There is no dedicated and fully supported hardware wallet for Ethereum.
There have been three announcements made so far:
- Troth by Digix
- A hardware wallet by Jaxx.io by end of 2016
- Ledger Blue to be shipped later the year (an announcement about a demo Ethereum app BOLOS - the operating system it runs)
It isn't trivial, but not that complicated to include native support in Trezor compared to creating a wallet from scratch.
Meanwhile you can use a solution like Quroum Wallet together with Trezor. See the announcement on Reddit and this blog post explaining how it works.

- Digital Bitbox
- KeepKey (now out of beta)

Downvoted. This only lists 1 of 4 available wallets and the pricing info is no longer accurate. Commented Jun 11, 2017 at 14:31

Trezor is a popular hardware wallet that supports Bitcoin and other alt coins
Troth is on the way
Troth is an Ethereum hardware vault for safely storing your Ether and Ethereum based tokens. We are looking at the end of March / Early April for the first working prototype. Troth is a Raspberry PI within, complete with a Touchscreen and 5mb camera in a custom encasement, prop firmware (that will be security audited), zero internet connectivity providing a true offline wallet storage solution.

I don't believe Trezor supports Ethereum yet. They added "firmware update that brings in Ethereum support once specific wallets implement the necessary components to further their compatibility" per [ethnews.com/trezor-adds-ethereum-support](this article). Coming soon with no apparent ETA for their own web wallet to support it. What other altcoins does trezor support? I'm only aware of bitcoin.– mowlivCommented Jan 3, 2017 at 16:54

Downvoted. This answer is way out of date and links to a broken medium article. There are good hardware options now, please see my answer below. Commented Jun 11, 2017 at 14:33

@JonathanCross too silly that you down voted and posted link to your answer.
community wikiis something you can edit and add your point. Spend some here and see how this website works. Good luck pal.– niksmacCommented Jun 11, 2017 at 15:21 -
1@niksmac Thanks for the feedback. When editing an answer, the criteria indicates that this is only for minor corrections and should not change the meaning. Since your answer is mostly about Troth, an "edit" did not seem appropriate. I went ahead and updated this answer as it was substantially similar to mine. Commented Jun 11, 2017 at 15:36

Jonathan Cross, you are right, but the article is still valuable. Commented Jun 13, 2017 at 10:52
There are a many hardware wallets available for Ethereum as shown here at the Hardware Wallet comparison with the little icons. For example the ledger nano s.
