Interior suit pocket.

Honest question... is there a cel phone policy in court?  I assume it's silent mode on the table in front of you, but what if you get an emergency text from the wife about the kids and blood and broken bones that catches your eye as you're in the middle of it?  Immediate request for recess?  Just pick it up and text back that you're on the way as you run out!

Once saw a Circuit Court judge clear out the court and declare everybody still on the docket as Failure To Appears when a pager went off.

When I served on jury duty, we were told to not use cell phones anywhere in the court.  I ignored it like a number of other people, and no one seemed to really care.

Usually front pocket. Alternatively in the interior pocket of a jacket, especially when wearing suits.

I have two phones.  I wear my iPhone on a holster (Otterbox Defender) on my belt.  I carry my Android in my pocket.

Shirt or jacket pocket or cargo pants pocket if wearing cargo pants. Rarely in regular pants pocket.

Corporate phone, brah.  Though I do still also have a ghetto phone I sometimes loan to visitors (who then just pick up a pay as you go SIM).

My pocket. Many of my my pants even have a little compartment sewn into the pocket just for that purpose.

Perhaps it is time to bring big hats back into fashion; a phone could easily be carried inside a top or 10-gallon hat, amenable for hands free use as well  :hmm:

Phones have to be on silent mode.

If I get an emergency text from my wife?  Request immediate adjournment (which would be granted) then race home.

Jurors are somewhat different - I don't think they're allowed to have their phone with them.
