I checked some Hardware wallets Ledger nano s and Trezor too . Will buy it too after .
Would suggest reading more about the recent negativity toward Ledger and Trezor before ordering any Hardware Wallet.  They used to be top of the game but now the best Bitcoin Talk members avoid them.

Ledger has lied to their customers about how it was impossible to extract the Seed from their Hardware Wallet.  See the topic here,
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5469941.0

Trezor has a pretty sketchy history of wrong doings now.  This quote will help you understand more briefly,
They work with Wasabi, meaning they are pro-censorship, they fund blockchain analysis, and they support government blacklists. They were also a big supporter of AOPP, which was a protocol designed to make you KYC your own addresses to centralized exchanges before being allowed to withdraw. They only pulled their implementation of it after huge community backlash. The argument against these facts is always "Well, you don't have to use these 'features' if you don't want to", but it shows their underlying morals and ethos are very much not what they once were. I don't want my hardware wallet designed by people who are so pro-surveillance.

I also take more issues with their approach to the seed extraction vulnerability rather than the seed extraction vulnerability itself. I explain why here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5222188.msg53803392#msg53803392

Finally.  It is important to choose a safe way to store your Bitcoin.  If you are choosing to go with Bitcoin ONLY then you can invest in a Foundation Passport which is Airgapped or just create your own Airgapped Wallet using an old laptop or computer you probably have lying around.
