Trezor does offer very good security. Many apps also support the trezor itself, making it quite user friendly. Only downside might be the cost, if cost is calculated, a offline raspberry pi would offer excellent security too.

I once read this article in techcrunch about some Case hardware wallet. That seems pretty cool and secure. I have never used hardware wallets.

Check this article:

best hardware wallet is Trezor as far as i know.

but i always have this question of why use hardware wallets while you can make an offline wallet yourself and don't pay for example 100 USD for a hardware wallet and haven't got the satisfying response yet.

I think best response to that is those who don't use cold storage right. Some would load a paper wallet to send cash on a computer they daily surf with, and have lots of programs on. So really I see hardware being great for those who don't use cold storage right.

I like that trezor uses computer aswell. That is kinda nice knowing it will not fail at device level. But I find case interesting that is uses GSM. I really want to hear if they tested a man in the middle test with a fake GSM tower and what it does to case.

Case is not shipping yet, accepting pre-orders and expects to ship late summer. If your budget is under $50 Ledger Nano is your best choice. If you can afford $119 Trezor is the current gold standard. If you have the Mycelium wallet on your Android phone you can connect Trezor to the phone and use it to manage your private keys. This is currently the safest way to use your phone for sending bitcoin. I have reviews of all the bitcoin hardware wallets at best bitcoin hardware wallet 2015.

I had not seen the case wallet before. Wow does it look pretty nice of features. But man 200 for it, seems like quite the markup.

The way I see it is if I can go to Walmart and get a android phone for 20-30 dollars (cheap phones), a companny should be able to do some smart item for double that easy.

I wish case was around 100 dollars for it. At that price I would jump on it. But 200 not sure I want it bad enough.

I have a Case on order and will publish a full review when it comes in. Right now I see no major advantage to the Case over using the combination of Mycelium on your phone plus Trezor. I think the Mycelium + Trezor would actually be more secure than the Case since you have full control of your private keys. Let's kick the tires when the Case comes in I will give it a thorough test.

Case looked to have a camera. That is pretty nice scan a QR code of an android. I give it a serious pro on having camera. But not sure it's 100 dollar advantage over trezor.

I look foward to a review. Does case work over wifi? They did not show it being connected via usb when sending.

No wifi needed. Case works over the mobile phone network with 183 mobile carriers in 109 countries. It has a built in GSM chip and there are no monthly fees. Case comes with free global Internet access for the life of the device so I think they priced it high enough they can absorb carrier fees.

Interesting I can see why they would need to charge a good amount for that feature. That is kinda a gamechanger having GSM.

What I want to see is what a man in middle attack looks like on one of these. GSM is not 100 percent safe - http://www.wired.com/2010/07/intercepting-cell-phone-calls/

Trezor is the most positively-accepted hardware wallet as of this moment. There are so many positive reviews about it, not to mention that it helps you to easily manage your private keys. If you have a spare $119 for this kind of thing, then go for this baby.

Also, be reminded that a paper wallet is still a great bet when using for an offline/cold storage. Just make sure that you know where you hide it and only you will know the location of where you have hidden it.

I'am not afraid about the place where to hide a paper wallet to be honest , I can put it on the middle of the street and no one is going to touch it because they will think it's trash , 99% of my country don't even know what bitcoin is which is good to me if I use paper wallets Roll Eyes

Then go and use that method if you think it is safe! Cheesy

Too bad, bitcoin awareness isn't that evident yet in your country. Btw, from what country are you from?

Trezor is a hardware device that holds your bitcoin private keys and signs transactions made using an online wallet or Mycelium wallet on your smartphone. You would use the camera on your phone to scan QR codes with the Mycelium wallet. Trezor just holds the private keys and makes it impossible for anyone to steal bitcoin from your phone.

Trezor is most tested/popular as far as hardware wallet out there. It is not cheap but most tested for sure.

Also keep in mind paper wallets. Honestly a good paper wallet is hard to beat. Just makes it harder to spend though.

What makes it a "good paper wallet" , isn't a paperwallet like any other paperwallet? I mean you just head tothe website , print it and keep it somewhere safe. you can't compare between different Paper-wallets

Printing it at home and not in public for one. Clearing cache of printer where it is not in it. The dumber the printer honestly the better security.

You need to keep it safe as far as where you put it. Other big thing is when you use do it safely. If you get the wallet loaded on a computer that is used for web surfing it could be bad. Your paper wallet is only as safe as the computer you load it on eventually.

Do you have a site you can suggest? I found some but I never used them, so I am a little paranoid to use any of them for a paper wallet.

For the HW wallet, there are different options. The two I like are trezor and ledger. Trezor is better but more expensive. Ledger is not as good but much cheaper. They even have a 15$ version if you don't want the bells and whistles. The is a pretty good price I think. It jsut depends on what you want. Take a look at the features of each, look at reviews, etc. And search around, they are releasing new HW wallets all the time. I didn't hear yet that any hw wallets are bad, just different features.

you have this : https://www.bitaddress.org/ & this https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/
second is more sophisticated , it's safe but to make sure download the ZIP (download link on bottom of pages) from the Github and run the HTML page (turn off internet) so you use it Offline . and print and you are done
