I've had hands-on with a whole bunch of hardware wallets over the years.
So far, nothing has beat the Foundation Passport, as it combines all my needs:
  • Convenience: Usable with all my devices, compact size
  • Airgap = smaller attack surface, no need to always carry a cable
  • Large screen and keypad = quick to use and easy to check addresses
  • Secure element for security against hardware-attacks

As well as my general requirements for wallets:
  • Open-source (hardware & software)
  • Reproducible builds

It does have a battery problem, but when you get used to use it, the time spent with screen on is so minimal that batteries don't have to be replaced too frequently.
Due to metal parts and form factor, it's also more rugged than the other wallets that I've held in my hands in the past.

Review

After owning the Foundation Devices Passport 'Founders Edition' for a few months, I would like to share my thoughts / experience!
I kept notes of stuff I tried so far, so I hope I'm not missing anything.
