The hardware wallet really caught my attention, and I would have love to try it as my first hardware wallet, but the price seems a bit high.

Though device looks very portable, but not sure if it's something that can be frequently carried about by those that travels a lot, due to its size, but it still looks good anyways.

I tried using the store link that you provided, but it seems there is an issue with. I've just followed them on X(Twitter) to get updates, incase the price eventually drops. I believe everyone likes discounts.

a very important new feature in my opinion is the genuine check feature that comes with the new hw-wallet.
this uses secure device identity to ensure that the Jade Plus purchased was manufactured by Blockstream and not from a malicious third party.
this can be done both in Blockstream Green and via the web app

The device is quite nice and a bit catchy.  The metal casing is a nice upgrade though as it would help considerably in protecting the device from damage as a result of falls or even sudden compression probably by wrong storage. Anyways still it's quite expensive too just like dkbit98 mentioned especially depending on the location and the region too.

Although the wallet has a good reinforcement, I'm always concerned about workability in case of damage. Some persons can be pretty careless sometimes and that may cause them to lose their coins especially if they don't have another backup.

This new wallet looks interesting.  I have used Blockstream's Green Wallet, and like it. 

I look forward to reading reviews of this wallet in the weeks to come before making a buying decision.

Interesting device, but a bit expensive for my taste, even the plastic version is worth almost €150.
It looks like more expensive versions have are partially made from metal and €170 is way to expensive for this.
Having SeedQR support, TOTP authentication, dice-created seed phrases and locking sounds good, but it does not justify double the price compared to regular Jade.

EDIT:
I found out that you can get lower price for this devices if you go to the bottom of the page and find offers there.
Classic Black is €132 and other two versions are worth €151.
