Where to store iPhone during school?

[GoCubsGo]

If your school will punish you for having it then leave it at home. It's not a stupid policy, it's a policy formed around kids like you who think browsing MR while in any class is a good idea.
You'll have plenty of time to waste on MR when you get out of school.

I am getting an iPhone soon, the fund is almost complete Now my major dilema is not just what color to get, its where to store my phone during the day. If I keep it in my locker and the lock breaks or I don't shut it all the way, it will be stolen.

If i keep it in my pocket and my school catches me, they will keep it until one of my parents shows up to get it with me. I know the stupidest policy......, also if it falls out and cracks or gets stolen, I am screwed. I have no idea what to do? This will be my first true good cell phone. I am upgrading from this

Keep it at home while at school, that's what I do.

Oh, and IMO you should get the white one, I do and now the black one looks like a toy when I see it

How has no one said "in yer butt?"
I'm dissapointed you guys.

OP, in seriousness, I carry my iPhone in my front pocket of my khakis all day long at work and I dont have my phone fall out, and I dont even have a case on it. I think that is your best bet. I wouldnt leave it in a locker. It only takes one person of questionable morality to see you put the phone away. He tells others you have it and before you know it you come to locker to find your phone missing.

Airplane mode, passcode verfication, and silent switch will go far during the day. Oh, and dont put it in the pocket with other things such as coins or keys.

Best advice in this thread so far.

what about you use both?
use the crappy one at school, and the iphone everywhere else. It can't be that hard to swap the sim can it?

I agree completely with that reasoning and agree it is not a stupid policy.

I am waiting for the classic lame excuse from these people arguing why it is not a stupid policy.

Do you drive your own car to school? Then just leave it in the glovebox where no one can see it

I keep my iPhone in my pockets at school. I wear khakis too, and it has never slid out. Just keep it in your pocket, and keep it on vibrate.

At my school, the rule is that all cell phones must be kept in lockers and not in pockets, purses, ect. What I would do is put your iPhone in a large baggy bag with bubble wrap and stuff surrounding it so the bag is disguised to be something like extra pencils and stuff. Then put a shelf in your locker that is about 1.5 inches tall (use on of the expandable ones, they really work) and put the bag flush under it.

You said that it any other students saw that you have an iPhone in your locker, they would attempt to steal it. Before you leave your house put your iPhone in the bag and set it atop some books or something or just carry is like a folder or something as to not direct attention to it. Put the bag in its place and go off to class. Then when it is time to leave go to the bathroom with the bag (to hide that you have a phone in it), take your phone out and put it into your pocket and carry the bag home with you.

Yes, lots of extra trouble to do, but if I was really worried about my phone that is what I would do.

I attached a picture of a diagram if it is confusing.

Pocket and on silent, if your paranoid about it falling out then get some Velcro sewn onto the pocket so it cant fall out and teachers can't go sticking there hands in there to look...................

Jesuit? Mandatory uniforms? No girls? No backpacks allowed? Afraid of locker theft?

I think the problem isn't where to put your ipod...

 

[caligurl]

pocket and OFF! no need to have it on silent or on airplane mode or whatever..... if it does happen to fall out of your pocket... it will look a heck of a lot better to a teacher that is around if the phone is OFF rather than on... which will make you look like you are trying to get over on them....

If you don't drive by yourself to school then don't bring it. If you do drive leave it in the car
