At first I used Blockchain.info, and then I started to move into Xapo. And I also want to try the BitcoinQT, but the blockchain size is too big for me.

I'm using Trezor for long term storage, Blockchain for day to day stuff (small deposits) so I don't have to worry about getting hacked

I am sticking to the original Bitcoin Core wallet.
I don't see anything wrong with it so I didn't look for anything else.

A few things that can wrong with it are: your computer can be compromised (whether from the internet or someone you know) or your computer can crash and you haven't saved your wallet recently (and had money sent to new addresses that weren't yet saved in your old wallet.dat).

Oh, don't worry about it.
I have backups of the wallet.dat on 2 locations.
So even if my PC crashes and it's lost, I can recover my wallets  Wink
You didn't get his points. Once you make 100 transactions or create new address, you need to back up you wallet again! One wallet.dat includes 100 addresses and once uses up all of addresses, the bitcoin client creates new address. So you old wallet.dat don't contain this new address! I think you should get now! I don't need to further explain!

I use blockchain.info for smaller transactions during the days and Electrum for holding more long term never had any problems, so if something is not broke then don't try fix it.

Why do you choose blockchain for smaller transaction? Does it can't send too much of bitcoin or did it take too long for the confirmation? And you choose electrum just for saving not for sending? I guess both of them is the same way for saving
IMO he has his own reason! BlockChain is online wallet. Due to security concern, most ppl choose it to save small amount of bitcoin for daily spending! Electrum has high security. We can calmly save our money in it for long term!

blockchain.info for spending  Smiley

but i heard that breadwallet is good too.

OP: choosecase "case" is not available yet!

Why you use blockchain for spending? Did it faster to find blocks? I guess every wallet have the same purpose that is for spending or saving? So whats the different among them?
you are not newbie here! Why do you still ask this beginner questions? BlockChain is online wallet, which is quick and secure.I wonder what wallet you are using!

I chose Electrum because that's the one I have been using from a long time, I have also used Multibit but I find Electrum to be more user friendly.

I have a question on wallets and I am going to ask here instead of opening a new thread. I have never used Mobile wallets, never had any use for them but nowadays I find myself sometimes away from my PC and a need to send BTC and I was thinking of installing one and if someone has any suggestions on which one should I use, kindly let me know.

I need it somewhat like electrum, meaning I don't want to download the whole blockchain and I need it to have the ability to import/export private keys.

PS: My phone has Android OS.

Mycelium. Hands down best.

Thanks. Smiley

Yep, original works wonders. Why risk it with anything else if Bitcoin-Qt works just fine? I understand others may appreciate the functionality of other wallets, but for those who don't Bitcoin-Qt is and will probably always be the safest option.

Bitcoin-QT isn't safer than holding money on a safely made paper wallet.

I used to use bitcoin core but it is way too clunky now. Especially with the 40GB blockchain. Now I just use blockchain.info.
It is quick and easy and accessible everywhere.
Although I haven't really explored some other wallets anyway, so I can't really talk.

I agree that Bitcoin Core is quite sluggish, but it is probably one of the better options regarding to storing your coins on pc.

I really hope you dont store all your coins online as the risk of losing your coins is quite high with online storage.

Looks like there's a new hardware Bitcoin wallet in town:

http://choosecase.com/

Not sure I'm feeling the pricetag though.   Undecided

Actually I looked up everything there is to look up about Case, and I really like it. I preordered one. It is almost a category on its own, being more secure than a trezor or maybe even cold storage, but easier to spend from than an iOS wallet.
And you can also link it to your bank account so you can buy more bitcoin right in your wallet when you need to.

Pretty sweet if you ask me.

Either use Mycelium or my Trezor.  I do keep some on Coinbase for some purchases since many vendors use that one also. 

Also used Armory for awhile but the old one took forever and a day to load on an old I5 laptop.
