hello everyone I am very new here to the Bitcoin Talk forums
I am looking to purchase a hardware wallet and would like some insight / experiences some of you have had with them so I can better decide which one to get

Currently I am holding Bitcoin and many other Alt Coins
Ideally I would like one wallet that held them all if that's possible.

I haven't used any hardware wallet till now but trezor is the one many trust. However i still trust my paper wallet to hold my bitcoins.

To hold multiple alts in same wallet, i am using jaxx wallet. Just store your recovery seed in secure place, you can use their mobile or desktop wallet for both short term and long term storage.

You can make paper wallet from myetherwallet to hold your ethereum for long term.

Trezor and Ledger Nano S are the most well reviewed and trusted hardware wallets. If you plan to carry your wallet around with you the Ledger Nano S is pretty tough. Here is a video of a Ledger Nano S being run over and still works.

I've been using Trezor since November 2016, I made a nice soft case so I can carry it everywhere (it's plastic so it's not ideal to carry it without a case of some sort) and created a bunch of wallets in it without an issue. I think it's ideal both for storing big amounts of coins (since you have the seed and you can easily get back your coins even if they steal it from you) and for spending daily. You can adjust the fees, create several addresses at the same time and even name your wallets.

I bought 2 ledger Nano S model hardware wallet, one was for me and the other for my friend. Both of us have been using it for 3 months and I can say that it's a good hardware to get one. I also wonder Trezor.

I gravitated to Trezor because it allows me to have "unlimited" hidden wallets without having to reset or use different SEED to do so.  I especially like the idea of having a decoy wallet with a few BTC on it in case I am ever forced to disclose/open a wallet.  There is NO indication any hidden wallets exist.  Plus it works flawlessly!

Trezor Hardware Wallet is best and you can take advantage of its security features by staking altcoins like creditbit which pay interest depending on duration you lock away your CRB

Buy creditbit and give the trezor a try Cheesy

Trezor is the best answer for you. With a high-class security and it will give a guarantee for you to make your amount is safe on there.
Currently I am holding Bitcoin and many other Alt Coins
Trezor already supported multiple currencies such as ETH & Ethereum assets, Dash, Zcash. It will give more advantages for you to store a lot of kind of your coin on your trezor.

You can connect your trezor with VPN to give more privilege for you.

Ideally I would like one wallet that held them all if that's possible.[/center]
Trezor is your answer.

Does this ledger or nano wallet has a mobile version? Because i really am always on the go and currently my bitcoins were saved on a exchanger site which is really not good in ny opinion.

I'm relatively new to BTC and i like the Exodus wallet a lot because it has simple buttons and functions. It will hold REP, BTC, Dash, Doge, GNT, and LTC and they are soon to add DCR. With a few clicks you can trade any of these on ShapeShift right within the wallet. There's fees for trading, but that's okay for myself because I don't have the time or patience to do it otherwise.

If you use an Android phone you can use Mycelium wallet. The Nano S connects to your phone with a short OTG cable and signs bitcoin transactions.

To me it is still the good old paper wallet + BIP0038. I can make many copies and keep them safe at a number of locations.

Trezor is definitely the best and I'm not sure if there are any truly comparable alternatives for what you're looking to do if security is a priority.

I will still choose trezor over those new hardware wallets because trezor already build a good reputation to the bitcoin users from different part of the country so it is enough for me to trust trezor over the rest of the hardware wallets and most of the big companies also is partnered or using trezor so it is safer for me.

Either a Trezor or Ledger Nano S will serve you well. If you like to carry your hardware wallet with you the Nano S will fit on a keyring and is proven tough. It takes two hands to push the buttons on a Nano S while you can use a Trezor with one hand. Personal preference I have and use both.

I have trezor and didn't know about hiddent wallets!

I don't have hardware wallets and i think hardware wallets are just same with paper wallet because you are storing your bitcoins there and either of two is safe for you to save bitcoins because they are very hard to hack by the hacker because in paper wallet it is offline so there is no chance to worry about getting hacked which is the safest wallet that i've got.
