I have three recommendations.

If you don't have a high budget buy a Ledger Nano/Ledger HW.1 (HW.1 is exactly the same but may not be of as high build standard as the former)

But if you have more funds, buy a Trezor or a Ledger Nano S (I prefer the Trezor as it isn't HD)

Or you can wait for the Trezor 2 Cheesy

Trezor itself is not a wallet but it does support BIP32 and HD wallets. It holds your bitcoin private keys securely offline and signs transactions.

I think I'll wait for Trezor 2

Exactly my thinking. I'm holding some funds just for the momentous occasion. Maybe the first Trezor will drop in price, as it only costs $19, but you have to add $100 for development and research

Sadly case still not list on https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
I know case for a year ago and it's secure with their features.

Costs too much. If you have an Android phone running Marshmallow Breadwallet uses your fingerprint to authorize, just like Case, and uses hardware level encryption. If you have an iPhone or newer Android Breadwallet is a good choice. I would have no problem keeping 10 bitcoin or more in Breadwallet. Trezor has a sale on now so you can pick one up for $79 using the code bitfinex, and it works great with Mycelium on Android.

The best for me is ellectrum
because fast syncronize or without syncronize
another platform mycelium or multibit syncronize is take a long time
iam use only recomended bitcoin . org, except wallet online blockchain although is now not write in bitcoin org still iam use

Those wallets are not hardware wallets. Those are desktop wallets. Please read the thread and understand what it is about before posting.

Case hardware wallet and they consider their wallet as The world's most secure and easy-to-use bitcoin wallet
It use biometrics and It's a multi-signature wallet (I like the design compared to other hardware wallets as well) : https://choosecase.com/

That looks really cool. I had never seen it. I've only seen KeepKey, Trezor, and Ledger. But this is a standalone wallet. When was this released?

Case started shipping last October. Still costs $199, I bought one to try out but never use it. One more thing to carry. Breadwallet works just fine on my phone and also has fingerprint authentication.

I do need a secure wallet, I was thinking cold storage but it's a long process to use them. Case seems like a really good option. I just feel like it may be outdated with a newer hardware wallet soon.

Case is a multisignature wallet. You can buy a Trezor right now at a discount and use it with Mycelium on your phone if you like. You will always have sole possession of your private keys stored safely away in the Trezor.

How about electrum but never tested it yet.. do you think guys if you convert your electrum lite into hardware you will use smooth experience and more features?

Electrum works very well with Trezor see https://doc.satoshilabs.com/trezor-apps/electrum.html remember you have to set up Trezor first at mytrezor.com then follow the directions to use Electrum with Trezor.
