Taking iPhones from Back Pockets
Okay, speaking of pockets, your back pocket is not a great place for your iPhone. In fact, back pocket smartphones are very tempting targets for thieves: it’s a lot easier to pickpocket an iPhone in this situation and to do so without the owner even realizing until it’s too late.
The obvious solution is to move your iPhone up to your front pocket. But depending on your choice of clothing, this could be uncomfortable or impossible. If no other pockets present themselves, stow your phone in a backpack or purse and make sure it’s closed/locked appropriately when you’re on the move.
