Front left pocket, always.

Back right,  bifold.   Front pockets are for my phone (right) and keys (left).

Are you left handed?

[Institutional Control]

I prefer the bi-fold over the tri-fold but my mother-in-law buys me a wallet for Christmas every year and sometimes it is a bi-fold and sometimes it's a tri-fold. I don't complain, I just use my free wallet.

[Lynchmobrules]

I have this exact same one. Love it.

No. Are you?

['taterblast]

i have always done keys front right, cellphone front left, wallet back right.

but now with the money clip i can put it in the front right with the keys and it's not too bulky. so now i don't have to sit awkwardly on a wallet.

This.  When you start your car, what hand do you use?  Efficiency folks.

yes efficiency. also I typically access my phone with my off-hand while my right hand is performing other tasks.

[Emo EMAW]

Some real knowledge being dropped in this thread.  I've always done it a certain way and never really knew it was because I'm super efficient.

have an old fossil "magic" wallet. the magic is starting to wear off, and am open to suggestions to a replacement. need something pretty elite and slim. don't carry too much, some cash, a debit card, one CC, DL, ins card, and maybe any applicable gift cards I have received. (love gift cards, btw, going to start a thread on them now)

also, wallet back left pocket, phone front left (samsung galaxy sIII  ) keys front right (never leave pocket due to push button start and automatic locking/unlocking feature in my elite ride)

No. Are you?

No. I put my keys in the right pocket and cell phone in the left. I was just curious if jtksu was left handed since he does it opposite.

I'm actually ambidextrous but I obviously use my right hand to start my car.  I like my keys in the left pocket because I tend to sit with my left leg crossed over my right leg and the phone feels awkward if it's in my left pocket.

it would take an extremely deep leg cross to bring my pocket contents into play. please post a selfie of your lower body in this position.

I don't know how you guys keep your keys in your front pockets. I keep them in my coat pocket, or but them on a desk or table until I leave. In very extreme conditions, I put them in my back pocket.

do you have a large keychain? i could see that being a problem. I am a key minimalist. just 3 keys on one ring, pocketable with no problem.

Just a regular cross legged position, left ankle on right leg, close to knee.  I didn't say the phone inhibits the leg crossing, it just feels weird.

Got a new one from a family member for Christmas. It's designed to be skinny, so you can only carry about 7 cards in it. It's great, feels like you don't even have it in your back pocket when I'm out:

Question:  if this was a gift was there money included in it?  My in-laws have this belief that if you give a wallet or purse as a gift it should contain money as good luck.  Never heard of that before.

No, no money in it. Was gift-wrapped while still in case they shipped it in. Fine with me, that wallet wasn't cheap.

Also, no belief in my family that if you gift someone a wallet there should be cash in it.

I'd place my key ring size at average. Possibly slightly above average if only males' key rings were taken into account.

I would spend about a half hour looking for my keys every day if I did that.

I probably carry more on my key chain than most.   Only a few actual keys but two key fobs up the ante quite a bit.

I've tried a bunch of different wallets/clips.

Tri-fold and bi-fold. Worked okay but so bulky.

Tried money clip and binder clip. Worked okay but I'd have a tendency to misplace due to smaller size area, and didn't like idea of slipping credit cards in there, so tried carrying money clip and a slim card holder. Now I had an extra thing to keep track of.

Got one of those magic wallets from J. Crew:



Holds the $$ nice and tight, 2 credit cards + DL + open slot for random card if needed. Can slip in a couple of business cards opposite the $ and it's still less than 2/3 the bulk of my bi-fold with the same contents.

Only downside is that I think the elastic's going to wear out eventually. But you can get them on sale for like $5, so if I get a couple of years out of it I'll be happy.
