Edit curious if this depends at all on which pocket you keep it in and whether you're right or left handed. I'm right handed but I almost always use my phone with my left hand and keep it in my left front pocket.

Screen facing inwards, but certainly not for fear of being stabbed.

Always have the screen facing inwards. Just in case I end up walking into like the corner of a desk, won't run the risk of breaking the screen. Samsung Galaxy S II, no protection. Did the same with my Galaxy S for a year and never had a scratch on it.

Screen facing in, in the event my leg bumps into something, I won't crack the screen.

Screen in. My butt should be softer than anything I'm sitting on (bench, etc). I want my screen touching softer things, not harder things?

My phone lives in my back right pocket as a datapoint.

If you spend 10-20 dollars on a nice protective case/screen it shouldn't matter which side you put it in, everything will be protected =)

I have broken 3 screens on my phones, all when i had my screen facing out, and i had a good case.

I have sense started placing screen inside and am 9 months without breaking the screen.!

My Droid X is my third touch-screen phone I've owned and I have never had any scratches on any of my phones (I also never use cases; what is the point to a nice well-designed chassis if you're just gonna muck it up with a stupid case?).

The key is to make a habit of not putting anything in the same pocket as your phone. That includes keys, coins, wallets, or even another phone. Personally I keep the phone facing out because in most of my jeans, the denim follows down at least halfway into the pocket and denim is a coarser fabric than the inner cotton pocket.

The only phone screen I ever broke was the Palm Pre which was known to break just by dropping it once.

Galaxy S is a really sturdy phone. Granted I have an otter box on mine but it does not have a single scratch on it going on a year now. Just keep your phone separate from anything else like ...keys coins or other stuff and it wont scratch.

Screen facing in. Just buy a good case and you'll be fine.

It shocks me that his biggest worry is protecting the screen, rather than how the emissions from his phone affects his sexual organs. Don't keep your phone in your front pockets.

used to care but now its just which ever way. made no difference.

left pocket for phone, right pocket for everything else (keys, lighter)

one thing i did notice is that when the phone is facing in towards my thigh, it would press button on its own.

In, for the sake of convenience and protection. More chance of screen damage (e.g. getting scratched by something I brush my leg against) if I face it outwards. Wallet and keys go in the opposite pocket for the same reason.
