Despite being right handed, it feels more comfortable to place my phone in my left front pocket. Maybe because having a wallet in my right pocket predates using mobile phones. What feels most natural for you?

Wallet right cargo, phone left front, keys/knife right front, ID left rear. Used to be on my belt to the right at 3 o’clock but that’s where my magazines go now.

Very interesting reading all the responses, as I am a rear pocket person. Hate the feeling of having things against my thighs when I move.

Though having it in my back pockets does mean I take them out everytime I sit down.

Right handed: phone goes in left pocket, screen usually facing thigh unless it’s hot outside and I don’t want the screen to fog (it gets really humid here in the summer), and the camera down. The reason for this is that I use my phone two handed, mostly because I hate swipe typing and I like having my keys in my right pocket so I can easily use them right handed. I also have my fingerprint reader set up for either hand.

Right handed.

I have my phone in the front right pocket of my jeans, with some microfibre cloth in the litle watch pouch for my glasses and screens, while my wallet, business cards, keys and mints live on the left front side.

Front right pocket for phone, front left pocket for keys, back right pocket for wallet if in uncrowded area, front left.

If it's crowded in winter, it all changes. I have a Columbia jacket with zipper pockets on the side and one chest pocket. Phone and keys stay on their corresponding sides (or even still in the pants because the jacket covers my pockets and who wants to steal a six year old cracked LG?), while wallet goes into the chest pocket.

[-] AEsheron@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Front left is keys. Front right has my boxcutter. Left cargo pocket is phone. Right cargo is for glasses case for shades or umbrella. Rear left pocket, at work or when I'm doing a project has box gloves. Rear right is wallet. My jacket has one cheap leather glove in each front pocket for weather/driving in the cold.

During jacket season, right jacket pocket or left inside pocket if there is one. Outside of jacket season, back right because from pockets in women's jeans are tiny. Purse if I don't have pockets.

[-] popemichael@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Left for my wallet (which is chained to me) and right for my phone (which is clipped to me)

Though I will occasionally put my phone into my fanny pack. I have to carry one around that to severe diabetes, so I may as well make usage of it if I have a lot to carry.

[-] ChrisFhey@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Front right pocket here. Left is reserved for my wallet and handkerchief.

[-] StarChip@kbin.cafe 2 points 1 year ago

Right front pocket

[-] blendin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lefty here, I usually stick it in my right front pocket

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Right handed; slim front pocket wallet and phone in the right picket, keys in the left. I keep my phone in the opposite pocket as my keys to avoid scratches, and those were in the left so phone went right.

[-] elbrar@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

I've basically always used the same pocket as my keys and I've never had problems with scratches. Admittedly, I have my phone in my pocket a lot less these days than I did several years ago, but that's still almost a decade of experience...

[-] biddy@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Right pocket because I use my right hand.

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Bra strap. Most of my clothes dont have pockets that hold it.

[-] SafetyGoggles@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Nice try, the pickpocket that I will walk pass tomorrow.

My phone is in my front right pocket because I can take my phone out and use it with just one hand. Wallet and keys in the front left.

[-] Vaggumon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Same here, Left front, or sometimes shirt pocket if I have one.

[-] ed2417@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Left front. Top down to keep lint out of the charge port. Glass inward to (supposedly) reduce RF.

[-] Gork@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Also front left for phone and front right for wallet and keys.

For the phone in left pocket though, only the phone is placed in it to prevent it from getting scratched (even with a screen protector it's annoying), so nothing else goes in there.

Learned that the hard way.

[-] NewWorldOverHere@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I hold it under my non-dominant armpit when wearing pants with no pockets.

[-] LanternEverywhere@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Non-dominant hand holds your phone, so that's the pocket side where your phone should live.

EDIT:

A few people seem to be confused because apparently they use their phone one handed right from the start when it comes out of their pocket. With the size of phones these days i would guess that most people aren't using their phones one handed that way.

Personally I'll use my phone one handed if I'm stationary and after it's fully out of my pocket and securely in my hands, but if I'm moving around it would be drop-city if I just pulled it out of my pocket one handed and started tapping on it.

Right handed, so right pocket, spun round so the screen faces outward, wallet and keys in the left, or keys on a lanyard thing clipped to me depending on if they're my car keys or work keys that actually go into a door

Picked that habbit up during the "put the lock button on the back" craze and would have constant issues of it vibrating in my pocket from the lock screen button being tapped and my leg barely managing to tap numbers randomly through my pocket

I keep my phone in my front pocket, while my gun goes in my rear pocket. What do you mean by left and right pockets?

[-] dignin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Right handed, left front pocket, this is the way.

[-] IthronMorn@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Right front pocket, upside down, screen facing inward. My vape goes in back right pocket. All my other pockets are empty.

Usually left from pocket. Or back left pocket. I like left. It's opposite from my "main" hand.

[-] klemptor@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Back left pocket, with my wallet in my back right and its chain attached to my belt loop above my front right pocket. Front right pocket contains a chapstick. Front left is nearly always empty because lady pants front pockets are practically useless.

[-] Nolando 2 points 1 year ago

I put my phone in either of my back packets when wearing pants with for pockets. Never front pockets.

I hope to see someone take all of these answers and create sweet graphs with it.

[-] tiredofsametab@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Phone in front-left, wallet and a hand towel (Tokyo summers are a sweaty, brutal mess) in right-front. Keys clipped somewhere to my belt loop. back pockets usually empty.

[-] justanotherjo@kbin.cafe 2 points 1 year ago

It depends on what I'm wearing, whether it has front or back pockets, which hand was holding it last, what I am doing at the time, and whether or not I want to put it in my purse instead.

[-] yunggwailo@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As a bisexual i mean ambidextrous person I keep it in my left front pocket or right back pocket
