I've seen loads of women using those galaxy notes as well. Probably it's easier for them to carry in the purses.

Interesting a lot of woman college students I see just carry their plus in their hands. Yea lots of women I see use the big Android phones.

Also in my loose gym clothes I definitely can't jump up and down with the plus in my pocket and do not feel comfortable with something that big strapped to my arm. It's distracting and throws me off for sure.

My lifestyle likes the portability of the 7 way better. When I'm out and about and at the gym, what do I need my device for? I need it to text and access stuff on the go like emails, sending and receiving documents. I'll use my 7 for social media stuff like Facebook and Instagram when on the go. At the gym I'll listen to music.

If I want to watch a movie at work if I'm in my work truck or am lounging around and have some down time, I take out my iPad. Even if I didn't have an iPad watching movies or YouTube is decent now with the stereo speakers. I don't play games hardly anyway.

Maybe if I was in the market for a man purse...I would go for the plus.

I see way more women / girls with plus than men in my area especially where I work, at a world renown university.

Are you sure it is not just because women use them more in public, or that you just "notice" women more in general. This is funny statement to me, I am going to assume you don't work in any math or science related fields at your "world renown university" :D

Or in the grammar/spelling departments.
 
I normally carry my 6 in my back jeans pocket. When at work I wear cargo pants and keep the 6 in the cargo pocket. Since having the plus I don't usually carry it in the cargo pocket and keep it in my work vehicle because if I'm lifting something it sticks out too much. The guy I work with said why don't I try a holster. That could work if I wore belts.

How are others carrying their plus's?

I've had the Plus sizes since they were first introduced. I carry my phone in my front left pocket. I'm 5'10", athletic/muscular, but I prefer not to wear tight pants just because I don't like them. I've never carried a phone in my rear pocket -- the thought of sitting on my iPhone has never been appealing.

On rare occasion, I'll have to shift the top of the iPhone to the 'outside' edge of the pocket when I'm bending over (eg. while sitting to tie my shoes), to make things more comfy and to prevent possible damage to the phone, but other than that it works fine in that pocket.

I'm the same height as you athletic built and slim 160 lbs. My jeans aren't tight but are slim(not slim jeans). Like I said I wear them tight enough around the waist so I don't have to wear a belt. My jeans fit at the waist and looking at a lot of jeans that people wear the 501 pockets sit up higher.
 
Just got an iPhone 7+ coming from a 6. Reasons I wanted a plus is because of the camera and larger screen. I sell on eBay and wanted a better camera. I also like to watch a lot of videos.

I'm 5'10" 165lbs slim athletic build. Man the plus is big. I wear my Levi 501's sort of tight and used to putting my iPhone in my back pocket. When I bend down it's very uncomfortable. Tried the front pocket and it's just as uncomfortable. The camera is EXCELLENT with a capitol E. My eBay listing look way better than with my 6 like night and day. I also don't like that I can't use the plus with one hand comfortably. I have to maneuver my hand too much.

Have 7 days left to decide if I'm going to return it. Want to like it but the portability part and hand usage is turning me off. However the camera and large screen to watch videos and movies is simply incredible.

Anyone else been in this situation.

I don't want to give up my iPhone 7+. I just got used to it. Badass technology is worth it

I work all over the university including the Egineering department. From my observations more women college students have the plus vs male college students where I work. On campus there are AT&T and VZW corporate stores. I'm with AT&T and the reps say most of the their iPhone sales are non plus.
