Good idea. I had never heard of hardbit, but they do list prices:
http://www.hardbit.cn/index.php/purchase

otoh, they do not provide source code, Id be very reluctant to trust them

[EricKennedy]

Great initiative!
A little precision: Ledger Wallet Nano's price is 29€ (world) + 20% tax (UE)

[LiteCoinGuy]

thx for the infos  . website says 34,80 € ?!

[EricKennedy]

Probably because you are in a EU country. But from the USA, you'll see 29€.

[LiteCoinGuy]

ok, i will add that. thx!

[EricKennedy]

Also, to be exact, the Nano (based on HW1) is not completely open source. The Ledger Wallet Chrome application is open source (https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledger-wallet-chrome), but the firmware is closed source (NDAs prevents us to reveal some internals related to the secure chip). However, thanks to the complete specifications (https://github.com/LedgerHQ/btchip-doc) you can verify that the device is doing what it should, since it is using deterministic signatures and that clients follow the specification. Checking this by yourself should give you enough confidence to use it.
As we are based on a secure element, any client application can attest the legitimacy of the Nano. This means that you get the proof that you have in your hands a genuine Nano and not a "remplacement" switched by a third party during transportation.

thx for these extensive explanation. its always hard to make categories like these above because when you do this, you have to go into details  
i want to make a short overview about the existing hardware wallets. i dont recommend one over the other.

maybe i will remove this category because its not accurate and makes too much work.

Trezor is based in Czech republic.

[crazy-pilot]

I'm waiting for the Cryptolabs, can't wait to try it out.

Trezor is based in Czech republic.

thx. edited.

Anyone have any of these and can post a review? I'm in the market for anything under $50

Thank you, I like it.

nice thread, actually there are very few alternatives of hardware wallets
the real good one is trezor,but its price is a little big high
ledger is good too,but it has no screen and some closed code

What do you mean some closed code? Ive seen good reviews on Ledger and have been considering grabbing a couple.

I've been considering - should I get some ledger wallets or a couple more trezors?  They both seem good except trezor is almost 3x the price... Any opinions?

[kkurtmann]

My opinion is that Trezor is THE most secure hardware wallet of those available today or in the distant future.

[kkurtmann]

I like the look and what little description there is of BFL's hardware wallet. That might be one that I get also if it is not run like the Case.
