For beginners who are still trying to buy a hardware wallet, if you don't know, I think you should, hardware wallets do worn out in time depending on how you use it, a friend came to me showing me his ledger wallet and how clunky the buttons feel today, he complained that making transaction on it is now harder as he have to press button more than once.

Also the little screen color that was once vibrant have now faded like reduction of the screen color, I think this is one of the bad side of hardware wallet, he claimed he bought it three years ago, but I told him he is to be blame, because the max year for a hardware wallet should be up to five years if you use it well, I end up telling him to get another one.

Looking at the hardware wallet, I don't like the sight of it, too many scratches, and I asked him why it looks so ugly, he claimed it fell few times before, like man, you can't be this careless with a hardware wallet.

The best part about hardware wallet is you can abandon the old one by importing your recovery phrase into the new hardware wallet, it's that easy to do and viola! You now have a new hardware wallet with you same old wallet address and assets.

Handle your hardware wallet very well, they hold your assets for you and if you want them to last longer handle them with care, even if you get the most costly hardware wallet, do not let them fall, some come in screens like phone only, no physical buttons to press, imagine letting such hardware fall, if the screen ain't responsive anymore it's over, you will need to spend money again to buy another.

The way you handle your hardware wallet is what will determine its life span.
