again i need to go offline again correct?
I have couple of bitcoins on xapo ( And I dont trust them that why I want to do secure offline ) So I want to secure my bitcoins and not to do any transactions, what is your best suggestion for me?

* And As I understand when I Have an offline wallet i need to go online with him to send money ( To xapo For example ) correct?
* do you recommend this wallet? - https://www.ledgerwallet.com/products/ledger-nano-s  ( If I want to max secure for my bitcoins )
thank you for your time!

Trezor wallet is actualy definitively the best hardware wallet choice.., even if it's not the cheapest one. It also offer the handeling for several altcoins: ethereum with a myetherwallet interface, dash, zcash..

If you are looking to save your bitcoin in hard ware wallet, you could choose ledger nano, trezor, keepkey or other hardware wallets. If you looking to secure bitcoin only means you could choose paper wallet or simply download any desktop wallet and keep safe your private key. thats enough and it will be secured always.

The Ledger Nano S and Trezor are both good choices for a hardware wallet. The Trezor 2 is also going to be coming out fairly soon I think but not sure exactly when that will be. You may want to think about waiting for that if you choose to go with a Trezor.

Xapo is a very bad option to store your Bitcoins for a long term because you don't have the total control of them (Xapo have your BTCBTCBTC stored, not you).

Trezor is a good option.

Main ones are definitely trezor or ledger.

I'd recommend trezor for long term because it is obviously looks a lot cooler than ledger nano, which just looks like a USB and I think it is also waterproof, pressure proof and everything else proof to some degree Wink

You can also store your wallet recovery seed i think, using cryptosteel which is amazing.

Completely offline storage, no need to worry about hacks at all.

Trezor without a doubt, solid support - honest and transparent staff - top tier technical abilities.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the world, and lose his own soul?

Most users above have recommend trezor which really is a very good wallet but the company sells only one model and imo, in not a so competitive price. From my point of view I would propose the ledger company because offers more than one products so for every pocket. Therefore, according the money you are willing to spend or the specifications you ask from a hardware wallet you can choose the model you will buy.

I own both a Ledger Nano and a Trezor and I think both products are great, I never had any problems with either of them so far.

Hardware wallets are great because they are safe and we can easily store our money or cryptocurrencies there and they have a very user friendly interface which is really good for a safe and cold storage.

If you have more than one BTC, then I would recommend either a Ledger Blue or Trezor. Ledger Blue is still in the pre-order phase, but you can get one by September 30, if you make a pre-order now.

Of course, these are two best hardware wallets. For online wallets I strongly recommend Xapo or Blockchain.info theyre the best. Cool

I have used trezor for a few weeks now and I love it so much, I have decided to move everything from electrum and paper wallets into trezor.

Their coin-splitting tool (BTC/BCC) also worked like a charm for me, although I saw a lot of users complaining about it.
