Which Pocket? (and do you have horror stories)

[Interstella5555]

I usually carry my phone in my purse but with the iPhone I need it to be more accessible. But I'm scared about which pocket to use because front pockets sometimes have coins or keys and back pockets may result in a pickpocket or accidentally sitting on it (I'm >100lb) .

So im curious what people do and if there are any horror stories about carrying it the "wrong way".

Don't carry it in a pocket with keys or change? Am I missing something here?

Front right pocket, phone in there by itself.

Question for you back pocketers: Why the back pocket? What about when sitting on something made of hard material such as a bench at a bus stop, a brick wall low enough to sit on, or a concrete bench?

Same question for wallets in your back pocket, it makes your butt uneven when sitting, how does one stand that?

1) I don't enjoy my huevos fried
2) I remove it from my pocket when I sit. I'm usually using it anyway.

This. I'm not sure how hard it is to take something out of your pocket before you sit down, but that's the way I do it as well.

One of the 4 thigh pockets on my work pants, just not the one I have gloves in at the time.

I've carried my phones in my front pocket for years now and haven't had an issue there...

So you've had several kids during this time?

Front left pocket. It is the only thing in the pocket. Ever. Seriously, I get OCD about what is in which pocket.

Same here although I also keep my cleaning cloth in that pocket. Nothing else ever gets kept in there when my phone is in there, especially not keys, money or anything else similar.

Right front pocket or left back pocket.

No horror stories for me.

Question: Do those of you who put the phone in your left pocket, hold the phone with your left hand? I am interested to see the reason for people putting it in their left pocket.

I think most girl's or dudes in hipster skinny jeans only option is the back pocket or their purse cuz the front pockets on women's or hipster's pants are like 2" deep...just enough for a lipstick or something

I carry mine in my front right pocket alone, screen in and in an otterbox case. wife is pregnant so problems with fertility etc.

Never thought about that... I put my iPhone in my left front pocket, and hold the iPhone with my left hand when making calls. And I'm right-handed. I guess I like having my right hand available.
