Looking at the image, I can't see it. Is the besel visible? (Can you see a distinct line between the LCD screen and the case of the device?)
Anyone interested in the Trezor 2.0?
If you look at a KeepKey from the side you see a dark grey aluminum base and the black clear plastic screen. The dividing line is exactly half of the depth of the device. You can see some clear pictures at the
Amazon product listing. The case is quite beautiful and pleasing to hold. Looks like something Apple might design.
Since both Trezor and KeepKey cost the same, which to buy?
Reasons to go with KeepKey:
1) You like the looks and do not need a hardware wallet that works with your Android phone. You are comfortable using it with Multibit HD or the Chrome extension. Passphrase protection of your seed is not essential to you, but you like knowing you can do it using Chrome or Electrum.
2) You appreciate the 12 word seed and the novel rotating cipher recovery method. Perhaps you store the seed securely and wipe the KeepKey between uses, in effect turning it into a transaction device for a paper wallet.
Reasons to buy Trezor:
1) You like the compact size and do require a hardware wallet that works with your Android phone and many other wallets.
2) You do not mind storing a 24 word seed and realize recovering your seed to a new Trezor is slightly less secure than the method KeepKey uses in theory.
3) You need the password manager recently introduced by Trezor.
4) Trezor was the innovator with a two year track record. You prefer to support SatoshiLabs rather than KeepKey, who build a business off the open source Trezor firmware.
Either will serve you well and there is no reason not to own both. Though most folks who use a hardware wallet tend to stay with one brand and become intimately familiar with its features. Remember that all electronics can fail and it is a good idea to have a spare of your favored brand on hand in case of loss or failure. Trezor 2.0 is sometime in the future, not in a few months. There is no reason to delay purchasing a Trezor as your current one will continue to function as designed even if an improved version is introduced.
