Screen facing in, not in fear of scratches or anything. But because when i stick my hand down i pull it up facing the right way. So i can easily answer it or do whatever.

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.

You could sleep 8 hours a night in a bed of cellphones that were on and you wouldn't experience any negative side effects besides a little bit of soreness from sleeping on hard things. Relax, your cellphone isn't gonna kill your testicles.

I normally have it faced screen out so i can see what time it is\ who texted me without taking it all the way out, but before I go to a concert I change it to face in to lessen the chance that my screen gets cracked in an epic mosh or while crowd surfing.

With the screen in, sometimes the motion of me walking around will unlock the screen and I'll send half a dozen gibberish text messages to someone.

But my case is asymmetrical and only rounded on one side... If I put it screen out, there's a giant fucking rectangle sticking out of my pants which would otherwise be mostly invisible.

Why, gods?!

I've had a touch screen phone for a very long time (Treo Line -> Android Phones), and I'd pretty much never put any thought into it. I do put it outwards these days, but It's entirely because of Winamp for Android, which allows you to change songs on the lock screen. However, the buttons are large, and there's enough contact through the thin pocket to leg to sometimes change songs or pause while I'm walking, astonishingly enough, so I keep it facing outward to stop it.

Otherwise, I've never thought about it.

Maybe you should wear some anti stabbing protection gear instead if that worries you

Screen facing in! But then again I have a HTC Legend - the ones where the bottom is angled, so it contours to by leg better by having the screen face in. Upside-down, too.

In for me, feels like it protects the screen a bit more, same for my gf.

I usually put it in my shirt pocket, if not, in my backpack or briefcase, and only in case none of these options are available, facing inward in my pocket, since the phone is a little curvy, so feels more comfortable to use that way.

Diddo.

Plus, do people know that the screen on the iPhone 4 is virtually impossible to scratch? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure if you're dedicated enough you can rough it up, but everyday use should not hurt it. There's a reason Apple doesn't sell screen protectors. It's cause you don't need 'em.

I guess you can have it screen-in if you're worried about walking into the corner of a table or something, but these things are tough to break. You're far more likely to break the weaker glass on the back of your phone than the screen.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

Facing in. I've broken a screen before, never again.

As for the "absorbing heat" aspect, it's kind of nice having a toasty phone on your face. Like putting warm underwear on right out of the dryer.
