I just got an email from ShapeShift with a coupon code for a free KeepKey Hardware Wallet. I think the offer is only open to those who've already registered with the ShapeShift exchange service, but if you've been considering getting one it might be worth looking into whether they're available for new registrants.
I already own a KeepKey and I'm not particularly thrilled with it. The Pin feature is limited, making it slightly less secure than a Trezor or a Ledger. It does, however support Bip39 seed phrases and passphrases, so it could be used as a back-up to your other hardware wallets.
The Chrome extension only supports legacy addresses (for receiving, it can send to Bech32 and nested segwit addresses,) but that can be overcome if you use it with Electrum. I've never used mine with ShapeShift's web interface, so I don't know if this limitation exists with that interface.
Anyway, if you qualify to get a free one, I don't know why you wouldn't. Shipping is also free, so the price is definitely affordable.
