This is because in general the wallet should still be easy to destroy in case of a 5$ wrenching attack  Wink
Physical destruction of HWs in "most cases" isn't going to give you enough protection against such attacks [unfortunately]... A decoy wallet would probably provide better protection, but this feature doesn't exist in some of the HWs.

That’s true for most wallets but it’s kind of a design flaw from the manufacturer, since it is an important security feature to be able to destroy the device easily. Not only because you need it in case of an attack but also if you want to throw away your device after it is old. In my coldcard the secure storage devices are clearly labelled and easy to destroy for example.

Is there a confirmation from Coinkite that Tapsigner isn't waterproof [I had no luck in finding it]? I was under the impression that almost all of these smart cards are either waterproof or at least water-resistant to a certain degree...

I Never knew that we had waterproof hardware wallets. Very interesting to see if it is generally good or bad if the wallet is very durable. This is because in general the wallet should still be easy to destroy in case of a 5$ wrenching attack  Wink still I would love to see some tests.

Keevo Model 1 is not waterproof. Fixed on spreadsheet/article

The waterproof section is not new, I just moved the row. I am trying to confirm if I have some mistakes.
Waiting confirmation from Keevo and Ngrave teams

Ellipal & Coolwallet are waterproof, they mention that here:
https://www.ellipal.com/blogs/news/the-dangers-of-physical-attacks-on-your-hardware-wallet
https://www.coolwallet.io/introducing-the-coolwallet-pro-for-enhanced-staking-defi-dapp-and-nft-support/

Arculus support answered this to me in the past:
"Yes, the Arculus Key™ Card is waterproof, but we don't advise submerging it in water if you can avoid it."

NGrave support team: "It's not completely waterproof but the ZERO is IP55-certified and is resistant to water and dust."

I am trying to add as many wallets as possible. I didn't know oneKey, I will add it. Thanks for mentioning it. I am open to new suggestions.

you're welcome, it was a pleasure to give you an extra tip on what to include in your web article, I personally met OneKey thanks to the bitcointalk forum, I had never heard of it and when I read it for the first time I immediately liked it , despite this, however, I am not a holder of any OneKey currently

I will add those two wallets you mentioned to my list of wallets to evaluate.
Did you also add Waterproof section for hardware wallets in spreadsheet or was it always there?
If I understand correctly CoolWallet, Ellipal, Keystone, Ngrave and few other wallets are unde this category but I don't think they are all waterproof.
I need this information for my research, so how can I read this information correctly?

With 120 x 75 x 22 mm this is now officially largest hardware wallet device in the world... it's yuge  Cheesy
@maxirosson
I was about to respond and say it's not the largest hardware wallet [based on your list], but it appears that you made a mistake for the Keevo Model 1 [instead of using the dimensions for the device in question (95 mm x 58 mm x 11 mm), you included the dimensions for its "Exclusive Desktop Display Case (167 mm x 117 mm x 48 mm)"].

I am trying to add as many wallets as possible.
I am trying to focus on the more popular and best wallets, because there are lots of them.
The following two might not be that popular, but perhaps they deserve a spot as well:


BTW, I think it's time to update the number of HW [32 and counting] in the subject field of this thread.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I added more updates to the article/spreadsheet:
- Added OneKey Mini, OneKey Classic and OneKey Touch wallets
- Added firmware release notes links for each wallet (when available)

I am going to take a look to Cypherock X1 and Tangem

Thanks for that link with all those wallets. I am trying to focus on the more popular and best wallets, because there are lots of them.
And I don't think you should add all of them Wink but here are few suggestions for you to consider.
OneKey is most popular hardware wallet manufacturer from China (much more popular than Safepal or Keystone), I received that information from several trusted sources.
They currently have three models you can add (Mini, Classic, Touch), they are open source and have reasonable prices.
Cypherock X1 is also interesting hardware wallet from India that works different from all other hardware wallets, and you can also add one more card style wallet called Tangem.

Added dimension for all the wallets and also added Tapsigner.
Nice one, I see you listened to my earlier suggestion Wink
Dimensions are currently missing for Arculus wallet, but I guess it's similar like for all other card style wallets.... not saying that I support or like Arculus in any way.

And how the heck did you find dimensions for for upcoming Coldcard Q1  hardwa wallet?

excellent article and well written, I really liked the idea, I saw that you also included closed source hardware wallets such as safepal but you did not mention oneKey among the open source hardware wallets, I wanted to ask you why you omitted some hw?

Yes, good idea. I could add that info. Not sure if it is available for all the wallets, but I could try

Now comparing 28 hardware wallets, feature by feature
Thank you for keeping this spreadsheet updated maxirosson.
I have one suggestion, can you please add dimension/size for all devices (cm/inch), since you already added weight and most of the other things?
I am especially interested to find out exact dimensions for new ColdCard Q1 device.
