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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

          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.

    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.

    Right pocket, being a leftie. Although i also use computers with the regular right handed setup, maybe I’m wired a little strangely.

    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.

    Whichever pocket doesn’t conain the keys.

    And the keys go in whichever pocket doesn’t contain my phone.
