Left (non-dominant), though I've really started to resent having to carry one everywhere. Contemplating ways to replace it with a smartwatch for most situations, if that's even doable

Front left, because I'm left handed. My wallet and keys go in the front right pocket - I almost never use the back pockets unless I'm wearing cargo shorts and carrying a ton of stuff for some reason.
Another lefty in the wild! There are dozens of us!
Do you also look for left handed people in movies?
... well now I'm gonna.
Right front. I only carry a small card wallet so both go in together fine. Keys and other scratchy stuff in the left.
Very interesting reading all the responses, as I am a rear pocket person. Hate the feeling of having things against my thighs when I move.
Though having it in my back pockets does mean I take them out everytime I sit down.
Left from pocket. Wallet goes in right pocket with keys.
Before smart phones it was keys and phone in right front, wallet in left front. But now it's wallet and keys in right front, phone in left front.
Anyone else wonder if OP is doing research on where to best pickpocket people? lol
Right front pocket
It depends on what I'm wearing, whether it has front or back pockets, which hand was holding it last, what I am doing at the time, and whether or not I want to put it in my purse instead.
Front left is keys. Front right has my boxcutter. Left cargo pocket is phone. Right cargo is for glasses case for shades or umbrella. Rear left pocket, at work or when I'm doing a project has box gloves. Rear right is wallet. My jacket has one cheap leather glove in each front pocket for weather/driving in the cold.
Front right pocket for phone, front left pocket for keys, back right pocket for wallet if in uncrowded area, front left.
If it's crowded in winter, it all changes. I have a Columbia jacket with zipper pockets on the side and one chest pocket. Phone and keys stay on their corresponding sides (or even still in the pants because the jacket covers my pockets and who wants to steal a six year old cracked LG?), while wallet goes into the chest pocket.
Front right pocket here. Left is reserved for my wallet and handkerchief.
Bra strap. Most of my clothes dont have pockets that hold it.
Nice try, the pickpocket that I will walk pass tomorrow.
My phone is in my front right pocket because I can take my phone out and use it with just one hand. Wallet and keys in the front left.
Right front pocket, upside down, screen facing inward. My vape goes in back right pocket. All my other pockets are empty.

Right handed, so right pocket, spun round so the screen faces outward, wallet and keys in the left, or keys on a lanyard thing clipped to me depending on if they're my car keys or work keys that actually go into a door
Picked that habbit up during the "put the lock button on the back" craze and would have constant issues of it vibrating in my pocket from the lock screen button being tapped and my leg barely managing to tap numbers randomly through my pocket

Front left for phone and change, front right for keys, pocket knife, and lighter. Wallet in right hip pocket unless I’m in a crowd or unfamiliar city. Then it also goes in the front right.
This
Usually left from pocket. Or back left pocket. I like left. It's opposite from my "main" hand.
Right or left front pocket, I switch every 3 years or so to keep things spicy
Phone in front-left, wallet and a hand towel (Tokyo summers are a sweaty, brutal mess) in right-front. Keys clipped somewhere to my belt loop. back pockets usually empty.
some follow up questions: if you put it in your back pocket how often do you sit on it? is your screen always cracked?
never cracked a screen but 90% of the time I take it out as I sit down
I hold it under my non-dominant armpit when wearing pants with no pockets.
Right handed.
I have my phone in the front right pocket of my jeans, with some microfibre cloth in the litle watch pouch for my glasses and screens, while my wallet, business cards, keys and mints live on the left front side.
Left front. Top down to keep lint out of the charge port. Glass inward to (supposedly) reduce RF.
Right pocket because I use my right hand.
My purse? Then after that my jacket. I don't use my pants pockets.
Lefty here, I usually stick it in my right front pocket
I put my phone in either of my back packets when wearing pants with for pockets. Never front pockets.
I hope to see someone take all of these answers and create sweet graphs with it.
Back left pocket, with my wallet in my back right and its chain attached to my belt loop above my front right pocket. Front right pocket contains a chapstick. Front left is nearly always empty because lady pants front pockets are practically useless.
Right handed; slim front pocket wallet and phone in the right picket, keys in the left. I keep my phone in the opposite pocket as my keys to avoid scratches, and those were in the left so phone went right.
I've basically always used the same pocket as my keys and I've never had problems with scratches. Admittedly, I have my phone in my pocket a lot less these days than I did several years ago, but that's still almost a decade of experience...
Left breast pocket.
If for whatever reason I am wearing a shirt without pockets, left front pocket of pants.
During jacket season, right jacket pocket or left inside pocket if there is one. Outside of jacket season, back right because from pockets in women's jeans are tiny. Purse if I don't have pockets.
Same here, Left front, or sometimes shirt pocket if I have one.
Right pocket phone, left pocket wallet and Miyoo Mini.
I put my phone in my right pocket and my wallet in my left pocket. I almost never take my wallet out of my pocket so it gets relegated to the less convenient pocket.
