Carrying your phone

[ptkelly]

I am curious how people carry their phone. When I'm out my left-hand pocket on my pants has my money, coins and money clip. My right-hand pocket carries my pocket knife and sometimes my camera lens in a protective bag.

I would never stick my Pixel 2 in a back pocket but my right-hand pocket usually has my wallet.

So, do you put your phone in your pocket with other stuff or do you keep one pocket empty just for your phone? Or, some other option.

My phone goes in one front pants pocket, only soft stuff goes in that same pocket. Keys, knife, flashlight go in the other front pocket. Nothing in the back pockets.
What gripes me is I use my phone in my left hand. My Pixel 2 reads only my right index fingerprint. Soooo frustrating!

Left pants pocket, and also have a Verizon brand shell holster combo that I use often.

Most of my shorts have a specific phone pocket with a zipper. Sometimes I'll put a slim leather wallet in the same pocket. With pants I always use the right pocket with no other items.

Right pants pocket with a bandana and my keys most of the time. That's why I always use wallet cases on my phones. When the weather turns cold, the phone goes into a zippered inside coat pocket.

Right front pocket with my wallet, breast pocket if the shirt has one, lower pocket on cargo shorts. One of those 3, I just have a Spigen Liquid Crystal case on it, Pixel 2 XL.

Front left pants/shorts pocket, always by itself. Never in a rear pocket.

Otterbox Defender case with a belt holster, I stopped putting phones in my pockets when they started putting little screens on the outside of the flip phones - around 2003 or 2004. (That's also a built-in screen scratch preventer and protection if I drop the phone or someone knocks it out of my hand. (I've had one flung at a wall and there was no damage to anything, wall, phone or case.) It's also a more sure grip - TPU vs. I guess it's some kind of plastic.

Me too - nothing else with it.

I've never had issue in back pocket or front pocket or special phone pocket depending on what I'm wearing at the time. Usually with jeans it's always the back pocket. Easily removed when sitting.

I use a simple nylon case with a belt loop. Spiegan slim case, black, very sexy. If your pockets are full, how to carry your phone should be fairly obvious.

I keep my phone in my front left pants pocket, but I protect it from damage by using one of these:

I've been using the ultraslim leather sleeve by Sena Cases for the last 4 smartphones I've owned. In my experience, these cases are fine quality products that look great and provide excellent protection from scrapes or scratches (mine have even helped my phones survive a few "soft" drops, but I wouldn't rely on these cases for security against such potentially severe damage). Although Sena doesn't produce a case specifically tailored for Pixel devices (and didn't for the Moto X phones I previously owned), the version they sell for the iPhone 6s Plus fits my Pixel 2 XL perfectly; and as good fortune would have it for those who might be interested, the black leather and certain other colors are currently on sale at a tremendous discount because the line is being discontinued.

Why can't you add other prints?

 

[Almeuit]

Front right pocket, screen facing leg, and nothing else in that pocket.

I am right handed but for some reason I keep phone in front left pocket. The only other thing I keep in there is my microfiber cloth for glasses and screen. I use a thin minimal case, but have really been considering going naked. I love the hand feel. Anyone else rocking it nude in their pockets?
