How "pocket-able" is the S8+?

It barely fits in my front left pocket.... AKA the cell phone pocket. It is the only thing I keep in there.
 
I do the same, but finding the S8+ is a mite much for most of my shirt pockets and can easily slip out. I can't figure how anybody can use their front pants pocket though, I'd have to wear cargo pants to hold the stuff I keep in that pocket. The phone does fit there, however I find getting it out in a hurry to be very iffy.

I would like to find a line of shirts with slightly larger front pockets (come on scottevest), but so far it has worked.

I carry mine in a Spigen case, in my back pocket most of the time. I've always carried my phone in my back pocket and never had a problem. When I sit down, I pull it out and set it on the table or whatever, or in my lap or between my legs.
 
Samsung needs to bring out that line of jeans I was talking about in another thread. They are called the Infinity Jeans👖
 
It's just fine with most jeans and slacks. If you want a smaller phone you have a great option of the regular S8.

Hmm, don't like this. Forget and you have a cracked phone. Also good chance of leaving the phone laying somewhere. Glad it works for you though.

Been doing it for years. Sad to say but I'm too attached to my phone to leave it somewhere or let it leave my sight.
 
I tend to wear carpenter/painter-type jeans - there's a side pocket (sometimes 2) on the right leg at the thigh. My S8+ with a slim Speigen case fits perfectly (better than the S7edge I had).

When I wear other pants, I just put it in my front pocket with the screen facing my body (my other front pocket has my keys, back pocket has loose change).
 
From the perspective of a 5' 8" male... It sticks out of a dress shirt pocket from just under the camera-fps area but I never feel like it will fall out. It fits fine in my front jeans or dress pants pocket. It sticks out a little from my rear pants pocket, but usually don't keep it there long because I don't like sitting on my phone. So, in summary, I have no problem with the size of the phone in my pockets.
 
Had a Note 5 that I loved but just was a bit too bulky to slip into my front pocket of my shorts or jeans. Upgraded to the S7 edge and it fits perfect with just a Spigen slim case on it. Swung by Best buy and nobody had an S8+ that didn't have an alarm on it so I could try out the "Pocket-ability" of it is compared to the S8 and S7 edge.

It's about as tall as the Note 5 but same width as the S7 Edge. You're better off with the regular S8.
 
I usually put my phone on my left jeans pocket. How tall are you guys and what jeans size do you use?
 
I am 6'0 185lbs and wear a 32 inch waist jean.
I dont like baggy jeans, all of my jeans are slim fit and/or boot cut.

S8+ fits into the pockets with ease.
