Do you remove your 6P from your pocket when sitting down?

If I want maximum comfort while seated, gotta take it out. I guess it's part of the package (no pun intended). 😀 Anyone else?

I really don't understand people who put their phones in their back pocket, it just increases your chances on damaging your phone, if you forget to take it out before slumping on the park bench, chair, etc etc...plus judging from the youtuber, jerryrig,who happened to easily bent the Nexus 6p,I wouldn't say its a rigid phone (However, he really is buff as hell than most people) ...as a matter of fact, all phones bend, its just the difference in how much pressure it can withstand, i dont think I've seen any smartphone that withstood bend tests before, without being slightly bent (Except the Nokia 3310)....and not forgetting how easy it is to pickpocket your phone from your back pocket...

I've never put a phone in my back pocket. Front pants pocket, jacket pocket, sweater pocket, shirt pocket - yes, all pockets where its very unlikely to get bent by sitting on. Shirt pocket is probably my favorite as its also the least likely to bump into things (tables, chair handles for some styles of chairs, etc.), but I just can't see what's so wondrous about putting a bendable or breakable device into a pocket that's easiest to bend or break things with.

I usually put mines in right front pocket of jeans. Keys, change, etc in left pocket. Yes I sit down with mines regularly and no issues at all. There are times when you don't want it out in the open or laying on a table for someone to easily swipe and that is when its in my front jeans pocket. If in a jacket its on a inside pocket, I get nervous about it being in a outside pocket where it could easily fall out.

I never carry a phones in my back pocket because you can bend it if you sit on it and you can get pickpocket. I put it in my front pocket and take it out when it's time to sit.

Its easy. I've always put my phones in my back pocket. You just take it out before you sit down. Wallet and keys in front two pockets, phone goes in the back. I don't get how people put their phones in front pockets. So do your keys and wallet all go in one pocket up front or one in the back and one up front? To me that makes no sense at all.

Well I'm a girl and my front pockets would never fit this phone. If I don't have my purse, it goes in my back pocket and like others have said, I take it out before I sit down. Been back pocketing my phone since my Evo days and never had an issue.

I agree. Putting your phone in your back pocket seems to be a trend that people copy. Right up there with those man buns and skinny jeans. I keep my phone in my left front pants pocket and my car keys in my right front pocket. A smartphone in the back pocket is just asking for issues.

Yes. Maybe not always with slacks or shorts but with jeans, yes. Front pocket only, screen in.

I go front right pocket with my phones. I've always had cases and screen protectors with my phones, so it goes in the pocket with my keys.

I've always put my all phones in my front jeans pocket, including my Notes and now 6P. When I buy jeans I always make sure the pockets are deep enough for my phone. Jeans that have shallow pockets are just pointless anyways. I never have problems sitting down with my phone in my front pocket since I make sure I have pockets that my phone fits in.

I've put a cell phone in any pocket just once. I've always had one of those leather pouches that clip to a belt, or carry it in my hand. I don't like 'pocketing' a phone.

I keep my phone in my front left as well.

I prefer pants that actually fit so having my devices in my front pockets is not an issue.

Same here, but with Doze, I tend to take my phone out of my pocket at work and at home. That being said, anywhere else, I can sit with this monster in my pocket.

I only ever walk around with my phone in my back pocket. I never sit on it. Why? Because 1. Bending and 2. It misaligns your spine so it's bad for your back.

If you don't have a deep pockets you will feel uncomfortable. I have 2 jeans with has small pocket and I always feel uncomfortable but today i am wearing a jean which can fit my phone completely in and don't feel that uncomfortable.
