OVERVIEW: BITCOIN HARDWARE WALLETS █████████████████ Secure your Coins

[skeem]

This is really great creature.

[BitcoinNewsMagazine]

I use both the Trezor and Ledger Nano, and much prefer the Trezor even at higher price of 99 USD. The KeepKey looks promising still waiting for pricing. My Case hardware wallet is promised to ship on 9/21 and will publish a full review when received at best bitcoin hardware wallet 2015.

The idea sounds pretty nice and stuff however their website is totally fucked up and not professional at all , same goes for the soundwallet it self (as I said good idea but they didn't do it right) , like what the hell :

1. Order a record
2. Generate a public and private key securely
3. Add a password to your private key by using your wallet and/or encrypt your private key
4. Send private key to us
5. Get your Sound Wallet in the mail

But I suppose they gave good idea to developers , people could developpe a software that does that .

Thank you for putting up that link to DigitalBitbox, I found it interesting.

I now wait for the product to come out, as well as reviews.

If the price is reasonable (low), and if it works like we hope, I will buy one.

How much longer till EliptiBox has a product?  Been months since first word. Their website looks the same now as it did then.

[BitcoinNewsMagazine]

I currently have a Keepkey and have done a review at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1161827.0 any questions or issues and I will gladly answer them.

Since you have hands on experience would you pay $239 for a KeepKey?

Bitcoin Hardware Wallet KeepKey Launches and Begins Shipping

Yes and no, if I had a large amount of bitcoin or cash then yes, if I was doing everything I could to gather as much BTC to hoard for investment reasons then possibly a Trezor and put the extra 140$ into btc. The keepkey is a really nice safe piece and seems a lot higher quality like it will last longer.

The price of 239 USD is extremely expensive even though worldwide shipping is included in the cost.
You can get ledger hardware for 10% of KeepKey price, or trezor for 99$.
I think that the trezor does it job, also the ledger is secured good enough if you can afford the price.

Thanks as always, LiteCoinGuy, for maintaining this valuable thread.

I also see the KeepKey as being too expensive.  I was not put off by the Trezor at $100 (or maybe a little more when I bought it), but the KeepKey seems to be too much.

I am happy with my Ledger Nano!  It has worked just fine the 20 or so times I have used it.  And the price is right...

Indeed. I do not think the plastic case of Trezor is a negative. It is light, compact and easy to carry and use with a phone. Really the appearance of the hardware wallet is not of consequence as long as it works as intended, the 24 word seed is what is most important to guard. Trezor has a track record of over a year now and was developed by the same people behind the first bitcoin mining pool. KeepKey is trying to make a buck using a fork of Trezor's code. Imitation is flattery yes? Ledger is a bargain but has limitations. It must be initialized on a computer you know is free of malware. It lacks Trezor's advanced security feature of creating hidden wallets.

KeepKey Hardware Wallet Review

If you already own a TREZOR, there’s little upgrade for you here. However, if you are in the market for your first hardware wallet (something I strongly recommend), the KeepKey is well worth consideration. Having used both, I wanted to share my experience.

Thanks for the review! KeepKey certainly looks nice, but until they support Mycelium on Android I will stay with Trezor at less than half the price. With KeepKey at $239 and the Case wallet at $200 Trezor is looking like a bargain at $99. If you have a newer Android phone that supports USB host protocol (OTG) all you need is Mycelium Wallet and an OTG cable to connect your Trezor and you have more functionality and security than Case.

Case Wallet Review

pricey and it looks not very good for that price... 

[OROBTC]

I am just going to make a guess here that most people just want a simple, robust, nice-looking and easy-to-use wallet.  I don't think that most of us want or need extra features.  Extra features = extra costs + extra vulnerabilities.

A wallet that is pretty much un-hackable and will hold up to being carried around.

just wondering which ones are easier to get within the EU
