Which pocket

[johnnyshinta]

which pocket do you keep your phone in and which hand is dominant.

i am right handed and keep my phone in my right pocket

Same

Now that I have an extended battery, it feels like I have a brick in my pocket

Left & Left. But that only makes sense since I'm left-handed.

Which is where you went wrong!

Car keys go in the left pocket. Phone in the right. I'm left handed btw.

Come to think of it my setup is a little backwards considering the ignition is on the right hand side of MOST vehicles manufactured for the USDM lol, and when making phone calls I hold the phone in my left hand... Oh well. Mom always said I was special.

Left pocket master race reporting in. My right pocket is for my wallet.

Pockets? Don't talk about.. pockets?... you kiddin' me? Pockets?

IMO, putting a phone in a pocket is asking for trouble as there are just too many potential things that can either rub against the screen while in the pocket, scratch it when you put it in or take it out, or crack it via too much tension (if in a tight pocket or you move in a way that causes it). A holster where the screen faces in is the way to go (ex. Seidio Spring-clip holster). It protects the phone quite well. Nine months later and my Bolt still looks as pristine as its first day out of the box! I wear mine on my right belt loop and access it with my left hand, releasing the phone by pushing up the spring-clip with my index finger, then using my dominant right hand to use the phone. To put it back in the holster, just reverse the process using just my left hand. No pockets to dig the phone out of! As to fashion faux pas, I?m old enough not to care! Function over fashion.

Left and left. And I am of the special ones, left handed.

Nothing ever goes in the pocket with it either.

I am coming from a Droid 1, so that is a familiar feeling to me anyway.

Always in my right pocket with the screen against my leg. The screen facing in thing has been compulsive after I broke the screen on my voyager like 3 years ago (bumped the corner of a table with the screen facing out :'()... Never again.

Same here! Left/left, nothing else in the pocket, screen in. Time-honored rules of phone transportation.

Wow, left handed right pocket

Freak of nature? lol

Apparently. Like I said in another post in this thread, mom always said I was special.

Phone is definitely alone in pocket, screen facing inward.

As it should be. I even get paranoid about receipts and stuff!

I have no worries in any pants pocket. Mine is protected by a trouser snake. When he falls asleep I just ring him on vibrate and he perks right back to life, occasionally, to perked up but that's more penthouse forum, than android forum.

I find it so hard to use with my left hand. I think the size plays a big role in that

In street clothes, left pocket because I keep my keys in my right pocket, Also I tend to type with both thumbs or I hold the phone in my left hand and use my right index finger to navigate the touch screen. When I'm at work, my scrubs don't have a left pocket, so I use my right pocket, but I also don't carry keys much at work.

+1 Otterbox here. Feel young enough to care but I'm old enough to know better
