Well, then I would assert that after an hour and a half this data is skewed, because no one so far has checked the fifth option (in my hand). They may like to think they put it in their purse or pocket, but that’s not where it usually is.I see so many people who go around with their phone constantly in their hand–when they’re not using it. And not just women who have no pants pocket. It seems like a lot of people have their phone in their hands like an albatross around their neck: as though they don’t know where to put it.
If an object won’t fit into my pants pocket there’s a better than average chance that I will lose track of it.
When it comes to cell phones I shop by size first, the smaller and thinner the better.
If I am wearing a jacket: the hand pocket, either side; if the jacket does not have any such pocket, front left trouser pocket.
If I am not wearing a jacket but am wearing a shirt with a breast pocket: breast pocket.
If I am wearing neither a jacket nor a shirt with a breast pocket: the front left pocket of my trousers (since I keep my keys in my front right pocket and I have a touchscreen phone).
The little pocket above my right pants pocket. (I think it is called a “watch pocket”). If the phone won’t fit there, there’s no chance I’ll buy it. Sadly it is looking like the phones that will fit there are being phased out for phones the size of a paperback book.
I had an iphone case with a wrist strap and it was usually dangling from my hand. When my phone was stolen the case went with it and I haven’t been able to find a suitable replacement. Now I wear a bluetooth headset and my phone sits in my purse.
If I have a shirt pocket, then it will be there. Otherwise it is in a pants pocket. It is in a case.
During the week, it’s usually in my briefcase, or quite often it’s just sitting on the recharger at home.
If I run an errand on an evening or on the weekend, and my wife isn’t along, I’ll carry it in my left front pants pocket, which is where I used to carry change, but I don’t bother carrying change anymore because it’s nearly worthless clutter that isn’t worth the hassle of carrying it around.
Front left pocket. Holsters are dorky. You might as well throw it in a fanny pack.
Pants pocket unless I’m wearing a jacket.
Holster. I don’t want my pants damaged carrying a phone.
Personal phone goes in jeans pockets when in casual mode, in purse when in business attire. Blackberry goes in holster which clips to my purse strap.
Pants pocket. Finally found a use for my other back pocket.
Mine lives in my car. I only use it in emergencies. (With a very loose interpretation of emergency.)
Normally, holster. Keeping it in the pants pocket is too uncomfortable, especially with all my keys and other stuff in there. Also, fishing it out of my pants pocket can be cumbersome when I’m sitting down.
However, if I’m wearing cargo pants or some other pants with an extra pocket alongside my thigh – well, there it goes.
I hardly ever use my phone. It sits either in the outside pocket of my purse, my backpack (when I’m carrying that instead of my purse), or in my pocket if I’m going minimal.
iPhone, in a belt holster 95% of the time. Exceptions are when I’m running (then, it’s either in my hand, or in a sports holster strapped to my upper arm), and when I’m being lazy and hanging around the house in my sweats (then, it’s in a pants pocket).
Pants pocket. I have an iPhone, so the glass screen is nearly completely scratch resistant. Doesn’t have a mark on the screen after 3 years with zero protection of any kind.
Front pants pocket, unless I’m wearing a jacket, in which case inner pocket.
Handbag usually. Sometimes in my pants pocket if they’re deep enough.
My old flip phone was in my right rear hip pocket, but the smart phone lives in my left breast pocket generally.
