I honestly NEVER put a second of thought into it but now that its mentioned, I put it in my left (always) pocket upside down, screen facing in. I guess its an unconscious thing. It probably ends up that way because its the inverse opposite of how I would be holding it when done talking/texting.

I put it in my messenger bag without concern for how it goes in. I still use my SGS1 for music

I don't. I wear a holster on belt. If I have on basketball shorts I will pocket it. It goes in however.

Headphone jack up always, mostly because I'm using the first Droid Razr with a slightly thicker 'top' so I pinch the phone by that and slide the bottom into my pocket each time.

Similar to my reasons - easier to get thinner part in and big part at the top makes it easier to pull out, a little like a handle. Also because of the headphone jack as well.
If I have looser pants I tend to put the phone in top first.
I end up with screen facing towards me when I put it in either way though. I don't think I ever put it in so the screen is facing away from myself.

On the other hand, anyone hold their phone with the headphone jack to the right when holding it sideways? (I hold it the other way), with the jack facing left, volume keys up

Although it's a fairly minor thing it's sparked debates in multiple forums across my daily view over the last year or so. So here I pose the question to you guys. Do you put your phone in your pocket upright or upside down? This obviously influences many people's preference on location f the headphone jack and I'm curious to see if it's heavily slanted one way or the other. Me personally? Upright.


Sideways, in a belt holster, screen facing into my right hip w/jack on the left.

but when I'm in uniform it goes straight up, glass facing inward in my right breast pocket. Makes it easier to pull out to check clock and notifications. Glass inward so i don't scratch the screen crawling through bilges or climbing on engines.


Nice. Navy here, also.

That makes sense. In my uniform i put it upside down in my right leg pocket by my ankle in my ACU pants. Glass is always facing in too.

Right pants pocket, right side up, screen facing in, and that is all that's allowed in that pocket. I'm a righty, and it just seems easier to pull it out using the little hump on the OG Razr. I find I do a little rotation of the phone as I'm pulling it out and its ready to go. If I put it in upside down it doesn't feel right at all. I have been doing it this way since my first Droid X, so its burned into my head as the right way.

Interesting, I'm a lefty and it always goes in my left pants pocket. Doesn't matter what else I'm carrying, anything else can go in the right.
