Excellent choice! Everybody who has more than $500 worth of crypto today should probably get one of these.

Be sure to write down the pass phrase on multiple places and store them safely.
Also, after writing down the passphrase, check the (Bitcoin or other) address and copy paste it somewhere, and then IMMEDIATELY wipe the device clean be entering the wrong pincode three times. It will reset the device. Now, use your passphrase which you wrote down to try and restore the item. After you restore it, check if it's the same address as the one you copy pasted. If it is, congrats, you have just verified that your back-up indeed works and that you haven't written anything down wrong. Now you truly have a secure passphrase that has never touched a pc and is safe. Store one copy at a familymember in case of burglary or fire (depending on trust, include instructions in the sad case you may come to pass, so they can access it)

Good luck!
