Do you carry your phone in your back pocket like a wallet?

Do you carry your phone in your back pocket like an *****?

Fixed! Seriously, there are so many reasons not to carry in a back pocket, and probably #1 is because you will inevitably sit on it, drop it in the toilet, or forget it is there and smash it when taking off your pants. Theft is right up there too if you live in an urban setting where pickpocketing is common. Would you carry $500-$1000 in cash sticking out of your back pocket? Probably not, but that is what you are doing if you are sporting the latest iPhone or whatever there. Just too obvious and easy a target for thieves. I carry my phone generally in a deep front pants pocket, or in an inside jacket pocket when I am wearing such a thing. Possibly in a zippered pocket in a backpack or bag if I am going through security at an airport. This is one reason why I hate waffle iron phones (phablets). It is supposed to be a "mobile" device!

I don't carry my wallet in the back pocket. Stopped doing that about 10 years ago. My back does thank me tremendously for that.

I do occasionally carry the phone in the back pocket whilst I am walking around but take it out as soon as I sit down.

I appreciate all the action here but my real question is will it break the phone to sit down with it in your back pocket.

Lol sorry. Check out Jerry rig and his bend tests. He tries to bend it to break and can't. The biggest concern with it in the back pocket is when u get out of the car or from a chair and it falling out. It's an issue bc it's so tall but I haven't had it happen yet. So I dunno. I think u would have to weigh 300-400 pounds and sit down hard to break it.
However now that I think about it, sitting down on a sidewalk could do some damage especially without a case in it.

I carry my phone in my handbag. Most young ladies in the UK tend to always have their phones constantly in their hand or in their back pocket.

I just carry it in my left hand tucked in close to my heart.

If I carry my phone in my back pocket, it always keep falling off.
So I would like to carry it in my bag or what.

Back right pocket for me. Always take it out before I sit.

Back left for me, and I also always take it out before I sit.

 

[Fr0gburp3r]

Back left as well while walking around. When I go to meetings and can't have my phone out on the table for everyone to see it. Then it goes in my front left. I don't wear skinny jeans. lol

Unfortunately the front pockets on women's pants are usually shallow and useless for pocketing a phone.

 

[cohoman]

Front right pants pocket. Always.

Only girls carry their phone in the back pocket.

Since I'm a guy (tough one at that) I naturally carry it in my front pocket or a holster if the case I'm rocking comes with it.

Oh dear, does this make me a guy? lol

 

[jacker]

Front right pocket. Not bashing any men that do, but I really did think that carrying your phone in your back pocket was a women thing. Just never really seen any men do it.

That's what I said!

I just carry it in my left hand tucked in close to my heart.

Shouldn't we all do that?

It doesn'tmatter to me if I look like an old man, because I am an old man.

Best comment I've read in a while. Thanks for the laugh.

Keep on putting pressure on that glass, I wouldn't be surprised if it stresses and fails and being a long piece of glass doesnt help. Especially at the curves.

I carry nothing in my back pocket. Neither phone or wallet. I don't use a wallet per se, just a vinyl card holder. For my phone, I carry it in my hand as much as possible and the right front pocket when necessary.

As a general rule I'd never put it in my shirt pocket. I'm of the belief that the jury is out with regard to harm caused by radio waves emitted by phones.

 

[jnyvio]

Never back pocket... Front Pocket Only for me... In the car... either in a car mount or resting on front seat.

This was before smartphones, but I was having hip and back pain and a friend suggested getting a wallet that is made for my front pocket, so I naturally (to me) I put all the phones I have owned in my front left pocket wallet and charger with cable in my front right pocket. Back pain was gone after a few weeks.

Fifth degree black belt. Right back pocket

 

[N4Newbie]

Being right handed, mine is usually in my front right pocket.
Now, back in the day, on my right hip in a holster. Ah, the days of the BlackBerry 9000, BOLD, 9900 et al

I am most definitely right handed, but that means my phone (even the handset of a desktop phone) is in my left hand and thus my left pocket.

 

[CraverEric]

Everyone i see with a holster is always fumbling with it. Seat belts, work seats, elevator doors; just not practical lol. Wearing jeans I rock the right back pocket and will sit on it in the vehicle on short trips. Cargo shorts; right cargo pocket, need to be careful here. I've had non-water proof phones in that pocket get drenched at boat landings, none ruined yet though. I'll use shirt pocket going directly to and fro, but never just leisurely; falls out too easy. Wallet in left front pocket and pocket knife in right front pocket; so those are off limits. I never really paid attention until this post lol.
