I have an iPhone 6 (well it is on the Fedex truck now) and a Galaxy Note 3. As fall weather arrives in Seattle, wearing light weight jacket is the daily routine. What jacket works? Being able to quickly reach the phone for either left or right handed is nice. Must be zippered pocket as accidental drops are too often disastrous from chest height.

The jacket I have found that works well is the Arc’Teryx Gamma Jacket. It has two chest pockets. Both big enough for an iPhone 6 Plus or Galaxy Note. You can put the phone in either pocket if you are left or right handed. I often carry both the iPhone and Galaxy Note. Why? Because I work on mobile solutions and each has its strengths.

REI customers give it 5 out of 5 stars.

I use this jacket al the time when skiing. The shoulder pocket is convenient for the RFID ticket card which if you place in the same pocket as your phone almost never works.

With the popularity of the iPhone 6 Plus more and more people are going to be looking for what pocket to put their phone in. I like having the phone at chest height. Seems better ergonomically. May not be the most fashion conscious way to carry a device, but given how ofter you are using the phone I vote for ergonomics vs. looks. Guess that is what makes me an engineer. :-)
