Once again, I prefer to have the separate specialized  gears  like wallet, security key , encrypted storage, etc. that have advanced features. rather then a single highly priced crypto-combine were some parts  may be short-tailed. Such setup gives me more flexibility  in security and heritage  schemes as applied to my stash. For instance, using this technique  I have openly spread  my SEED phrases over the whole word keeping them at my relatives and friends. How could I do it with the use of crypto combine other that to spend the fortune to buy dozens of its instances?
How about using a Passport Prime for everyday usage (small amount of BTC, 2FA codes, and e.g. encrypted files that you need on the go) and a Passport stored in a safe place for bigger sums?

 Hmm, Passport Prime for everyday  routine  ... in no circumstances. To that end  I  utilize   cost effective and more useful gears like the bank-card-size Tangem wallet to keep small sum of various coins (BTC including) to top up my crypto cards when needed , Yubikey 5 to authorize myself on various sites.

 Regarding  encrypted storage, I can not even imagine that "on-the-go-angle" which would force me to get  to my encrypted data  SEEDs, database for password manager,  file which keeps my pgp  keys (both parts, private and public), BTW private part is also kept by one of the slots of Yubikey 5, which I may use to decrypt  stuff on-the-go . Nevertheless I would appreciate  if Foundation develop  the dedicated, toch-screen equipped,  airgaped  device run by their  new OS and independent on computer  KeyOS with the sole purpose to keep encrypted data  and with the size less than  Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy  External SSD which, firstly,   is a bit bulky and what is more important requires connection to computer . I have small size Kingston IronKey Vault Privacy 50  USB gear but to  be functional t has to be connected to computer, the action which is supposed to be not performed on the go.
