My First "Cold" Wallet

I’m not a crypto expert, but I have dabbled in a it a little with some extra cash as a side investment. While I don’t know how it will turn out in the long run, one thing that has always kind of bothered me about the online accounts are that if you look in their T&Cs they say that if anything happens to them that you are considered an unsecured creditor.
So basically the crypto is actually theirs and you just play around with it as long as the company is solvent. That never sat well with me and I’ve wanted for a while to have a wallet that once disconnected from a computer is completely detached and secure from hackers and other issues.
This wallet is just the kind of thing I was looking for.
When you open it you’ll notice how concerned they are with security. They have a sticker over the USB plug that will read void as soon as its removed. It seems a little over the top but if you think about it, a good way to steal money is to hack one of these devices and send it on to an unsuspecting victim to load up all their crypto and just transfer it away.
They also make you set up a backup passcode and go over multiple times how it should be written down and not saved on a computer where it can be hacked.
This all goes to a strong feeling of security with the device.
Once its up and running its pretty easy to set up an account and transfer your crypto over. I only have one type and it worked fine, but I can’t really speak to any hiccups with other forms of crypto, but I’m assuming it will work fine with them as well.
I’ve gotten back into the device a few time since I set it up, I don’t really trade or use my crypto much so I didn’t have a need to other than checking on the device. It seems to be working great. The device says its secure and can even go through an X-ray at the airport. I don’t know if I feel that save with it if its got a bunch of value on it, but its good to know someone has tested it.
Overall I’m happy with it and I like that it helps fight the issues that can come up with 100% online exchanges.

I'm pretty new to crypto and I only have a few dollars in crypto but I wanted to be able to protect my minor investment as I plan to grow it into major investments. When I opened the box, I saw that there was protective tape over the connection. In multiple places in the setup, it was made clear to not use if the security tape was removed. It would leave void marks once tape is removed so it's very noticeable if tampered with. I'm pleased with the security features with the Trezor safe 5. It's not a standalone as it has to be plugged into using the USB C cable for power. The security pin is entered on the touchscreen but the numbers change places so that they can't be seen by bystanders. When setting up, it gives 20 random words and then three checks to confirm those words. Those are not to be stored digitally and to be kept somewhere that is safe. Its tutorial is on the touchscreen and provides haptic feedback. That's a nice feature as it confirms each answer. The setup takes only 10-15 minutes. I've not used the mobile app. I've only used it with a PC so I can't speak on how the app behaves. I do like how it supports multiple cryptocurrencies. I hope it won't take long for me to be less of a newbie and more of an old pro with the help of this wallet.

High Quality Hardware Wallet

Hardware wallets in general are an excellent tool to keep your cryptocurrency private keys safe and offline. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone interacting in web3. Trezor has really continued to push the envelope with hardware wallets and the Safe 5 is no exception.
In general this is a very high quality product. It feels sturdy, the touch screen is a great interface to interact with transactions and the Trezor software is some of the best.
THe unboxing is honestly some of the more satisfying pieces of this product. You want every part of your hardware wallet to be secure and Trezor takes that all the way to the box. The Safe 5 even has a tamper seal over the usb port so you know that no one has done anything to the device since it left the factory.
The size and usability of the device are great. It's easy to store away and the larger touch screen is much easier to interact with than older Trezor models.
Overall this is a great hardware wallet that supports all the crypto you could imagine in a shiny easy to use package.

I've been using the Trezor Safe 5 for a week now, and I'm thoroughly impressed. As someone who's dabbled in crypto for a while, I've tried a few different hardware wallets, but this one has really stood out.
First off, the security is top-notch. Trezor has really stepped up with this new wallet. They start by a physical security tape over the USB C port on the wallet to ensure it is not tampered with prior to you receiving it. Next I know my private keys are safe and sound thanks to that Secure Element chip. It's like having a personal vault for my crypto. The wallet is protected with a PIN and passphrase. The 1.54” Gorilla glass 3 color touchscreen is a game-changer too. It's so easy to navigate and makes managing my coins a breeze. Haptic feedback confirms keypresses. If you only want to manage Bitcoin you can choose to set up a Bitcoin only wallet otherwise the Universal wallet can be used to manage most crypto coins.
I love how it supports so many different cryptocurrencies. I've got a bunch of different coins, and the Safe 5 handles them all without a hitch. You can use 12-, 20- & 24-word wallet seed or Shamir backup. The backup feature is also really handy. I've got a few recovery seed fragments stored in different places using Shamir backup, so I'm always covered. Think of Shamir Backup as a puzzle with multiple pieces. Instead of having just one recovery seed (like a single key to your vault), you create several pieces, or "shares." To access your crypto, you need a certain number of these shares, not just any one. If you lose one shared key you will still be able to use the others to restore the wallet. You can decide how many shared keys to create and how many are needed to access the wallet when you set it up. So, with Shamir Backup, your crypto is like a well-guarded treasure chest, requiring multiple keys to unlock. It's a smart way to keep your digital assets safe and sound. If you really want to be extra secure, Trezor even includes a MicroSD slot to allow you to use a MicroSD card to further encrypt your pin, if you set this up you will need to physically insert the MicroSD card when entering your pin to unlock your wallet.
The Trezor Suite is very easy to use. You can track your balances, buy, sell or stake crypto all on the application. You can also use the Tor network to protect your privacy if you want. Transactions are confirmed on your Trezor Safe5.
The Safe5 connects to your computer with a supplied USB C to USB C cable. The wallet is powered by your computer and there is no battery to go dead or leak. Trezor supplies 2 cards to record your passphrase.
Overall, I'm super happy with the Trezor Safe 5. It's reliable, secure, and easy to use. If you're looking for a hardware wallet to protect your crypto, I highly recommend it.

The Trezor - Safe 5 - Passphrase & Secure Element Crypto Hardware Wallet with Touch Screen and Haptic Feedback - Black Graphite provides a new and innovative approach to your crypto-security and physical wallet. This new approach continues to provide the safety and security that is expected in a digital wallet, but in a tangible device that you can touch and secure offline away from hackers and corruption.
I found this hardware device to be a great upgrade to other devices I have used. The physical and digital screen responds to touch and delivers a physical-haptic response to trades, codes, and other inputs. Visibly appealing, this device is easy to read and clear understanding is immediate compared to other tiny screens with questionable readouts.
PROS
- Trezor quality and attention to details
- Easy to read/understand
- Haptic touch responses ensure confirmations of data input
- Small, fits in briefcase, computer bags, or pockets for on the go access to your Crypto
- 100s of coins available with this wallet
CONS
- Only concern is what happens if the touch response fails over time. Will you lose access to assets?

Nice upgrade over my current Hardware wallet

I had looked at several hardware wallets over the years and with there being so many, it's hard to settle on one. Some only support certain tokens while others might support a multitude that they forgo support of more popular ones.
The Trezor appears to avoid this. It supports thousands coins of tokens, stemming from meme coins to ETH, BTC etc. It is a bit bulky but the features it offers more than make up for the size. The Haptic feedback is a welcomed featured. There's also the benefit of having a Color Touchscreen as well.
It's incredibly easy to use and setup. This process took all of maybe 2 minutes to go through including installing their mobile app and registering. Migrating my wallet was also simple enough.
One nice feature of the Safe 5 is you can technically use it as a Cold Wallet as it features an SD card. Meaning you can put your currency on to the SD Card and then insert it into the Trezor and then connect your Safe 5 to a phone or computer that is not connected to the internet and manage the wallet. This is a really nice feature for those that value keeping their Crypto secure. Otherwise the wallet will function a normal "hot" wallet since it would require an Internet connection to receive transactions.
The app is also clean and easy to use/navigate. I'm sure this will be a welcome upgrade of my current one for years to come. If you're looking for a Wallet from well known and established company, the Trezor Safe 5 is literally a Safe bet. Being able to use it as a Cold wallet is certainly a great selling point for those concerned of having their device connected to the internet.

Crypto Hardware Wallets Are The Only Way To Go!

I now have multiple Trezor hardware wallets for my cryptocurrency, which works out well for me because I have multiple people in my will that I am leaving my cryptocurrency to. So that makes it a lot easier for me to give them the hardware wallet, with the seed key/PIN and make sure that they each get exactly what it is I want them to get with regards to cryptocurrency.
This Trezor Safe 5 is a little bit of a step up with regards to my other 2 Trezor cryptocurrency hardware wallets due to it having haptic feedback, but the screen is still rather small and so punching things in can be a little bit of a chore if you have bigger fingers; luckily I am only 5'4" and 120-ish pounds and so my body, including my hands and fingers, are on the smaller side; but even for me it was a little iffy. However, I got it set up without really any issues. Especially since I had used and setup my two other Trezor hardware wallets.
The hardware itself feels sturdy, but lightweight; it feels premium without any extra bulk; it felt sleek without being slippery. It really just feels perfect from the weight, to the finish.
I believe that you truly cannot go wrong with a Trezor hardware wallet. It is insanely better than on an exchange where they could go belly up at any time (*cough* FT...uh-hum...*cough* nevermind).
