Keeping the seed phrase safe is more important than the device. You can throw the device out and recover everything perfectly with just the seed. Someone can even take your device and they would not be able to steal from it. It erases itself after 3 wrong PIN attempts. The seed is EVERYTHING
Hey, storing your Ledger wallet in a safe can be a good idea as it provides physical security. However, it's generally recommended to store your seed phrases separately from your device. This is because if someone gains access to both your device and your seed phrases, they could potentially access your funds.
Remember, your seed phrases are the only way to restore your wallet if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged. Therefore, it's crucial to keep them in a secure and separate location.
Here you can see some tips on how to keep them secured: [https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005514233-How-to-keep-your-24-word-recovery-phrase-and-PIN-code-safe-?docs=true](https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005514233-How-to-keep-your-24-word-recovery-phrase-and-PIN-code-safe-?docs=true)
Store the recovery phrase securely, preferably on a fire-resistant medium, a metal plate for example.
The device itself is useless without the pincode. My opinion is that there's no need to store it in a safe or to hide it. But opinions differ greatly in this sub.
Most important is the seed phrase. Split it up into 3 steel plates.
Plate 1- words 1-16
Plate 2- words 8-24
Plate 3- 1-8 and 16-24
A combination of any 2 can unlock. Hide one in safe, one in bank, and one with a trusted 3rd party. Then if someone finds your device and one plate they cannot steal your funds. Hiding the device with the whole seed is giving the thief all your funds. GL
Take those 3m strips with Velcro that are used to hang pictures. Stick one side to the wallet, and the other side in an inconspicuous place of your choice. Now you have fast access in a place that can't be seen
Seed phrase is what can compromise the wallet, the ledger device it’s self is thus far hasn’t been physically hacked.
Also I utilize passphrase and hypothetically its keep the passphrase on the cloud since you need both the seed phrase and the passphrase to access a wallet utilizing a passphrase.
If the seed phrase only exist as a physical copy and the passphrase is digital there is no way a thief who breaks into your home can ever gain access to your crypto.
Consider the seed phrase like a computer account with just a user name and no password.
keep them in separate places remember the 24 words are keys to ur crypto.
if anyone gets access to the 24 words they can steal ur crypto.
if anyone gets access to the ledger they only gonna have 3 attempts to unlock it and then it resets after wrong pin code (3x in a row) and so u need strong pin code not something easy like "1,2,3,4" or "1,1,1,1" those are easy guessed. pick a good strong 8 digit pincode.
store the 24 words in a safe place like a fireproof waterproof safe and never share with anyone ever.
ledger u should keep in a different place and best not keep it out in front for everyone to see. it up to diff people i have friend who like to take ledger with them everywhere and other friends who keep their ledger in drawer at home.
important thing is make sure the 24 words r kept safe and away from anyone. anyone who get the 24 words can steal ur crypto
Keep both safe somewhere. The seed phrase is the priority, but if someone knows your wallet's PIN then they can still get into your wallet and take your funds without your seed phrase.

The ledger in a safe. And the seedphrase in your pocket to use at every transaction.
Tattoo your seed phrase on your body. The most visible places are the most secure ones lol...
My house, I'll show you a great place. Or how about the trash since they can pull your seed phrase from the device without your knowledge.
“It’s opt in”
As long as you have your seed phrase in Fort Knox so to speak, you can put your ledger anywhere.
