How do you carry your phone?

I'm looking at new phones. Right now I have a really old LG Volt. It's 5" long & I can easily fit it in my back pocket sideways. All the new phones are much bigger & there's no way it'll go in my pocket unless I stand it upright. I'm afraid it will fall our that way. I need to keep it on my body because I don't hear well & need to feel it vibrate.

    lmao at the fanny packs!!

    Op, I have an Iphone 6 now, just the regular, but it's like twice the size of my old phone. If I don't have pockets big enough for it then it goes it my purse (that's almost all the time). I actually just end up holding it a lot now too (I have a good case on it for when I inevitably drop it). I just found this thing called a flip belt (from a thread on here) and I LOVE IT! I've just been using it for workouts so far but I can see it coming in handy for outings when I don't want to carry a purse. As for feeling the vibration, I always have mine on silent but now I have a garmin vivosmart and I connect it through Bluetooth so it alerts me when I have a text/call. It actually works out really well for me so I don't have to carry my phone with me around work or the house and know I won't miss anything.

    I have the galaxy note, so my phone is pretty big and I keep it in back pocket anyways.

    In my purse or if I'm out with The Hubs and I'm sans purse, I ask if he can put it in his cargo pocket for me. :)

    I have the same problem. I hate the current trend for big phones! I'm delighted about the iphone SE and will be getting one of them when my 5S finally dies.

    I'm old-fashioned, I have a phone case that clips on my belt. For those occasions that I am dressed up, then the phone goes in the purse.

    I have the Galaxy S6 edge and it comfortably fits in my front pocket.. I never carry anything in by back packets including a wallet.. always front pockets. Just a personal preference.

    I always marvel at the girls who can keep their phones in their back pockets.

    When I'm not dropping it, I pop it in a clutch. Because clutches are cute. They fit an iPhone and one stick of gum.

    i use an armband for it if i'm running, my purse if i'm going out, and my bra if there are no other options. i try to have it on me all the time so it can track steps.

    I use to put it in my bra as it tucked in nicely in there but just heard that can give you cancer so thankfully i wear scrubs and it goes in my scrub pocket, so no direct contact with the skin. It could all be bogus but the stories I heard were enough to deter me from continuing to carry it like that. When i don't have the scrubs on it goes in my jacket pocket or my purse. (but i hate putting it in my purse, i never hear it or feel it).

    No, we actually hate the users who think that buying some company's overpriced product makes you a better person than everyone else.

    Exactly, I'm not interested in Steve Job's overpriced, proprietary, table scraps.

    If I'm out and about it goes in my back in a wee pocket for phones. If I go running it goes in my bra (has a pocket bit) :lol:

    One of the biggest misconceptions spread around by non-apple people. 90% of the time, it's not true. The OS is just extremely smart and that is what makes a smartphone. Samsung tech is world class but the google OS just sucks.

    Thanks for proving my point.
