Post A question for dudes with iPhones
I'm sure there are a number of you who have them, but where do you put them? They seem too big for a pocket, but if you keep it in a bag, what do you do when you don't want to take the bag everywhere, like say into a store or restaurant?

I've wanted one for a while and finally decided that it's time, but I'm wondering how I'll carry it once I get it.

I've been looking into discreet travel packs, which are essentially fannypacks, but as long as they look tech/sport enough and are potentially able to be covered with a shirt I think it would work.

Pocket.

Doesn't bother me at all. most of the time I don't even notice that it's there.

also pocket. Size wise they fit just fine but they are a bit heavy, atleast my old one is, not sure about 3g or newer. If you don't want to put it in your pocket you can get one of the protector/clips and clip it to the outside of your pocket, belt, waist, etc

Definitely fits fine in your pocket even with slim case.

I keep mine in my pocket no problem. If you are a fan of the "skinny jeans" then it might be an issue, but otherwise it's just fine. I do have some issues every-so-often with getting it out of my pocket because of the silicone case I have on it, but who can resist this fine piece of iPhone protection?

I'm just a sucker for anything GID.

back pocket, like a wallet. If you wear skinny jeans your front pocket is a no go as a storage place. Its especially hard to get the phone out of your front pocket when your driving.

Pocket's a given . . . is it the skinny jeans dilemma or are you just carrying a few extra pounds these days? :D

If the alternative's a fanny-pack you should stick with a roll of quarters. :wink:

Post Re: A question for dudes with iPhones
I do wear "skinny jeans" and have a few extra pounds; imagine that killer combo.

Right now I have a cell phone in one front pocket and a "front pocket" wallet in my other, but I'm actually trying to get away from carrying anything in my pockets because I also wear dark denim and I get those stupid white squares after I wear jeans like 3 times.

I don't think I could ever carry anything in my back pocket. Don't you just sit on it?

I don't get that either. My wallet is small/thin enough where it's cool in the back actually but I couldn't do an electronic device or even a set of keys or anything. All of my jeans have the front pocket square from years of it. I only started back pocketing it recently to give it a try, not bad, but again- small wallet w/little in it.

Post Re: A question for dudes with iPhones
My wallet is a little thicker than the iphone, so its not that bad. when I leave the house I pic up my wallet and phone, wallet in Right back pocket, phone in Left back pocket. As I open the door to get in my car I pull the phone out of my back pocket and when I sit I put the phone in the phone/ wallet slot on my dash OR I set it in the cup holder facing me so I can see the screen light up when anyone calls. This has become instinct, I dont even think about it anymore. Im like you guys, I hate having things in my pockets, but I have no ass so I dont mind carrying shit in the back pockets, but my front pockets have to stay empty to keep that "slim" look.

I don't mean to be an ass..but it's a phone. It's really not that hard to figure out. Go to the Apple store and find out the size and dimensions if that's a concern. If you really want one and love the iphone then you'll figure out how to carry it. I've had small phones and big phones. It's pretty easy to adjust.

I have a shitty phone and the itouch that I carry around. It's really not that hard.

I've been wanting an iPhone myself.
But I'd wait until June when OS 4.0 comes out w/ multitask along w/ this:

Front pocket is usually good, but yeah, it's a pain to get it out fast when it's ringing.... Especially if you have a case on it... I dropped the hell out of mine when i was drunk one time and didn't have a case on it that day either... SO now it has a very deep and nasty scratch on the back side... Sucks, but it still works fine. ALWAYS keep it in a case. And NEVER keep it in a back pocket! My friend had his in his back pocket and sat down in his car real fast and cracked the front touch screen!! (and no he's not really fat) Totally broke the phone! No back pocket what so ever! Hope that helps.

I guess we all have different experiences. Ive been back pocketing for 2 years with no problems.

When I get an IPad I will just wear it on a chain around my neck.

For me it's back pocket with jeans, front pocket with khakis at work (it fits perfectly in that inner pocket coin pouch that some brands have).
