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?

    Right handed, right pocket 95% of the time. Occasionally I catch myself using the left pocket if for whatever reason storing it in the right requires an awkward movement.

    Left handed, right pocket.

    Back in my days we did not have mobile phones, so keys went into the left pocket. Phone just had to take the other one when I got one.

    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.

    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.

        That’s my setup too! Phone and modern carry card case in the front left, keys in the front right.

    Right handed. My wallet is in my left pocket, since anything that I need to do with it will involve holding it with my left and doing the thing with my right.

    Both my phones (home and work) are in my right, since I can carry out basic functions on them one handed.

    Left handed, right pocket if I use pockets. One hand to hold and unlock, the other to primarily use the screen, left index, right thumb. Back in the day when my phone was smaller than my hand I would have it in my left, and use two thumbs if typing.

    Phone: Right back pocket.

    Wallet: Left back pocket, sometimes passport.

    Leatherman: Right front pocket, potentially keys. Sharp metal things mostly, nothing that can get damaged.

    Utility pack/earbuds/emergency usb-c charger: Left front.

    Pack has a small toolkit and some usb-cables for charging.

    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.

    None. It’s in my messenger bag, or sometimes in a small belt bag of some sort. Why? Because I don’t need constantly access my phone as I seldom use it ;)

    Thinking about it, I tend to keep nothing in my pockets.
