I swear I lose my phone all the time, I wear athletic shorts a lot, and my phone tends to slide out of my pocket and onto the floor of my car, I swear, it happened yesterday, and today, and I’ve probably done it at least 30 other times, (don’t say i need to find a solution to this issue, I already know that). and so thankfully for me, I can just use android device manager to ring my phone and find it on the floor.

918 for your time.

I find a rubbery skin makes the phone much less prone to leap from my pocket and they are cheap.

I love that you can now just Google “where is my phone”.

“find my phone” works too, and it’s genius. I like that it will show you a map of the location and also gives you the option to ring it.

You wear basketball shorts to like work out in or just in general? Maybe an armband could help? Or a few pieces of velcro around the opening of at least one of the pockets on the shorts which you can press together to keep the phone in?

I didn’t choose my phone, my mom got it for me (I wanted an S4, but didn’t get it), and so its a smartphone, but it has an actual keyboard (no its not a blackberry, its a samsung galaxy stratosphere II) but since its a slider phone, the cases for it have to clip on instead of going all the way around the phone, and the cases fall off REALLY easily, believe me, I’ve owned 2 different cases, and both did that. so while a good idea with a one piece phone, not very good with mine.

I’m due for an upgrade in november, so I wanna get an S5 (because its waterproof) or an S6.

Easy fix. Cheap fix.

Yeah, that’s a bummer. If the back is glossy maybe just slap a piece of tape to the back. My current phone is the first without a physical keyboard and I can’t say I miss it.

Also the angle of ford front seats doesnt help. Ive set my phone down on my armrest console thingy and by the time I got home not only was it in the jump seat area, but it was under my drivers seat. It was only a 2 mile drive too. Hell, thats happened while parked in my driveway!

my phone falls down all the time, it never happens when I’m parked in the driveway though

because I have to park on the street because we only have a 1 car driveway.
