This is not normal. When opening or closing the key, it shouldn't make any mechanical friction. Either the COB has been misplaced, or it is a default in our production facility. Could you please take a picture of it and send it to [email protected] ? If it cannot be fixed by gluing the COB in a better solution, we'll send you a new wallet free of charge.

I just got a Ledger. Have not set it up yet, but straight out of the box I have one issue. The physical design.
It has the chip on a plastic base that swings on a hinge attached to its casing so you can protect the chip, but the casing or cover ( the part you hold when inserting the chip into USB port) is metal. It has sharp edges. Every time I retract or open the chip I risk scratching the chip. I no like!
This is a pretty minor flaw which could be corrected pretty easy. I hope they improve this.
I let you know how it works as a wallet after I set it up.

I don't know if that one qualifies as a hardware wallet. It's an encrypted private key on a plastic card which you scan with a mobile app. At $17 it's quite cheap and it works well for simple payments.

i've never knew about that, thanks for letting me know. some of them are nice, but some of them too robotic
Trezor is nice but a simple encrypted paper wallet printed on paper that resist to water is safe too even if it doesn't have all the functions of Trezor.
...until you go to spend it and your compromised computer steals your coin.

I can recommend Ledger Wallet too!

I vouch for Trazor they are awesome. May have to snap up all of the others though to satisfy my geek side

thx for these extensive explanation. its always hard to make categories like these above because when you do this, you have to go into details 
i want to make a short overview about the existing hardware wallets. i dont recommend one over the other.
maybe i will remove this category because its not accurate and makes too much work.

Perhaps you can change it to something like "security verifiable by third party" or something.
BTW, please delete picolo's useless full OP quote, at least until he learns how to use quote tags and stops posting just to spam his sig.

Please have a look at this Hardware Cold Wallet. It is very cheap if you already own a Raspberry Pi.

Seems pretty pricey for what it is. But a fun project to do yourself.
pricey and not made for the "average joe".

What do you mean some closed code? Ive seen good reviews on Ledger and have been considering grabbing a couple.
As written a few posts before:
The Ledger Wallet Chrome application is open source (https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledger-wallet-chrome), but the firmware is closed source (NDAs prevents us to reveal some internals related to the secure chip). However, thanks to the complete specifications (https://github.com/LedgerHQ/btchip-doc) you can verify that the device is doing what it should, since it is using deterministic signatures and that clients follow the specification. Checking this by yourself should give you enough confidence to use it.
As we are based on a secure element, any client application can attest the legitimacy of the Nano. This means that you get the proof that you have in your hands a genuine Nano and not a "remplacement" switched by a third party during transportation.

My opinion is that Trezor is THE most secure hardware wallet of those available today or in the distant future.
FYI, your trezor affiliate code in your signature is broken.
