I have a palm centro. I've carried it in shirt pocket, back pants pocket, front pants pocket, stuck in bra strap (not an option, I understand for the gents), back packs, belt pouches, just about any jacket pocket I've worn, and the occasional purse.

I haven't had trouble with any of these. My favorite is the back pocket of a pair of jeans, but there are times when I'm not wearing jeans, and others work.

In fairness, I drop my phone not infrequently, but I've also had it for about 3 years, and it's still going.

If I want to access it while sitting I usually use a shirt or similarly placed jacket pocket.

Spills happen most frequently from shirt pockets and small front pockets of pants ( I understand this is not as prevalent an issue in men's pants, but for some reason women aren't supposed to need real pockets).

My husband has a belt clip for his, and he loves it. If you wear a belt regularly that's probably the best option, but it can get caught on things.

Also it's totally worth investing in a case.
