Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I see a lot of adds showing people putting their iPhone in the back pocket of their jeans, and some of the discussions here tell of guys keeping the phone in their back pocket.
While I'd like to do this it doesn't seem like a great idea. Any thoughts?
Your wallet is probably fatter than the iPad and not as slick.
I've never done so either but I've seen lots of posts here about iPhones/iPods going into toilets (this can also occur carrying it in the shirt pocket) and I've talked to plumbers about recovering cell phones that were in back pockets. Just because you've never dropped something doesn't mean no one else has.
If you like carrying your iPhone in your back pocket go for it.

I have a friend that carries a galaxy s3 in his back pocket all the time, even when sitting. It doesn't seem like the s3 is as sturdy as an iPhone. Plus although everyone here has advised against it, nobody has presented an incident caused by anybody having it in there back pocket.
Yup, dropped my iPhone 4 in the toilet because it was in my pocket. The irony is, I don't generally put it there because I know it's a stupid place to put it. Thank goodness for insurance.
Carry iPhone in back pocket?
