I'm trying this one again. It's hard to get used to switching something you're so used to
 
Right handed and keep in front left pocket. Always been like that because for every phone I've owned I mostly use my left to operate it and for holding my phone up to my ear. I think I have better hearing in my left ear lol. Feels more natural for me to operate despite being right handed. Even works better for me with the iPhone so that I can presses the volume buttons/mute switch with my thumb.
 
Left handed - right pocket. Feels weird if I have it in my left pocket. I use my right ear for talking and stuff so everything is on the right for me.

However, I mostly use my shirt pocket. So left breast. I will put it in my jeans pocket if I want to protect it from falling out or if I am carrying something on my shoulders.
 
You guys wanna get with the times. I don't leave my house without my gadget holster.

I am right-handed, but for some reason do a lot things left handed (eat, drink, hold things) and generally am more comfortable with things on my left side. I keep my phone in my left front pocket since it's the hand I hold it in predominately.
 
I'm in the minority- front right pocket, left handed.

But when I'm wearing dress pants, it's rear right. And when I'm wearing scrubs, it's where ever I have pockets on the right.

I hold the phone while talking usually left handed, but it depends on what I'm doing.
 
right handed, front left pocket.
only cause i can't take my right hand off the throttle on my gxr to answer a call like a bauce
 
Right-handed, and I usually will put it in my right back pocket, not the front. However if I'm talking on the phone, I'll normally hold it with my left.
 
I'm right handed but keep it in my left pocket and hold the phone with my left hand - purely because I'm deaf in my right ear. I have no choice :(
 
Just switched to left pocket. Experienced several scenarios where I needed my right hand while on the phone (jolting down notes, mouse, etc) so I think it is advantageous to have it in my left pocket. Just need to get used to it. And work on my left hand's coordination
 
Right handed. iPhone is always in my right front pocket with the screen facing my body and the bottom of the phone up. This is so the screen is more protected, and bottom up makes it easier to start using it once I grab it. The only time it is right side up is when listening to music.

Wallet, keys, and headphones are all in my left pocket
 
Physiological fact:

Most right-handed people operate their phones with the left hand (when holding with one hand). It's more natural, more comfortable.
 
Depends what I'm wearing.

When I go to class with what I'm usually wearing my trouser pockets are too 'loose' to put a phone in so I put my phone on the inside left pocket of my jacket.

Besides that if I'm wearing some trousers that are 'tighter' it'll go in my right trousers pocket.

Overall though I'll just say left pocket right hand. Much safer me keeping it in an inside pocket too.

I'm sure it is. Do you happen to have a link to where you read that? I'd find that a very interesting read.
 
Right handed - Left front pocket. Like several others I have said I keep things like money or keys in my right pocket.
 
Do most of you who are right handed but use the left pocket hold your phone in your left hand and use your right index finger to navigate?
