I never buy hardware wallet before but Trezor na very popular wallet and na good choice. To be safe, I go recommend you to buy from the company direct or their official websites to avoid tampering of the wallet. You fit find this topic useful amongst others for general board:

LIST] Open Source Hardware Wallets

How do you buy a hardware wallet from unsupported location
Thank you for the list it really helped. But now e don give me more options and I read somewhere say Trezor nor dey airgapped
I nor know if e nor mean

particularly noteworthy is the strict focus on open source.
Note that the secure element is not open source. It's just a regular secure element. Pretty funny coming from the company that spent the best part of the last 10 years saying how closed source secure elements are a security risk and secure elements are unnecessary, while sweeping under the rug their unfixable seed extraction vulnerability.

It also isn't airgapped and still needs connected to the computer with a USB cable, and it also seems like you still have to enter any passphrase on the computer and not on the device itself, which remains a large security risk.

So all in all, this just looks like a rebranded Trezor One. Pretty disappointing to be honest, and still far behind some other hardware wallets on the market.


See the quote above, especially on their latest Trezor 3.
Be like many people still dey use Trezor
I dey barely see who dey use the others and I nor even know how their prices be.
