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?
Left front pocket for phone only as well, right front pocket for wallet and keys.
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??
Left front pocket is normal.
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.
Same.

We don’t even have front pockets, just seams to give the illusion of a pocket!
I used to put mine in my butt pocket (the only semi-useful pocket we usually have), but then I dropped a phone into the toilet once.
This is why I always tuck my phone under my left bra strap when I use the bathroom.
Ha! No way I’m falling for this pick pocket scam.
I specifically moved to using my front pockets for everything because of being worried about pick pockets. I find myself guarding my front pockets with my hands in public. It is also a good way to make sure I have everything I need before leaving the house. If there isn’t something there pressing on my legs, something feels off.
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.
This is the way.
I have lady pockets in the front which do not fit a cellphone, so typically back right pocket.
Seriously, lady pockets are useless.
I use my back pocket as a dude, but it’s getting annoying how small those back pockets are compared to the big phones being sold.
I think we should all band together and demand bigger pockets. Come on, Lemmy, I believe in us!
I heard JNCOs are coming back in style
Your front pockets are actually pockets?! On most of my jeans/pants they’re just illusionary!
Kind of! They fit peppermint wrappers or a (small - nothing CVS-sized) balled up receipt, but that’s it.
If you’re really lucky, you can fit a chapstick!
Right-handed, right pocket. I’m surprised to see so many people saying they use their off hand to hold their phone.
Yah that’s what I was thinking
Always left front pocket; front right is for keys and such. I am also right-handed, but hold my phone and scroll with my left thumb, while I use my right hand for other touch-tasks on the screen. Always wondered if I was an outlier, too. (_)
Nice job OP! Not only is this not a stupid question, this is in fact a fantastic question! Kudos to you!
My phone goes in my left pocket, and I usually hold it with my left hand since I use a swipe keyboard to type, and I’m right handed. My front right is for my money clip, which also contains a few important plastic cards. This was a huge change for me. Keeping cash and cards and nothing else. Absolutely liberating to not have a wallet taking up pocket space.
My keys dangle at my right hip.
Context: I’m a man, and only wear shorts or pants with pockets. I also only buy phones that fit easily into my pockets, so never the extra mega ones.
I’m glad to see how many of us there are that have a system!
Lol this is wild. I am right handed, hold with right hand, use right front pocket, and use right thumb to Swype text. This is like a way more interesting “do you sit to wipe or stand” question.
We’re all different! Which is awesome. My giant thumbs just aren’t as precise. I can do it, but it’s so much easier with the tip of my index.
I’m glad to meet a fellow swiper though! Nice to meet you 956¡ In the wild I only ever meet people who double thumb it like animals, or people who recognize that double thumbing is ridiculous and either voice type or slow type a short message. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who swipes every time. I’ve met a few people who tried it and thought it was too hard, and I get that. But holding my phone in front of me with both hands to type with my two thumbs just makes no sense to me.
If dedicated thumb types out there feel called out, that is my intent! Our thumbs are awesome, but they are not ideal for tapping tiny things precisely. That’s just not what they evolved to do!! There’s even a saying about being “all thumbs,” which refers to being clumsy. Don’t be all thumbs! Swipe!
My bag, because I‘m a woman and all my pockets are tiny.
This is truly one of the most glaring examples of women being unequal to men.
Everyone should have useable pockets.
Front right for my phone, just makes sense when I’m right handed. Front left pocket is my wallet, keys and microfiber cloth. The microfiber cloth is a necessity for glasses!
Gen Z here, I’ve basically had a phone most of my life besides when I was young, but I didn’t have a wallet then either.
Nice try pickpocket.
Technically none, because I’m a weirdo who uses a belt pouch.
It goes on the right side though as the phone is small enough (Pixel 4a) that I can use it one handed with my dominant right.Right front pocket, upside down, screen facing meat. No exceptions. I don’t even stick other things in there unless I am out of space. I can’t afford to break my phone.
Exactly the same as me. Right handed so right pocket, lowest risk of dropping it if I’m using my dominant hand to put it away and pull it out. I wouldn’t put anything in that pocket or risk bumping the screen into anything so it faces in. It goes in upside down too because I hold it from the bottom.
Perfectly optimized.
Left from pocket. Wallet goes in right pocket with keys.
Right front. I only carry a small card wallet so both go in together fine. Keys and other scratchy stuff in the left.
