I’m right handed, but I keep my phone in my left pocket since I like to be able to pull out my phone to check the map or msgs while using my primary hand for another activity.
When texting, I usually use both hands but certainly can type with just my left hand.
Where do you keep your phone & why?
Usually left back or side pocket, or in my hand, or under one leg/between my legs if I’m sitting.
Left-handed, left pocket. Just habit I guess. Right side is always keys and headphones.
For temporary stowaways around the house (especially when cooking) it can go in either of the back pockets, depending on which hand I’m holding it with.
Am I the only one that quite often leaves it at home?
Nice try pickpocketed!
Right handed, left pocket.
When I was deciding what went where, I drove a car with actual locks and cell phones were really only for calls, you didn’t spend all day looking at it. So my keys spent more time in my hands than my phone did.
Now it’s a habit and I can’t change it.
Samesies. My keys always went in my right pocket so when cellphones came along that went to the left front pocket to protect it from my keys.
Nice try, pickpocket on the metro
Hahaha… Thats a funny joke… 👀
Right handed, left pocket.
For me it was always clear to have my wallet in my right pocket and my phone in the left one. I never questioned this until now…
Same to me lol
I didn’t mention this in the post ~ but I keep both my phone & wallet in my left pocket (I have a slim wallet though).
The right pocket is for keychain, pocket knife, loose coins, etc. Generally “unsorted” things.
That’s my setup too! Phone and modern carry card case in the front left, keys in the front right.
Phone right front. Wallet right back.
Keys left front. You can’t keep a phone and keys in the same pocket. Especially not with the size of modern phones.
Consistency means I always know if I’ve forgotten my phone keys/wallet. There’s never searching or wondering where they’ve gone.
My parents taught me to never keep my wallet in my back pocket due to the risk of causing back problems.
I used to keep mine in my back pocket, then I noticed that my leg would go numb during long drives. Kinda put two and two together and started keeping it in the front pocket.
Well, lookee here at Mr. Moneybags who actually has enough bills for that to be a concern! \s
I use a very thin bifold wallet like this (stock photo; not my ID):
Mine is currently 13.6 mm thick, folded with all my cards and stuff in it. (I happen to have a set of Vernier calipers sitting on my desk in front of me so I went ahead and measured, LOL.)
I use a really thin non-folding wallet. Sometimes it’s in the back and sometimes I put it in the front pocket for more security.
I’ve seen some of the 4 inch thick wallets that people sit on. No idea how or why.
Spot on. This is EXACTLY my answer. Same logic behind it and everything.
Back left pocket
Pocket? I keep everything in a cross body bag.
This is the way. I’ve used a purse for years and it is so much better.
Hmm, what size bag do you use?
Big enough to hold my personal phone, work phone, 9" tablet, wallet, passport, my medical gear, and my concealed carry handgun. ;) Decent sized!
I have the same bag in a slightly larger size if I want to pack my Steam Deck. LOL.
it’s called a fanny pack no matter how you wear it
No apologies! :)
Right handed, right pocket 95% of the time. Occasionally I catch myself using the left pocket if for whatever reason storing it in the right requires an awkward movement.
I use whichever pocket is handy, and I can be seen checking all my pockets every 45 seconds to remind me which pocket my phone is in, lest I need it.
Rinse and repeat.The “white man’s haka” in my country
No preferred pocket for anything. I put my phone in any pocket is easily reached with the hand is holding the phone at that moment.
Sometimes is the front pocket, sometimes is the back pocket, the pocket of the hoodie, inner pocket of the jacket, a bag, breast pocket of a shirt if it is big enough.
Anarchy!
Car keys in right pocket. Phone in left. I think it’s because cell phones weren’t very common when I started driving, haha. So my keys beat my phone to the right pocket by about 2 years or so.
