I hate having too much stuff in my pockets. They bump while I walk.
I carry:
Wallet in back right pocket. When my spider-sense tingles, I hook my thumb in there. I live in the ‘burbs, and it’s not that big a deal. I’ve also lived in Philadelphia and spent extensive time in NY, and never had my wally lifted. Guess I’m lucky. I use a trifold but pare down to the necessities regularly. Rarely have cash in it.
Keys, in left front pocket. ‘natch.
I keep my phone in my jacket pocket or shirt pocket, because I *HATE* keeping things in my right front pocket. It just gets in the way there. During the summer, I either wear cargo shorts or loose-fitting jeans. The only thing I ever keep in my RFP is my iPod, when I use it, or sometimes chapstick, but only during the winter, and I just as often put in in a coat pocket.
My wife gets by with a wristlet or a very small purse most of the time. She is very disciplined about policing it.
