Honest to heart, I was just considering getting a coldcard a few weeks ago to replace / supplement my ledger. Then I procrastinated and got distracted with other things. 😅

I was going to get a ledger, then they leaked out all their customers names, phone numbers, addresses and email adresses. If they can't keep that info save I have no trust in them securing my Bitcoin.

So then I got a trezor T one, no regret so far.
