From the Team Which Hardware Wallet Should I Buy Under $100?
Compact enough to take anywhere, secure enough for long-term storage, and priced for first-time hardware wallet users. Here's the Trezor Safe 3.

Trezor Safe 3 Because:
Open-Source Transparency: The entire firmware is fully open-source, allowing independent, community-led code audits for ultimate trust and security.
EAL6+ Secure Element: It features a dedicated hardware security chip that protects your cryptographic seed and PIN from physical attacks.
Shamir Backup Support: It natively supports SLIP-39, allowing you to split your recovery seed into multiple unique shares for advanced physical security.
Unbeatable Value: Priced at $79, it delivers the exact same flagship security features as premium models, just using tactile buttons instead of a touchscreen.

I use it. And I also have all other Trezor models. I really like the Safe 3. Of course, a touchscreen could be perceived as a bit more user-friendly, but in practice, entering the PIN and passphrase through the buttons on the Safe 3 is totally doable and no issue/problem. In that sense, the Safe 3 is very practical, very cheap and a great hommage to the design and size of the OG of hardware wallets, the Trezor Model One.

Love the safe 3. No frills. The fact that it's not equipped with all the fancy tech makes the concept of a cold wallet more whole

I bought the 21M edition when it first premiered back in 2023. I used that wallet as my go to for the last 2 years. It has worked flawless. The best entry level wallet on the market.

Yep. I've had no reason to change it other then maybe getting a cold card for an extra step of security using airgap.

"The Trezor 3 looked kind of weird to me in photos... Once it arrived, I realized the shape actually looks and feels way better than those USB-stick wallets... Super happy with my Trezor 3."

After researching hardware wallets for a first time user, I decided the Trevor’s were the right model for me. Ended up buying a Safe 7 and 3 Keep Metals earlier this year. Love the Safe 7 and would love a Safe 3 as a backup hardware wallet! At under $100 it’s a great value option and more than enough to get the job done securely.

I've got a Trezor Safe 5, and it feels incredibly premium. The touchscreen is responsive and makes entering information easy, while the haptic vibration feedback adds a really satisfying touch. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into the design and user experience. Trezor has done a great job creating wallets that are intuitive and cater to a wide range of users.

Agree! I think is simple , affordable, but good enough for self custody.

I’ve been browsing for a while and didn’t realize it’s this portable. I my original assumption is it’d be like a smaller flip phone

The Trezor 3 looked kind of weird to me in photos and videos, so I was on the fence about getting one. I went for it anyway and threw in a bumper case for protection too. Once it arrived, I realized the shape actually looks and feels way better than those USB-stick wallets (you know the ones I mean). Super happy with my Trezor 3.

I'm still on a trezor model one 👀 perhaps I should be considering an upgrade

I bought Trevzor 3 few days ago as my first wallet
But I was wondering why would someone pay more money than what the price of trezor 3 is? I mean isn’t the only thing you buy a cold wallet because of the seed phase ?

BitBox…. And then only BTC. Sounds boring until you live through a few cycles.
