Wallets go in front pockets. Sitting on a wallet is bad for your back.

Neither... money clip in front-right pocket. Wallet was getting too bulky. I can just keep all the coffee and von's discount cards in whatever bag I'm chucking my laptop in.

Front Left: Keys
Front Right: Cell Phone or random cash
Back Left: Wallet -slim magic wallet style
Back Right: Cell Phone or random cash

Right handed, I like to keep the wallet on the nondominant side so I can grab a business card, credit card etc while maintaining a free dominant hand. Strange, but comfortable.

Not to mention easier for pickpockets. I am less likely to notice jostling from behind in a crowd, but the "no fly" zone in the front is always on high alert.

does it upset you if you mistakenly put your wallet or keys in the wrong pocket? Worse--what do others think of you? Isn't it embarrassing to be corrected on this--"Dude, what's up, your wallet's like in the left pocket today."

Front left: phone
Front right: keys + Ipod
Rear right: wallet

I tried the wallet on the left thing and it was very uncomfortable
