There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The device arrived in shrink-wrapped packaging. There was no sketchy scratch-off card with my recovery passphrase written on it, which would have been an immediate red flag based on recent news stories involving theft from compromised Ledger wallets. The wallet itself did have a bit of "foggy" residue on the metal cover, which other reviewers have pointed out. This wiped off easily. I figure it was machine grease or some artifact of the manufacturing process. I verified that the device hadn't been pried open to tamper with the electronics inside. I also let the device generate my recovery phrase (*never* use any recovery phrase that is not generated by the device itself), then I intentionally erased the wallet and restored it using the phrase I had written down. Absolutely no issue.
The peace of mind that this wallet brings is invaluable. It's far more user friendly than using paper wallets. With all the news about Tether threatening the solvency of major cryptocurrency exchanges, there was no chance I was going to keep my funds anywhere where I did not control my private keys. I previously had funds stored in software wallets on my home PC, but the fact that it was connected to the internet at all was a liability, and managing multiple wallets (each of which, in many cases, stored a copy of the entire blockchain locally) was cumbersome and space-intensive. Not to mention the chance of hard disk failure on the 5-year-old machine.
Using the wallet is more user friendly than I expected it to be. The interfaces of the various wallets are simple and the applications themselves are less clunky than many of their software-based brethren. The Ledger supports all but one of the cryptocurrencies that I hold, and it feels great knowing that my funds are locked down offline but still easily accessible if I need to send some coins somewhere.
My only gripe is that the wallet can only hold five apps at a time. I understand that this is for security reasons (less space available on the device to store and run potentially malicious code). It's only a minor inconvenience, however, because it is quick and easy to uninstall/reinstall various apps (your funds do NOT disappear, contrary to a common misconception), and you rarely have to switch apps anyway unless you're frequently day trading.
I'd recommend the Ledger Nano S to anyone whose cryptocurrency holdings exceed 10x the value of the device. It's a worthy investment.
As such, I received the device sealed in plastic and opened it to find it in pristine condition without any signs of wear or prior use. There is a way to verify whether the device is legit or not on LedgerWallet's website, but since LedgerWallet had linked this seller on their site, I trust they're reputable. The one thing I find to be frustrating about this device is how hard it is to get clear and concise directions on how to use or troubleshoot it. Most products come with instructions, yet this device did not. Still, for what is paid for it and what it has to offer in way of protection, it's a no brainer. I'll continue to play with it some more and get a good feel for the apps used within it before transferring over my cryptocurrencies.
Another thing I'll mention because it took me a LOOOOONG time to figure out is that when you're running an app and have a wallet open, the ledger wallet will not allow you to open an additional wallet while running a different one. It seems you can have but one wallet open at a time. I kept trying to open bitcoin and also ethereum and neither would work. I was beginning to think the device was faulty, but I eventually figured out that I had the ripple wallet opened in the background. Once i closed it, bitcoin opened without issues. After that, I was able to get Ethereum to work as well, but neither would while the ripple app was open. Hopefully that info will save some out there some time, as I looked everywhere trying to figure out what I was doing wrong and couldn't get a straight answer.
Lastly, and this is a little frustrating as well, there seems to only be room on it for about 4 apps, so if you hold coins in multiple supported apps, just keep in mind that you won't be able to have all of them on the one device. You can still use all the different apps, but my understanding is you'd have to delete some and load others on, and then delete those and re-add the others later to move back and forth. I don't know if doing so would cause you to lose your coins or not, as I know some people have more than one of these devices. I'm not there yet, but I might order another one later if I start diversifying my crypto coins. For now, 4 apps is plenty for me. Hope this review proves helpful to some of you, who like me, are fairly new to all of this.
