Non-dominant hand holds your phone, so that's the pocket side where your phone should live.

EDIT:

A few people seem to be confused because apparently they use their phone one handed right from the start when it comes out of their pocket. With the size of phones these days i would guess that most people aren't using their phones one handed that way.

Personally I'll use my phone one handed if I'm stationary and after it's fully out of my pocket and securely in my hands, but if I'm moving around it would be drop-city if I just pulled it out of my pocket one handed and started tapping on it.

Verulen,

Who holds their phone with their non dominant hand??

Xariphon,

People who then proceed to navigate and use it with their dominant hand, like me.

Me, just feels easier when I need to zoom in or do anything non phone related with my dominant hand.

LanternEverywhere,

I assume zillions of people. The holding is the dumb part that either hand can do, the interacting with the screen is the much more active and precise part that obviously is better accomplished with your dominant hand.

I hold it with my dominant hand, why would you hold it with your bad hand? That seems contra productive

Hogger85b,

I hold with non-dom hand and type with Dom finger

I hold and type with the same hand, why would you use another hand? I just tried typing like that and its impossible very slow and unprecise

Do I have big hands? I hold it with my dominant hand and Swype type with my thumb

FermatsLastAccount,

Do you type with your index finger?

NewWorldOverHere,

I hold it under my non-dominant armpit when wearing pants with no pockets.

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.

echo_w,

Left front pocket for phone only as well, right front pocket for wallet and keys.

PhoenixRising,

Same.

jazzbox,

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.

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??

Screwthehole,

Left front pocket is normal.

As a bisexual i mean ambidextrous person I keep it in my left front pocket or right back pocket

CFinley97,

Ambidextrous bi with a Pearl pfp?

Front right pocket for my phone, right back pocket for my wallet and left front pocket for my keys.

Gork,

Also front left for phone and front right for wallet and keys.

For the phone in left pocket though, only the phone is placed in it to prevent it from getting scratched (even with a screen protector it’s annoying), so nothing else goes in there.

Learned that the hard way.

SpeedLimit55,

Phone front right, wallet & keys front left. Knife location varies depending on clothing.

Same

nxfsi,

I keep my phone in my front pocket, while my gun goes in my rear pocket. What do you mean by left and right pockets?

GeoGio7,

Why do you need a gun? You chicken?

Widowmaker_Best_Girl,

Because he wants to have one?

Chill with the personal attacks.

GeoGio7,

Nah unless he’s a law official or lives in a dangerous area, he’s mostly likely some right wing nut who feels like he needs a gun because he’s phobic of everything. He can prove me wrong but hasn’t responded at all. Also he doesn’t know what they mean with left and right pocket? Big sign he’s some kind dumb redneck.

SmellyNinja,

Left pocket- I have pretty bad carpal tunnel in my right hand so putting it in my left lessens some strain.

Front left since I use the tiny pocket inside the right pocket for my car keyfob.
Keyring, wallet, and earbuds go in the right pocket

UncleStewart,

Front right

B16_BR0TH3R,

Wallet in the left, phone in the right, keys in the back right (chained to my belt).

Elcapitan786,

Left pocket. Right pocket has my wallet since before I had a phone. I’m right handed but if using phone one handed, will use my left.

popemichael,
@popemichael@lemmy.world avatar

Left for my wallet (which is chained to me) and right for my phone (which is clipped to me)

Though I will occasionally put my phone into my fanny pack. I have to carry one around that to severe diabetes, so I may as well make usage of it if I have a lot to carry.
