Left front pocket for phone only as well, right front pocket for wallet and keys.
I do the same, but years ago I used to do phone in right and keys in left. Then I realized I always needed my keys in my right hand to start my car, so I switched to phone in left and keys in right.
But now I just realized that I've had a keyless ignition for several years now and don't have any reason to keep it this way. I feel like I'm living a lie. Oh God, what am I doing with my life??
Same, except I’ll clip my keys onto my belt loop like a janitor lol. Keeping them in my pocket with my wallet gets too bulky and they feel safer clipped in.
Same.

We don't even have front pockets, just seams to give the illusion of a pocket!
I used to put mine in my butt pocket (the only semi-useful pocket we usually have), but then I dropped a phone into the toilet once.
This is why I always tuck my phone under my left bra strap when I use the bathroom.
Ha! No way I'm falling for this pick pocket scam.
I specifically moved to using my front pockets for everything because of being worried about pick pockets. I find myself guarding my front pockets with my hands in public. It is also a good way to make sure I have everything I need before leaving the house. If there isn't something there pressing on my legs, something feels off.
Right front is ONLY for my phone. Nothing else. Trash goes to my right back pocket when there is no bin around and everything else is in my backpack since I do not own (and actually not even want) a car.
Agreed on front right solely for phone. Front left is wallet and keys. Back left is the trash pocket. Back right is the utility pocket. Water bottle at a concert, garden gloves if I need to take them off for a bit, various hardware bits and bobs during house repair.
This is the way.
Phone in right front pocket, screen facing my thigh, camera side down. When I pull it out, the phone wakes and I put my fingerprint in.
I have lady pockets in the front which do not fit a cellphone, so typically back right pocket.
Seriously, lady pockets are useless.
I use my back pocket as a dude, but it's getting annoying how small those back pockets are compared to the big phones being sold.
I think we should all band together and demand bigger pockets. Come on, Lemmy, I believe in us!
Right-handed, right pocket. I'm surprised to see so many people saying they use their off hand to hold their phone.
Always left front pocket; front right is for keys and such. I am also right-handed, but hold my phone and scroll with my left thumb, while I use my right hand for other touch-tasks on the screen. Always wondered if I was an outlier, too. (^_^)
Left pocket is for phone. Right pocket is for keys, smokes, lighter.
Left pocket. I use my right hand for most things but.. answering the phone or checking a message i can do with the left.
This leaves my right hand open to do whatevet. Like pointing, at ugly people.
Front right for my phone, just makes sense when I'm right handed. Front left pocket is my wallet, keys and microfiber cloth. The microfiber cloth is a necessity for glasses!
Gen Z here, I've basically had a phone most of my life besides when I was young, but I didn't have a wallet then either.
Right handed. Keep it in my left pocket.
My bra pockets. I shouldn't need a purse for 3 items just because fashion designers failed basic math.
Nice job OP! Not only is this not a stupid question, this is in fact a fantastic question! Kudos to you!
My phone goes in my left pocket, and I usually hold it with my left hand since I use a swipe keyboard to type, and I'm right handed. My front right is for my money clip, which also contains a few important plastic cards. This was a huge change for me. Keeping cash and cards and nothing else. Absolutely liberating to not have a wallet taking up pocket space.
My keys dangle at my right hip.
Context: I'm a man, and only wear shorts or pants with pockets. I also only buy phones that fit easily into my pockets, so never the extra mega ones.
I'm glad to see how many of us there are that have a system!
I used to use front right pocket, but then I transitioned, and girl jeans don't really have pockets that can hold a phone T~T
Nice try, pickpocket.
Left, despite being right handed. I'm deaf in my right ear, and while I don't make many phone calls these days, but it's a habit that formed in my flip phone days.
My bag, because I‘m a woman and all my pockets are tiny.
Right pocket; I’m right handed
Either one really. I've never had a specific pocket for anything. Are people really this organized? Am I the heathen?
Nice try pickpocket.
I like your question op causes it’s simple but one that will make you think.
For me, I always put my phone on my left front pocket and my keys to my right pocket. I started to do this because when I was young, I played air hockey at the arcades and the puck smashed my right pants pocket which has my phone then. It broke my screen
Left for phone
Right for keys and wallet
Right handed, left pocket. But I also hold it in my left hand and when these damn things were small enough to be one handed, I used my left
Left front pocket. I’ve kept my keys in front right for most of my life and don’t want to scratch my phone. Actually, left cargo pocket when I can. Roomy, usually buttons or velcro so less risk of losing, less likely to be affected by sitting
Also, I don’t understand people who use their back pocket: aren’t you afraid of breaking your phone by sitting on it? Aren’t you afraid of it falling out of the smaller pocket? Aren’t you afraid of more easily getting robbed?
Right front pocket, upside down, screen facing meat. No exceptions. I don't even stick other things in there unless I am out of space. I can't afford to break my phone.
Technically none, because I'm a weirdo who uses a belt pouch.
It goes on the right side though as the phone is small enough (Pixel 4a) that I can use it one handed with my dominant right.
My purse? Then after that my jacket. I don't use my pants pockets.
Right front. I only carry a small card wallet so both go in together fine. Keys and other scratchy stuff in the left.
Same.
Back left pocket. Front pockets feel more linty and my phone is tall so sometimes when I'm walking the phone gets in the way of my leg bending forward.
Very interesting reading all the responses, as I am a rear pocket person. Hate the feeling of having things against my thighs when I move.
Though having it in my back pockets does mean I take them out everytime I sit down.
Left (non-dominant), though I've really started to resent having to carry one everywhere. Contemplating ways to replace it with a smartwatch for most situations, if that's even doable
Wallet right cargo, phone left front, keys/knife right front, ID left rear. Used to be on my belt to the right at 3 o’clock but that’s where my magazines go now.
Shirt pocket. I feel weird with it in my pants pocket. Its too big. I wish I could, I miss tshirts.
Before smart phones it was keys and phone in right front, wallet in left front. But now it's wallet and keys in right front, phone in left front.
Anyone else wonder if OP is doing research on where to best pickpocket people? lol
Front left, because I'm left handed. My wallet and keys go in the front right pocket - I almost never use the back pockets unless I'm wearing cargo shorts and carrying a ton of stuff for some reason.
Left from pocket. Wallet goes in right pocket with keys.
