Trezor, one of the safest ways to store your coins

Trezor hardware Wallet is an added layer of security to keep your private keys and thus your coins safe and secure. If you store your private key on your computer there is malware, keyloggers and such that could gain access to your keys.

Also fake websites who are phishing for your Crypto have the chance of getting them. On the Trezor your private keys are hidden and you can only access the coins with a pin and your Trezor plugged into your computer. This way it is SUPER secure, and if you were to break your Trezor all you need is the 24 word seed word to get another Trezor back up and running.

Trezor works with MyEtherWallet so you can also store your key and access your ERC20 coins. This is very useful as MEW has quite a list of coins.
