It's my LEDGER-NANO-S-PLUS legit?
I am quite new to cryptocurrencies. Sure, years ago I read articles and watch reports about it, but I remain truly ignorant for a very long time. At the beginning of this year, and because of the worsening worldwide financial situation, I finally decided to buy my first coins. There was only one problem - I didn't have any idea where to begin. Therefore I called a friend, and he explained the A, B, and C of the world of digital currencies to me. He gave me a couple of options where I could buy my first coins and well, the rest is history.
I have continued to read everything that I can, and have watched countless tutorials on YouTube and Odysee, but I'm still a neophyte. Yes, I already know how to fend for myself in the Exchanges - well, at least I know how to buy coins. However, something is not clear to me and that is WALLETS. Specifically cold wallets. I know that due to possible hackers it is not recommended to leave our digital currencies for a long time in an Exchange. I don't have much to lose, however, I want to be careful. That is why I am writing this article today. Specifically, I would like to hear your opinions regarding Ledger. Perhaps someone here can share his/her wisdom in the comments section.
I ordered a LEDGER-NANO-S-PLUS directly from Ledger. I am almost sure that it is legitimate. I'll live the link below in case someone can help me to confirm that. And now to my point - when I open it I was surprised and then somewhat doubtful. Everything in the package looked official, but the little box where the Ledger was, was only wrapped in heavy-duty plastic. After removing the plastic I realized there was no authenticity sticker or something like that sealing the box. Maybe I'm paranoid, but should there be a sticker or not? I ask because I know that it is not advisable to store keys in a device unless we are 100% sure that they are legitimate, right? What do you think? Who has experience with Ledger? I would love to hear what you have to say.

You're welcome @acgalarza, that's a pleasure! Have a nice day 😊👍
The link you shared leads to the official site.
I have the basic Nano S and the box is obviously different from that newer model of yours. But I didn't have any stickers there either. If I remember correctly, there was maybe some way to check the authenticity...

The link is official, that's a good start, right?
No stickers? That's also good to know.
Do you know how to check the authenticity?
Thanks for your input, @brando28!

You are taking steps in the right direction and it's good to see you go all-in with this Crypto learning experience.
About those cold wallets, I've heard a lot about it, but I haven't used any at the moment so, I don't think I'm in a good position to give an answer about the authenticity of that. I hope you get a clear feedback from someone.
As for the image you shared, the context of this post shows that those are pictures taken by you but you also need to state under the post that "the image shared are yours". Okay?

Hey @acgalarza, I'm not knowledgeable in this aspect but @belemo would very well be of help. And i just learned something from you. I like how much you have delved in and though it's not much yet, it is the beginning of something hooge!. Hehehehe.
Came in through Dreemport
Good morning @deraaa! And thank you very much for your input! I'll be checking out what he has to say about it.
Amen! I really hope so! 😊

You ordered directly from the company, so it's definitely legit. Back up your seed phrase and secure your nano device
Do you use a Ledger? No need to expect a sticker sealing the box?
Thanks for your response, @belemo!
yeah I use a Ledger Nano S
I don't know why I was expecting one but did yours came sealed with a sticker?
I think so, I can't remember. If you feel like something is wrong, return it to the company
Hi @belemo! I found the answer. Please take a look at this:
Well, I guess the mystery is solved. Thanks, @brando28 for sending me the Link, where found the answer.
Thanks for your help!
Hi everyone! I found the answer:

With your publication I learned something more about the world of cryptocurrencies which for me is complicated. And reading the comments I think they were very useful for you and for other people. Very good interaction. Regards
I'm glad it was useful to you. While I really needed support in regard to the Ledger, my intention was to write about it and through that help other readers that potentially have similar questions. I'm glad some very knowledgeable people wrote comments. Wow, there is so much more to learn about this Cryptocurrency world, right?
Best regards, @popurri!

I have not used an offline noncustodial wallet before, my coins are stored online in none custodial wallet and I hope you can confirm the authenticity before using.
Good morning, @george-dee! Yes, it seems that my Ledger is legit!
Certainly, an online Wallet is a valid option, but I advise you to learn the differences, and advantages vs. disadvantages between wallets. Maybe you already know them and you already made up your mind, and that is good too! I'll probably post more things on that subject.
Have a productive and blessed day!
