I’m right handed, but I keep my phone in my left pocket since I like to be able to pull out my phone to check the map or msgs while using my primary hand for another activity.
When texting, I usually use both hands but certainly can type with just my left hand.
Where do you keep your phone & why?
For me it was always clear to have my wallet in my right pocket and my phone in the left one. I never questioned this until now…
I didn’t mention this in the post ~ but I keep both my phone & wallet in my left pocket (I have a slim wallet though).
The right pocket is for keychain, pocket knife, loose coins, etc. Generally “unsorted” things.
Nice try pickpocketer!
haha, thieves noting where they put their wallets 😂
Left, because my keys are in my right pocket and I don’t want to scratch the phone
Same. Left pocket is phone, and phone alone.
Right pocket is everything else.
Right handed, left pocket.
Between my butt cheeks as it helps me stay fit by clenching my butt all day.
Also, in my roght pocket as I’m right handed and use my phone a lot.
Your prison pocket

Phone right front. Wallet right back.
Keys left front. You can’t keep a phone and keys in the same pocket. Especially not with the size of modern phones.
Consistency means I always know if I’ve forgotten my phone keys/wallet. There’s never searching or wondering where they’ve gone.
My parents taught me to never keep my wallet in my back pocket due to the risk of causing back problems.
I use a really thin non-folding wallet. Sometimes it’s in the back and sometimes I put it in the front pocket for more security.
I’ve seen some of the 4 inch thick wallets that people sit on. No idea how or why.
I used to keep mine in my back pocket, then I noticed that my leg would go numb during long drives. Kinda put two and two together and started keeping it in the front pocket.
Your parents did right. Nobody wants the old Costanza wallet syndrome https://youtu.be/9sz2HDRJkUQ
Well, lookee here at Mr. Moneybags who actually has enough bills for that to be a concern! \s
I use a very thin bifold wallet like this (stock photo; not my ID):
Mine is currently 13.6 mm thick, folded with all my cards and stuff in it. (I happen to have a set of Vernier calipers sitting on my desk in front of me so I went ahead and measured, LOL.)
Spot on. This is EXACTLY my answer. Same logic behind it and everything.
Car keys in right pocket. Phone in left. I think it’s because cell phones weren’t very common when I started driving, haha. So my keys beat my phone to the right pocket by about 2 years or so.
Yeah I got my first phone around the time I started driving, and then it really only had enough minutes for emergencies or letting my parents know where I’d be. Also I start the car with my right hand so left pocket seems silly.
Pocket? I keep everything in a cross body bag.
Hmm, what size bag do you use?
Big enough to hold my personal phone, work phone, 9" tablet, wallet, passport, my medical gear, and my concealed carry handgun. ;) Decent sized!
I have the same bag in a slightly larger size if I want to pack my Steam Deck. LOL.
This is the way. I’ve used a purse for years and it is so much better.
Right handed, phone front left, keys front right, wallet back right. It’s a perfect system. Not sure about other countries but in the US the key start is always on the right side of the steering column and I unlock doors with my right hand.
Huh, I just considered I don’t have a typical pocket I put my phone in. I’m right handed and I think I tend to put my phone in my left pocket more? Maybe? But I just took it out of my right pocket so I’m not sure.
Gotta ask, are you the type of person that regularly misplaces things?
Me?
Never.
(Perhaps)
I see you. My best friend is the type of person who never knows where his things are, and part of that is he doesn’t have a set system for where things go. My wife is the same way, but until the patriarchy puts more pockets in women’s clothes she gets a pass on that one.
I have a semi system at this point for most of my stuff. I don’t carry much with me though.
Left. Because my keys, cigarettes, and lighter are in the right and there’s no more room for the phone.
Left handed, right pocket. Nothing else goes in that pocket.
I’m too inconsistent to even know what pocket it is the majority of the time.
No preferred pocket for anything. I put my phone in any pocket is easily reached with the hand is holding the phone at that moment.
Sometimes is the front pocket, sometimes is the back pocket, the pocket of the hoodie, inner pocket of the jacket, a bag, breast pocket of a shirt if it is big enough.
Same as you. Right Handed, left pocket. My wallet is in my right front pocket. I would bet my older age has everything to do with this.
