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.

    If I'm home going room to room, back pocket. If I'm out, purse.

    Whatever you do, DON"T carry your phone in your bra!

    I don't carry my phone. It's in my lunchbag if I am at work. It's in my saddlebag, if I am on my motorcycle. It's on the kitchen counter the rest of the time. I only have it for emergencies. Haven't made a call or received a call on it this year.

    When I had a smaller phone I carried it in a colorful hard shell eyeglass case. Now that I have a larger one, I carry my phone in a soft colorful quilted eyeglass case. I never have bought an actual phone case or protector. I don't necessarily want it "attached" to me and colorful ones are fun, cost so little, are easy to spot, and protect the phone really well.

    Back pocket or handbag, although most people are walking around with them glued to their hands
