No offense to OPs product, but I wouldn't consider purchasing an item like that which costs more than one of my hardware wallets. You can get a fireproof and waterproof document bag from Amazon for $9.99. It has several compartments where you can place electronic devices, money, jewelry, even a laptop, etc. Whether or not it gets the job done properly, I don't know.
According to Amazon, it's made of "silicone coated fiberglass" that can stand heat up to 2000℉.

Topic: Case for Ledger Nano (Read 147 times)
One guy reported that he touched his ledger wallet with his hand while it was connected to his PC and it died from his own static electricity shock, screen turned off and he never managed to turned it back on.
So you don't even need to have any case for this to happen, and I am sure ledger don't have any protection against this, and it's not just ledger thing but it can happen to any electric or metal component.
Happens to me sometimes when I open my car door and I have anti-static wrist strap when working with computer components.

Sorry but sounds like fiction story to me. For this to happen Ledger case has to have metallic parts which are capable to transfer the static electricity to electronic components of its board but the latter is fully protected by plastic shield of the Ledger shell. It is more likely that his ledger was damaged by the the electric surge coming from USB port.
We may not know for sure but everything that has metal parts on it connecting to its PCB will obviously be a source for any electrical current so even the slight of touch near the input of the hardware wallet can cause the a static shock transferred to the hardware wallet, it is the same thing as your own scenario as the usb input is the one which cause the surge transfer to the hardware wallet.
This got me interested, can an aluminum case like this one be susceptible to electrical damage to the devices you put inside it? I'm not familiar how conductive aluminum is but from what I know hardware from PC can break with just a little bit of static put into it. AFAIK hardware wallets don't have this kind of protection to electrical damage so I think its better to have non-conductive materials if you ever want to protect your hardware wallets.

Imho this is irrelevant; at those temperatures, even if the capsule survives, you will find inside it some melted plastic/materials, not a hardware wallet you can use.
The point of capsule is waterproof storage.

Aluminum is conductive. And afaik that's fine, unless it touches something electrically charged.
And since there's no electrical contact between the case and the micro USB plug I don't know if any harm can be done. Maybe by big charges/currents. Or you are referring to protection to lightning and such?

I remembered that an identical debate had already taken place around a similar thing, and that even the price was similar. I can't say for what exact reason people set such high prices, but it certainly won't bring them profit or survival in the market. If you check the linked thread you will see that the site no longer exists, so it seems that the owner was not very successful in his business.

Way too expensive, and the makers of the OpenDime sell what amounts to exactly the same thing (on the coinkite website, linked here, you'll find it as the Opendime Capsule). And it's only USD $13.99. I have one of these and you can definitely fit a Nano S into it with room for padding, though the Nano X doesn't fit.
I like the idea of this kind of storage, which is why I bought one from coinkite--but as NeuroticFish has pointed out, you can find something similar that will do the job just fine for a lot cheaper than what OP is trying to sell them for.

Than you don't need any capsule, just buy waterproof plastic zip bag for 1$ and put your hardware wallet inside.
I guess if you were planning on burying this somewhere, the waterproof aluminum case would come in handy, unlike a Zip-Loc bag. I'm not sure how many people have buried anything related to crypto, but I'm sure there are at least a few out there for which a case like this would be useful.

There are some Stainless Steel Thermal Insulated bottles that are protecting inside from high temperature so your water aka ledger keeps cool inside, but I have not tested this myself with hardware wallet

Aluminum alloy is a bad choice for making something like this and higher temperatures can easily destroy it along with ledger device, not to mention the fact that it is more expensive than ledger nano s.
Maybe it can protect from water but I don't see any testing, confirmation or certification that capsule is actually waterproof.
I found other similar products like Byzantine Vault and even some files so you can 3d print capsules yourself but the point is to choose the right materials for this and that is probably steel or maybe copper, but not cheap aluminum.
Aluminum Alloys melting point 463-671 c (865-1240 f)
Steel Stainless melting point 1510 c (2750 f)
Copper melting point 1084 c (1983 f)

I'm sorry, but this doesn't sound right.
The capsule looks like hiking waterproof capsule you can buy from China at 1/10 of the price OP is asking for.
I have a feeling that it's the exact same product OP is trying to re-sell re-branded ad-hoc as Ledger case.

Why you can't made payments using Bitcoin or any other crypto payment processor? It is a mistake to promote for Ledger Nano (hardware wallet) Case and you do not accept payments in Bitcoin.
The next step is to upload a video with basic tests for your case as testing for fluids, fires, falling from a high place and so on.
The shape of case is good, you need to add some details and reduce the price a little.

I think the case is cool, and it may also be used to store a paper with the seed inside.
However, imo, the price is too high. 60 dollars? This is nearly the ledger nano s price (which is 70 in brasil)

Hello! I have a Ledger Nano S, and wanted a case for it that would protect it, plus look cool in my EDC. I ended up making a few for my friends and they love them, so now I sell them on Etsy. The cases have a tough aluminum alloy exterior, and a custom sized insert with closed cell foam padding and a silicon o-ring to make them waterproof. Not for everyone, but it makes me feel like James Bond every time I open it 😎
