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??

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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. (_)

    Left, despite being right handed. I’m deaf in my right ear, and while I don’t make many phone calls these days, but it’s a habit that formed in my flip phone days.
