Is that a phone in your pocket...?
No really, is it?

I just upgraded to a Nexus 6P, which has a 5.7" screen. I've had 5" phones for a while now, but it's definitely an adjustment to figure out what the hell to do with the damn thing when carrying it around. I've always been a front pocket kind of guy, but it gets a little tight in there with the bigger phone. I've also gotten away with carrying my phone in the same pocket with a pocket knife, which I'm a little iffy about given the increased pressure.

So, aside from the poll question, how do you arrange your pocket accoutrements so as to maximize usability and minimize the chances you're gonna destroy your phone?

Here's my arrangement:

Front right pants pocket - Keys
Front left pants pocket - Cell phone, pocket knife, chap stick
Rear right pants pocket - Wallet
Rear left pants pocket - Usually unoccupied, but occasionally receipts, cash, etc.

I thought about shifting the cell phone to the back left, but I'm afraid I'll sit on it and crush it or something. I also thought about moving the pocket knife to the front right with my keys, but I'm a man of habit, so that would take a while to get used to.

Decisions, decisions...

With larger phones, this is a must.

I'm not affiliated with them, but I've used them since my Galaxy Note 2. Only way to go if you have a big phone.

Sounds like you need to start wearing cargo pants. Or a fanny pack, but the cargo pants have a slight edge in terms of fashion.

So you basically put it back there but pull it out any time you have to sit down? I've thought about that, but it seems a little clunky.

Front left pocket - cell phone, car key
Front right pocket - Other keys, two pens, two microfiber cloths for glasses, any change I get that day
Back left pocket - business wallet
Back right pocket - personal wallet

It was a rough transition, but a couple of years ago I switched all keys but my car key from the left front to the right front. I was worried about scratching my phone screen. The transition is now complete.

And I recommend the two wallet system. It keeps the wallets slimmer and more organized. Plus, if I get robbed I can give them the wallet that only has one credit card in it. I started this system last year and it works quite well.

Yeah....but when I'm sitting down....it's usually out because I'm either charging it or using it.

Eh, HOLDING the phone doesn't bother me - I've got pretty big hands. It's just the storage I struggle with a bit.

No, but I believe in being prepared. My belt can also be used as a tourniquet.

Belt clip M-F, since I wear a belt going to work. Weekends I use the belt clip, but instead just clip it on the OUTSIDE of my right front pocket. Works fine. No discomfort when sitting down, no weird adjustments, easy access, etc.

Probably looks a little geeky, but with me that's basically just thematically appropriate.

I used to do belt clips back in the flip phone days, but I can't imagine lugging this brick of a phone around like that these days.

I might have to try out the rear pocket thing, though. Given that that pocket is currently largely unoccupied, that idea has promise.
