i was called stupid and other things for mentioniing I carry my Note in my back pocket..."so you have to pull it out everytime you sit down? That's stupid!!!"...lol.
Do you carry your phone in your back pocket? If i have a jacket on then I put it in the coat pocket.

Might be OK, as long as you remember to take it out before you sit down....CRUNCH!!! Of course you might forget to put it back in your rear pocket when you get up, that could be bad, especially in a public place.
Beware pickpockets as well. An expensive looking Galaxy Note hanging out of a rear pocket could be rather tempting. I'd certainly never keep a wallet in a rear pocket.
Always carry my phone in front trouser pocket even when I'm wearing a jacket, as Mongolian style jackets don't usually have pockets.

Same here. I carry my phone in my bag (if I'm carrying one), the inside of a jacket pocket or in summer my front pants pocket.
RMA would see PCMCIA modems returned for repair with a slight curve to them. One day, it dawned n them that the curve likely came from people putting the devices in their back pockets and then sitting down.
No pockets for me except inside coat/jacket pocket. That's what the belt case is for.
And that is a good place for it. I keep mine in my briefcase or a coat pocket. I use to keep it in my shirt pocket, but it tends to fall into the toilet when I bend over.

Most of the people I know who carry their phone in any pants pocket are also the ones with cracked screens...funny thing is they can't for the life of them figure out how the screen got cracked!
I always use a case and holster and my phones look brand new when I get rid of them.

Since I've had this current phone, I usually put in front pants pocket, shirt pocket or coat pocket if wearing one.
When in my shirt pocket, I've learned to hold it if I bend over. When in pants, I usually take it out if I'm going to sit down. I also make sure the pocket is empty.

@op i can understand why you put your phone in the back. the note is just too big for me. my friend has it and i used it to make a call and i just felt very silly with it.
for me if a phone can't fit in my front pocket then it is too big.
and i also take my phone out when i am going to be sitting. but i usually where baggy shorts so it still can be in my pocket comfortably.

All of my phones have found their place in my right front pocket. I just could not think of putting it anywhere else. I never keep anything else in that pocket either. Phone only because I don't want anything else in there that my scratch the screen.
front left pocket is for the phone. the front right pocket is for keys. i never have my keys and phone in the same pocket.
I usually only see women carry their phones in back pockets as their front ones are next to nothing. Still considering getting a Note 2 but am just afraid that there's no way it'll fit in any of my pockets. My Gnex is already pushing it on some of my pants.
Ok, so there was a particular word that was being used in this thread that got reported a few times. Even though I removed it, I would recommend people to please read the context of what is being said as well as the words being used. It wasn't an aimed insult (the OP was referring to what other people called him), so technically it wasn't against the rules. But, as I said, I removed it. I felt it would detract from the thread too much if left in.
That said, I personally wear carpenter jeans all the time, so I keep my phone in my side right pocket and my front pockets keep pocket change, keys, etc.

I keep my phone in my left side pocket of my pants, shorts, etc, always, it is a deep pocket and will never fall out. Jacket pockets are usually risky and could involve it falling out when you move.
Back pockets are not the best idea either, from personal experience, my girlfriend has dropped her phone into the toilet like 4 times now, LOL, because she has it in her back pocket, i shouldn't need to explain the whole process of how though.
Anyhow back pockets are badddd

Then I must presume you are left-handed. My phone is in my left front, ready to be used in my left hand, and my keys are in my right front, ready to turn the lock and make a fast getaway.

This, 100%. Phone alone in right front pocket. Left has wallet, keys, sometimes headphones. Wayyy too paranoid to risk having my phone in my back pocket.

Just saw a girl in a store with those tight skinny jeans and an Iphone that didn't fit all the way down in her back pocket. What is the saying about temptation?
I have a belt case that I use on side pocket. I don't own a belt.
Wrong model!
I've seen Masai cattle herdsmen in traditional red checked garb and native red ochre clay hairdo with two Nokias, one in each earlobe like above, wandering through the Kenyan savannah, carrying on two conversations simultaneously while also herding a measly herd of 10 skinny cows...!
Try doing that with clamshell phones!

I have a holster with a belt clip. I move the holster to whichever pants/shorts I am wearing that day. The only downside is that the holster muffles the sound of the loud speaker, so sometimes it is hard to hear when the phone rings. I think it is a mistake for phone manufacturers to put the speaker on the back of the phone where it can be easily covered. My old Nokia phone had speakers on the corners of the edges. It makes it easier to hear it ring. The same with my BlackBerry. The speaker is on the edge of the phone instead of the back. It seems with manufacturers wanting to make thinner and thinner phones, they mostly put the speaker on the back.

I normally put my evo og in my back left pocket.. Most of the time I remember to get it out.. But it has been fine.
My next phone looks to be the note 2..because it is even bigger.. Bigger screen.. Bigger glass.. Equals higher stress on the glass when you put pressure in the middle . I don't think I will put it in the back pocket.
Square things are for back pockets. Unfortunately, my minidisc players were square. That got real expensive. Fortunately, phones are rectangular so the compulsion to back pocket it is much less.
Front left pocket while wearing jeans, front left shirt pocket AOAP. I like to wear a maroon denim button down as a light jacket and my Android has never been safer.
I usually only see women carry their phones in back pockets as their front ones are next to nothing. Still considering getting a Note 2 but am just afraid that there's no way it'll fit in any of my pockets. My Gnex is already pushing it on some of my pants.
Odd, a lot of my clothes don't really have usable back pockets (except maybe jeans). I use a front pocket, handheld, niche in my car's dashboard, or case attached to my purse.

Right front pocket, cash and change odd cards and small hardware I have to get more of. Left front pocket nail clippers, Gerber E.A.B., led, flashlight, eye drops. Right rear, wallet. Which leaves the left rear. Sometimes the car keys are in the left rear. If I have cargo pants on, right phone pocket. If I'm using the holster, yeah sure. I guess I have a homeless phone.

No I don't carry it in my back pocket because I'm not a girl.
Don't know why they carry it there so often. I guess their pants are tighter and it doesn't fit well in the front? Also they aren't used to carrying anything in front pockets, like guys usually carry keys, ect. in their front pocket so it is natural.
Don't think its the best place seems alot more likely to break or fall out then securely in front pocket.
right front pocket! back pockets usually for wallets if you're a man of course..

If someone tries to snatch the phone from a bra - now it's not only theft but a sex crime too. So the snatcher is doubly damned.
A son-in-law carried his flip phone in his front pocket years ago. Leaning up against a counter and therefore the phone, almost demolished the phone. It was an El Cheapo LG or Samsung. The Vulcan uses his front pocket with the Nokia 6085 and it has never had an issue.
I can get my phone in a front pocket, I just don't trust it not to dial if I lean on something. That's why the holster. If we are on the bike - the phone goes in the inside jacket pocket.
