Nice list of BTC hardware wallets.
I'd suggest that you add some features and pros & cons about using each one of them in a few words.
Good compilation though.

Bitcoin becomes popular increasingly just because that it is a kind of virtual currency, and it is convenient for us to use it in the internet. But now, we store it by a conventional way again. It is so interesting isn't it?

it is just one way to store your coins. and it all depends on how much you own. i always keep 100-200 USD in BTC on my phone - but not my lifesavings  |

Just enough to pay for a coffee or email (if it ever comes up --  )... It looks like the question of "critical mass" applies to BTC: when (if?) enough merchants accept it, then it will take off. Spending BTC is the biggest problem IMO (other than on gold, but I have enough gold). I would like to spend BTC at restaurants, etc. Or in Peru (my other beat), but Peru is NOT a Bitcoin place (unlike Argentina where BTC is catching on). In the meantime, HODL, HODL, HODL... |

Except the old adage applies, "if you don't own your keys, you don't own the bitcoin". They still hold a key, what happens when the company disappears? |

Still waiting for mine to ship. The problem with the charging pad overheating is a real concern. I think Jake's comment that he uses his Case for a hot wallet for day to day use while using Trezor for main storage is spot on. |

I really want to know if choosecase is real, it suppose to ship on Sept 21,2015. I wanted to preorder, but was very cautious of bitcoin hardware preorders.  I hear you. I pre-ordered a Case as soon as sales were open back in May. They sent me an email back in September that they would be shipping Sept. 21, here it is over a month later and I have not received the Case yet. No tracking, no further emails. I know they sent out some but had problems with the charger overheating. I would not order from them until they get their act together. That is a shame because it looked like a convenient way to store one or two bitcoin as a hot wallet for easy shopping. |

Of course the keep key looks the best... it has a touchscreen and its from the US! Great list though, well done.
Do you guys think it's worth it to b buy a keep key, or just use an old hard drive as my wallet?

KeepKey does not have a track record yet ... can not yet be used with your phone ... and costs $139 more than a Trezor. Trezor has been out over a year now and works great. Sure Trezor is small and plastic, but you can carry it in your pocket on your key ring. You can buy a Ledger and Starter USB for $40 but Trezor is well worth the extra $60 for the screen, I use both of them. |

Also for people wanting an even cheaper Hardware Wallet option, Goochain founder is launching Citadelle, based on HW.1 - https://goochain.net/citadelle (also announced here) You might want to include it in the summary. |

I did and got this reply: We apologize for the delay in shipment. Due to an unexpected issue in areas with weak signal strength in some areas we delayed shipment for a few weeks. We are issuing a statement in the next few days to all of our customers with a detailed plan for shipping the final devices. Signal strength is not a problem where I live so a cut and paste generic response. I suspect there are more problems with the first production run. The overheating charging pads a reviewer already mentioned would also have to be replaced. Case definitely needs to be more open with customers who pre-ordered. |
