Even I use Blockchain android application because it's user friendly and safe one of my friend suggested me Blockchain after using it or long time.

I use Coinbase since almost three years. Initially had one at blockchain.info but then after the known of Coinbase decide to use this last for to many reasons. First Coinbase pay all my fees for every sent of bitcoins I made. So no any kind of fee for me. Then 98% of customer funds are stored offline. Offline storage provides an important security measure against theft or loss. Coinbase distribute bitcoin geographically in safe deposit boxes and vaults around the world.

Coinbase is insured against employee theft and hacking in an amount that exceeds the average value of online bitcoin it holds at any given time. Specifically, Coinbase's insurance policy would respond in the event that bitcoin stored in Coinbase was lost or stolen as a result of a breach of our physical security, cyber security, or as a result of employee theft. Coinbase has held this insurance since November 2013 with highly rated carriers (S&P rating of A+ or A.M. Best Rating of A XV or higher).

Then I can create a multisig vault in minutes, just like me would want to have a regular vault or wallet. The difference is that I am in total control of my private keys.

Naturally that if wanted can be used 2 step verification. But not with sms in your cell (thing very boring because to many time the sms cannot arrive and let you out of your money. But using Authy in your smartphone which generate how many codes you want to use in the moment that you open it. So enter in your wallet with two step verification using directly the codes that are generates in your smartphone.

I use blockchain android app and mycelium wallet.
I used blockchain web wallet too.
I tried blocktrail.com web wallet for a while but I stopped because I have no access to my private keys
I do not own a PC or a Laptop so I don't use desktop walleta

you don't need to support the network to use it, when you see only 8 connection are not actually running a full node

so you're not supporting anything, i'm also using core, and downloading the whole chain is not an issue in 2016

Currently I am using mobile wallet and web based wallets because my PC was broken. I use mycelium wallet on mobile (android) since its one of the most recommended mobile wallet especially on android and because of its nice features like signing message. As for web based ones , I use blockchain.info wallet and coinbase bitcoin wallet. So far I'm satisfied and feel confident with the said wallets, I am exploring others though

For online wallets I'm using blockchain and coinbase. Both are really good, I never had an issue with either of them.
Next to those, I got an offline wallet because I'm more comfortable having those bitcoins that I don't use offline rather than on the internet if I won't be using them anyway.

But the warnings are clear, make sure to have your coins safely secured offline.

i use two types of wallets one online web wallet and one hardware wallet, web wallet is for my sports betting, which i use is coinbase and xapo, coinbase is fast in transfering and receiving payments and it is free of charge , hardware wallet i use electrum which is for my signature payment and savings.

I use coinbase as an online wallet because I do not mind not being anonymous, and I can buy / sell bitcoins for cash easily there.

Also I use multibit in my pc in order to diversify some of my earnings just in case the online wallet gets hacked or something. I like multibit because the integrated functionality to do backups.

I use blockchain, coinbase and an offline wallet on my pc. The offline wallet for obvious reasons, I started with blockchain and after a couple of months I wanted to try out different wallets to see how it worked and such. They both are nice and user friendly.

Paper wallet for long term storage, Xapo/Coin Pocket (IOS) and bitcoin core (Windows).

I use core client. In order to use it, I need to download the whole block chain and support the network.

You can try Electrum or multibit for PC Because Multibit and electrum are having good features in their wallet system Like In electrum you can use large number of transaction and it will work in very low level signal also and In multibit Its good as offline wallet but little slow in transactions. As you said Blockchain.info good as Online wallet for any kind of transaction.

I use blockchain as my online wallet and an offline wallet as well. I don't own that many bitcoins so there's no use for me to have 10+ wallets.

Try MultiBit HD. I also used to have only online Blockchain wallet, but then i got used to multibit.

as pc wallet i use bitcoin core. it works fine for me eventhough people say it's slow. as online wallet i use the service that blockchain.info is offering. i only use my online wallet for very low amounts.

I only have online wallets since I don't know how to use other bitcoin wallet and I have not much bitcoin to store anyway. I 'll just learn how to use other btc wallets when I am ready to buy some serious amount of btc.

Copay - because it is easy and slick.

I currently hold most of my bicoins on blockchain.info, however my trezor should arrive in a couple of days, so I'll be using their wallet after that. I use mycelium on my phone as well.

I usually use Blockchain.info because it has full of features, such as blockchain explorer, Shared Coin, and any other features that typical Bitcoin wallet have.
And I also use MultiBit but not often, I use it because it's a light wallet which mean I don't have to download the full Blockchain just like Bitcoin Core. But the new update (MultiBit HD) is kinda hard to use for me, the UI is worse than the old one.
On my phone I use Mycelium, because it'll generate another address every time I received a transaction. And it's very easy to use, and also the size of the app is not that big.

I've just been using the bog standard Bitcoin Core Wallet. Does the job, but I've been looking to see if there are better options around.

Would love to hear suggestions.
