I always keep my BBs (Pearls, Curves, Storm and now Curve 2) in my pockets; rear right pocket on jeans, right side pocket on trousers, and sometimes in breast pocket in suits. The only precaution is keep it alone in the pocket, not with coins, keys, lighter....
I never wore it on the belt, even if getting paid for that.

Thank You for all the helpful information from everyone. The reason I asked was because I am on occasion having problems with my cases, and am considering just putting it in my pocket. I do have a screen protector and a plastic shell, and was wondering if it would be safe to do so. I am not gonna put it in my back pocket (might sit on it), and the pants I wear would not be tight, so it wouldn't be hard on it when I sit down. I am concerned about lint getting into it, though I'm sure compressed air would take care of that too. Again, thanks for the insight to all.

I don't have any problems with putting in my pocket. I been needing to a silicone case for the phone but just haven't had the time or the urgency to get it. The only rule about my phone in my pocket, and this has been the same for every phone that I have had, is that it gets in own pocket. I don't keep change, keys, or Ipod in the same pocket as it so I haven't really had a problem with scratches on it. As far a lint goes I haven't had anything a quick swipe of my shirt won't take care of. The only real problem I have with my curve is finger prints.

I keep mine in an Otterbox skin, with a screen protector on it. Never have to worry about it getting dinged up in pocket with those on. Great piece of mind.

I have thought about the Otter, but I have been considering moving up to the 9700. I don't want to invest in anything right now if I plan on changing phones.
I do appreciate the comment though.

Always in my pants pocket, a year and a half on my current device.... no issues.

I would like the otter but the price point is an issue for me. I just can't spending that much money on a case for my phone.

Keep my Tour in my pocket all the time. If it's not in my right pants pocket I start looking for it. I have the screen facing towards my leg and use one of the screen protectors and have not had an issue in a year. I also never stick anything else in that same pocket. Keys, change or what ever always go in my left pocket.

Other than scratching the case or screen with something else inthe pocket, should not be an issue
