Since you are recommending hardware wallets you may as well add this one since it is the most secure option out there.

My connection with the hardware

I have no kind of connection with the hardware.

This doesn't seem particularly more secure than Trezor or Ledger's solutions, but it comes at a significantly higher cost.

It is much more secure in terms of the durability and the quality of the material. This is not a wallet to store $20 on BTC, this is the equivalent to a safe box in terms of crypto wallets. I really don't know how much vulnerabilities can be added when any type of signal is introduced.
