What is something that gives Bitbox an upper edge over other HWW products?
I assume that all reputable HWW (e.g., long trackk record, have a screen, fully interoperable for recovery) are secure and better choice than relying on a third party.
What we at BitBox heavily focus on is ease-of-use. I don't think that security has to be complicated, on the contrary: simplicity is part of security, as it helps avoid human errors.
The BitBox is the simples hardware wallet that "just works" with all devices (now also on iPhone/iPads) that you can give to friends and family. We build products for the next million newcomers to the space, while still making sure essential expert functions (full node support, Tor connectivity, 3rd-party wallet integrations, coin control) are available for those that need them.

In addition, a lot of people also like how discrete it is, i.e. "stealth by design" to avoid unnecessary attention. There are no labels except a small graphical logo and no visible buttons or screen (until you plug it in) such that it looks like a simple flash drive.
Fully open-source and Swiss-made are other important factors.
