Hardware Wallet for altcoins?

[SnowRoll]

So, in the last couple of months I have spread my portfolio to about 20 different tokens.
I am now looking for a hardware wallet to better secure them.
From what I read so far, the Ledger Nano S looks as the preferred choice, mostly for its support for multiple tokens (as opposed to Trezor's BTC only).
Seeing it's on backorder till late July, I was wondering if there are any other recommended hardware wallets?
Also, as my intention is to hodl for 5-10 years, should I consider using paper wallets, instead?
Any other security tips will be much appreciated.

At the moment, one and only Ledger Nano S. BUT its sold out and i think this will continue for some time.

Can Ledger Nano S contain any Altcoin?Can Ledger Nano S contain any Altcoin? Or is there any other Hardware Wallet in the market to contain any Altcoin? Is it technically possible?

Trezor is also working on integrating more altcoins, at this moment is supports BTC,ETH,ETC,DASH,ZEC and LTC

TREZOR Wallet, or Ledger Nano S

TREZOR Wallet is the best hardware wallet

Used to be Ledger Nano S supported more altcoins than Trezor but Trezor is catching up. They both work with MyEtherWallet for tokens. The problem is finding either in stock. Better place an order now so you receive as soon as possible. I use both and the major differences are 1) Trezor can be used with one hand while Nano S takes two to press the buttons and 2) Nano S is more rugged than Trezor. There is a video on YouTube of a Nano S being driven over by a car and still works. Nano S guarantee is two years while Trezor is warrantied for one.

Both have secure on device recovery now so you never have to be concerned about typing your seed into a computer if you need to replace a broken hardware wallet. Better buy two while you are at it, it is always nice to have a spare in case of loss or malfunction. As long as you have a spare you can recover your written seed to a new wallet in 10 minutes.

Are these still the top choice for a multicoin hardware wallet? Is there one that supports the newer platforms like NEO, Ubiq, and Waves? Even a rumor of a hardware that supports all the above and more?
Also, I was wondering if you can stake coins that are stored in a hardware wallet?
Lastly, can you copy the private keys of a hardware wallet, incase the device break and you don't have the seed?
Thanks for your time!

i'm a newbie too and would like to also ask :
are hardware wallets safer than online wallets?

[faroredono]

If you're HODL for 5-10 years, I would definitely do paper.

Electronics have a lifespan, and you don't want to find out when your hardware wallet is about to die. I would only use a hardware wallet if I needed to get access easily on the road, not for 5-10 year holds.

Hardware wallet is probably as safe as you can get with convenience. I have most of my alts stored in a far more complex system but trezor is super secure and it's fast and easy to use.

In case of hardware device failure (or loss) you can recover your wallet using the seed (that you have on paper). You don't need a new hardware wallet to do this.

You can use seeds to get your information and coins back if you're using ledger nano S. And I don't think their life span is less than 10 years. Think about 15 yer old mp3 players. They're still working.

I looked into hardware wallets and the Ledger S is what I settled on.  As others have said, they're sold out until mid-September so hopefully you're not in a hurry.  And just to be clear, the Ledger S allows for a paper backup so that if it's lost or damaged you can restore your wallet using the seed.

man, all these wallets and they're sold out, makes me wonder if that's not a serious indication of a bubble among cryptosphere

What a bubble? We are in the fact that the crypto become a trend later, they're sold out due to secure the money in the safe place, remember a lot of the hacked case and a lot of the duns already drained from the online wallet.

What got me looking into it was several factors; BTC being now worth $4000, the BTC-e fiasco, and the recent Poloniex wobble has me a bit spooked.  I have several alt-coins so it'd be nice to consolidate them and not have them locked on my PC or risked on the web.

I ordered the ledger nano but it will take like 4 months to deliver. . . . I hope my bitcoins are safe until then
