I’m right handed, but I keep my phone in my left pocket since I like to be able to pull out my phone to check the map or msgs while using my primary hand for another activity.

When texting, I usually use both hands but certainly can type with just my left hand.

Where do you keep your phone & why?

    Between my butt cheeks as it helps me stay fit by clenching my butt all day.

    Also, in my roght pocket as I’m right handed and use my phone a lot.

    Right pocket on the uniform, because I fear putting my shears and stethoscope in the same pocket, and the shears have a tip that doesn’t facilitate the left pocket, and the stethoscope rubber is too grabby on the phone.

    Left pocket in general, because my wallet is in the right and I hate them clanking together.

    Right handed, phone front left, keys front right, wallet back right. It’s a perfect system. Not sure about other countries but in the US the key start is always on the right side of the steering column and I unlock doors with my right hand.

    Wallet and Keys in left pocket, phone and everything else in right.

    I never use the back pocket.

  • Huh, I just considered I don’t have a typical pocket I put my phone in. I’m right handed and I think I tend to put my phone in my left pocket more? Maybe? But I just took it out of my right pocket so I’m not sure.

          I see you. My best friend is the type of person who never knows where his things are, and part of that is he doesn’t have a set system for where things go. My wife is the same way, but until the patriarchy puts more pockets in women’s clothes she gets a pass on that one.

            I mean, not having a set system makes it harder to find things sure. But for me the moment my autopilot brain doesn’t place my keys exactly where I normally put them, I will have to search for them.

    I’m right-handed and carry my phone in a belt pouch on my left. I take it out and hold it with my left hand while I tap or type with my right. I do all of my typing with a swype-type keyboard, so I just use my right hand for that too.

    For me it was always clear to have my wallet in my right pocket and my phone in the left one. I never questioned this until now…

    Right handed, left pocket.

    When I was deciding what went where, I drove a car with actual locks and cell phones were really only for calls, you didn’t spend all day looking at it. So my keys spent more time in my hands than my phone did.

    Now it’s a habit and I can’t change it.

      Samesies. My keys always went in my right pocket so when cellphones came along that went to the left front pocket to protect it from my keys.
