Sentinian ( @Sentinian@lemmy.one ) 14•1 year agoI don’t see how any phone user would actually do anything other then top left
Barzaria ( @Barzaria@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 3•1 year agoOkay here me out. Imagine its like 101F outside (this temperature is hot to humans, really hot). If you were to put your phone in your sweaty pocket screen-to-thigh you will get condensation on the screen (due to being pressed against the leg, no ventilation style). The condensation might fog up your screen protector if you have other than the adhesive glass type. Additionally, any pocket lint in your pocket will get stuck to a sweaty thigh phone, making the screen gross and hard to see/use. The above principle applies for shirt pockets.
Top left. Also, pro tip: if you’re a dork like me who sticks their hands in their pockets and accidentally unlocks their phone with the fingerprint scanner, remove your non-dominant hand’s fingerprints and always put your phone in that same hand’s pocket. E.g. if you are right handed, remove your left hand fingerprints and always put your phone in your left pocket. That way you need to remove the phone from the pocket and transfer it to your other hand before you can unlock it.
Mallard ( @Mallard@beehaw.org ) 6•1 year agoTop left. I’ve just mimed out Top Right and it hurts my brain and wrist.
Thalyssa ( @Thalyssa@kbin.social ) 5•1 year agoAs a woman. The few pants that I own that can fit a phone I do top left.
Callie ( @Callie@kbin.social ) 4•1 year agotop left. it’s easier to grab the phone and see what time or notification is without readjusting it

IoI_xD ( @IoI_xD@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 3•1 year agoUsed to do bottom left when my phone had a bad touch screen and would interact with my thigh. Ever since getting a pixel, top left.
clb92 ( @clb92@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoI’m bottom right, because my thigh accidentally called emergency services three times one day (three calls, one right after another, and I only noticed the third one). Turns out my slightly sweaty thigh activated the screen (tap to wake) and tapped the “Emergency” button on the OnePlus lock screen. So now I turn the screen outward in my pocket out of fear of that happening again.

Avalanched ( @Avalanched@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoI don’t care as long as my screen isn’t touching my keys I’m good
Ravor ( @Ravor@kbin.social ) 10•1 year agoYou don’t put your phone in the same pocket ae the key.
This is the rule no 0
Deralax ( @Deralax@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoTop righter reporting in. I won’t change and I’m not sorry.
gerbilstampede ( @gerbilstampede@beehaw.org ) English0•1 year agoI think we’re the only ones. I didn’t expect this.
I_Miss_Daniel ( @I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoTop left, plus Gravity Screen so it can’t wake up and do silly things.
garrettw87 ( @garrettw87@kbin.social ) 3•1 year agoThis is the most correct answer, because it results in the phone being in the correct orientation in your hand when you take it out. fite me.
StickBugged ( @StickBugged@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoGravity screen seems to be too old for my version of Android :(
I_Miss_Daniel ( @I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social ) 1•1 year agoThat’s annoying. I can’t immediately find a replacement. Maybe Google has done something that prevents further development.
I’ll attempt to contact the author for more info and will reply here if I can find this post again :)
Tenacious_Tea ( @Tenacious_Tea@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoThis is turning into a goldmine for pickpocketer awareness haha.
HighJudge ( @HighJudge@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoTop Right is how I use it, but I dont think its the “right way”.
The screen has to be in, or else the case cant protect it if something impacts it (had a phone screen break on me once because it was facing out and I ran into a countertop). Top Left does make more sense, but somehow I got into a habit of twirling my phone so its top right.
So maybe top left is the “correct” answer to protect your phone from breakage, but I still have a habit of top right.
darvocet ( @darvocet@kbin.social ) 1•1 year agoThis is the right answer.
atocci ( @atocci@kbin.social ) 1•1 year agoI usually do top left instead of top right just because I tend to touch my camera lenses if I hold my phone from the top side like that and I don’t want to smudge them up.
AshDene ( @AshDene@kbin.social ) 2•1 year agoWhile wearing jeans: Bottom, there are stupid little metal things that stick out and will scratch the screen otherwise
Otherwise: Top, it’s more convenient.
With my current model of phone, bottom left/top right specifically. There’s a camera bar on it that makes it easier to pull out that way.
