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, cigarettes, and lighter are in the right and there’s no more room for the phone.
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.
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.
Nice try, pickpocket on the metro
Hahaha… Thats a funny joke… 👀
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I keep my phone in my right pocket and keys in the left pocket. I started this habit in high school in 1998 when I got my first phone and just have carried the habit along, it is the most convenient for me.
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.
I’m the same, right handed but phone in left and use phone with left hand.
Right, plus car keys.
Earbud case and home keys on the left.
Do your keys scratch your phone?
I use whichever pocket is handy, and I can be seen checking all my pockets every 45 seconds to remind me which pocket my phone is in, lest I need it.
Rinse and repeat.The “white man’s haka” in my country
I’m too inconsistent to even know what pocket it is the majority of the time.
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.
Right
I’m a fan of keyless entry systems in my house, and nobody really uses cash here, so I can go out with nothing more than a phone
This is the dream, isn’t it?
I do occasionally need ID/Credit card though, I’ve thought about moving them to the backpack though.
There’s no need to carry ID in my county.
In the last state I lived in, they had digital driver’s licenses. My current state will get there eventually, but I have my licence in my phone case
My credit card is on my phone
It’s pretty great!
I have my credit card on my phone, but not everywhere supports that here :-/
