I'm right-handed and carry my phone in a belt pouch on my left. I take it out and hold it with my left hand while I tap or type with my right. I do all of my typing with a swype-type keyboard, so I just use my right hand for that too.

Right handed, right back pocket (front if my trousers don't have back pocket). Or more often in my handbag.
Wallet back right, phone back left. When I sit down, I pull it out.
Left handed, right pocket if I use pockets. One hand to hold and unlock, the other to primarily use the screen, left index, right thumb. Back in the day when my phone was smaller than my hand I would have it in my left, and use two thumbs if typing.
Whichever pocket doesn't conain the keys.
And the keys go in whichever pocket doesn't contain my phone.
Usually left back or side pocket, or in my hand, or under one leg/between my legs if I'm sitting.
Left-handed, left pocket. Just habit I guess. Right side is always keys and headphones.
For temporary stowaways around the house (especially when cooking) it can go in either of the back pockets, depending on which hand I'm holding it with.
Right
I'm a fan of keyless entry systems in my house, and nobody really uses cash here, so I can go out with nothing more than a phone
This is the dream, isn't it?
I do occasionally need ID/Credit card though, I've thought about moving them to the backpack though.
There's no need to carry ID in my county.
In the last state I lived in, they had digital driver's licenses. My current state will get there eventually, but I have my licence in my phone case
My credit card is on my phone
It's pretty great!
I have my credit card on my phone, but not everywhere supports that here :-/
That's crazy to me!
I'm just waiting to install keyless entry in my house
I'm just working on the details with some of the new stuff that's out there
With phone becoming bigger than pocket, I have them in a backpack , waistbag or in my jacket
Right, plus car keys.
Earbud case and home keys on the left.
Do your keys scratch your phone?
Nope, it has a protective case all around.
Am I the only one that quite often leaves it at home?
Front left trouser, unless I'm on a long walk in which case shirt pocket for the radio.
Also using Gravity Screen so it can't wake up and pocket dial etc.
I have a big screen android phone that I use mostly for games and social media apps, with a pop socket magsafed to the back because I have small hands. Goes in right pocket usually. With my keys on the rare occasion I use my car.
And I have a small screen iphone with very few apps, mostly just for taking videos and communicating with friends and family. Has a magsafe wallet on the back and goes in left pocket.
It makes me feel balanced, having a phone in each pocket. And lets me compartmentalize better.
Phone: Right back pocket.
Wallet: Left back pocket, sometimes passport.
Leatherman: Right front pocket, potentially keys. Sharp metal things mostly, nothing that can get damaged.
Utility pack/earbuds/emergency usb-c charger: Left front.
Pack has a small toolkit and some usb-cables for charging.
spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch. So it's on my left.
Right pocket 100%. Wallet in the back left. Unless I'm riding a bike in which case wallet in the front left.
Right pocket, being a leftie. Although i also use computers with the regular right handed setup, maybe I'm wired a little strangely.
I switch pockets depending on what I am doing. Sometimes left, sometimes right.
Right hand, left pocket. But the left pocket of a jacket. I never keep the phone in my trousers pocket.
Is it never too warm for a jacket where you live?
Sounds awful TBH
Bag in summer. No way I would be able to fit all things I need in summer clothes pockets anyway.
Left handed, right pocket.
Back in my days we did not have mobile phones, so keys went into the left pocket. Phone just had to take the other one when I got one.
Left pocket if I've got it in my pockets. These days I usually use a smol little backpack to put all of my things into and hate having crap in my pockets.
