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?
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.
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.
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.

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.
Nice try, phone thieves.
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 mean, not having a set system makes it harder to find things sure. But for me the moment my autopilot brain doesn’t place my keys exactly where I normally put them, I will have to search for them.
I have a semi system at this point for most of my stuff. I don’t carry much with me though.
Nice try, pickpocket on the metro
Hahaha… Thats a funny joke… 👀
Nice try pickpocketer!
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…
Same to me lol
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.
That’s my setup too! Phone and modern carry card case in the front left, keys in the front right.
I’m right-handed and carry my phone in a belt pouch on my left. I take it out and hold it with my left hand while I tap or type with my right. I do all of my typing with a swype-type keyboard, so I just use my right hand for that too.
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.
Your parents did right. Nobody wants the old Costanza wallet syndrome https://youtu.be/9sz2HDRJkUQ
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.
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.
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.
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.
Right handed, left pocket.
Right handed, right back pocket (front if my trousers don’t have back pocket). Or more often in my handbag.
