follow up question: what pocket do you carry your wallet in?

I have a magnetic money clip/card holder type thingy. Just a few cards and don't carry much cash so works for me. I carry in my front, right pocket.

I carry my money clip in my front left pocket. I travel pretty light; just ID and a few cards.

Standard operating procedure is keys front left, phone front right, wallet back right.

Notable exceptions include at a crowded place like a concert, wallet goes to front right & phone slides over with the keys. Same sort of deal when I'm wearing gym shorts.

Also rocking a trifold black leather @ 28 years young.

That's a good set up. *fist bump*

Keys: right shirt pocket
Wallet: left shirt pocket
Phone: front inside underwear (set on vibrate)

I wear pocket-less pants, but double pocket shirts, or even guayaberas (if feeling extra pockety).

Front pocket wallet for lyfe. Once you're tried it you'll never put your wallet in your back pocket again. So much more comfortable.

All you weirdos that keep your wallet in the front pockets: do you carry your wallet and your phone in the same pocket with a separate pocket for your keys, or do your keys share a pocket with your phone or wallet? Or, are you a hipster and/or janitor who keeps your keys on a ring attached to your belt loop?

Wallet and keys front left. Cell phone front right.

Try it, you won't go back.

I keep my smart phone in my left pocket with nothing else so it doesn't get scratched. I keep my keys, a tiny Leatherman "micra" pocket knife, and my wallet in my right pocket.

I have learned to minimize the keys that I carry on a normal basis. I commute by bike, so I can leave both my giant push-button Ford keys for my car and my wife's car at home. I just carry my bike lock key, apartment key, two work keys, and a bottle opener on my key chain.

Speaking of pocket knives, does anybody have a recommendation for a functional buy small multi-tool/pocket knife? My Leatherman Micra does the job, but I'm open to better suggestions.

See, I worry about having my keys in with either my phone or wallet...seems like the keys can scratch up either of those items. At the same time, phone + wallet in the same pocket seems a little bulky, and with as often as I check my phone, I'd be concerned about accidentally pulling out and dropping my wallet sometime.

I guess I don't worry about scratching up my wallet. It's a big chunk of leather. Most scratches in leather wear away anyway. My wallet just looks "seasoned" like an old leather jacket after about 5 years of use and carrying it w/ my keys in my front pocket.

Keep this in my front pocket with my keys. Phone goes in other front pocket.

For you receipt folks...what the hell do you keep receipts for?

Wallet - center console of car about 95% of the time. Otherwise, back right pocket
Phone - back right pocket unless carrying wallet, then back left
Keys - front right
Cash (if any) - front left

I need to switch to a thinner wallet and just have my DL, CC, and DC in it and keep all that other crap somewhere in my car.

Right now, I have a Dave and Busters card, dental card, pharmacy card, health insurance card, a second credit card that I never use, a Sports Clips punch card, and a couple random gift cards that probably have under $2 on them that I SWEAR I'm gonna remember to use some day.

Why do you want to know more? Isn't it enough to know that they're freaks?

I dated a girl who did this. I had a very Seinfeld-esque opposition to it.

To reminisce about things I bought 6 months ago that I thought I'd need the receipt for for some reason.
