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?

    Phone in right front pocket, screen facing my thigh, camera side down. When I pull it out, the phone wakes and I put my fingerprint in.

    Left pocket. Right pocket has my wallet since before I had a phone. I’m right handed but if using phone one handed, will use my left.

      Same, except I’ll clip my keys onto my belt loop like a janitor lol. Keeping them in my pocket with my wallet gets too bulky and they feel safer clipped in.

      I do the same, but years ago I used to do phone in right and keys in left. Then I realized I always needed my keys in my right hand to start my car, so I switched to phone in left and keys in right.

      But now I just realized that I’ve had a keyless ignition for several years now and don’t have any reason to keep it this way. I feel like I’m living a lie. Oh God, what am I doing with my life??

    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.

    Left pocket. I use my right hand for most things but… answering the phone or checking a message i can do with the left.

    This leaves my right hand open to do whatevet. Like pointing, at ugly people.

    Keyring, wallet, and earbuds go in the right pocket

    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.

    Left pocket- I have pretty bad carpal tunnel in my right hand so putting it in my left lessens some strain.

    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?

          Nah unless he’s a law official or lives in a dangerous area, he’s mostly likely some right wing nut who feels like he needs a gun because he’s phobic of everything. He can prove me wrong but hasn’t responded at all. Also he doesn’t know what they mean with left and right pocket? Big sign he’s some kind dumb redneck.

    Left breast pocket.

    If for whatever reason I am wearing a shirt without pockets, left front pocket of pants.

    Right front is ONLY for my phone. Nothing else. Trash goes to my right back pocket when there is no bin around and everything else is in my backpack since I do not own (and actually not even want) a car.

      Agreed on front right solely for phone. Front left is wallet and keys. Back left is the trash pocket. Back right is the utility pocket. Water bottle at a concert, garden gloves if I need to take them off for a bit, various hardware bits and bobs during house repair.

    Right-handed, right pocket. I’m surprised to see so many people saying they use their off hand to hold their phone.
