Life Is that a phone in your pocket...? - Page 6

**DaFace** · 11-10-2015, 05:31 PM

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?

No phone.

I doubt the internets is suffering from a lack of me...

This all day! The right rear pocket in my day was for your comb to pull back that greasy kids stuff. Now days as the hair went so did the comb.

I will immediately turn around and make a b line for home if I forget my pocket knife. Used to be a 2 blade Uncle Henry and if I lost it it was like losing a pet. Now I carry a single blade with a clip. I clip it on the right front pocket with most the knife inside the pocket. I haven't lost one since.

Besides, I actually do still have my hair!

If the situation calls for it, certainly. It's why I also wear soft-soled shoes.

I don't smoke, but for some reason women often ask me if I have a Meerschaum pipe in my pocket.

6s plus goes in front pocket with nothing else. Thin/minimalist case really helps.

Don't see how others are carrying keys in the same pocket as phone without scratching.
