This world is probably going to end if people are neurotic about which direction they put their phone in their pocket.

If you're so concerned buy a case.

I keep it in my left pocket and use it with my left hand even though I'm right handed. Not sure why. Also facing out.

I didnt know people actually have a preference if they put their phones face in or out. i just slip mine in the pocket without thinking (maybe cuz i dont have a touch screen phone)

Didn't think about it until now, but I'm pretty sure I face the screen inwards. I'd imagine it helps a little bit with scratching the screen as well as it's already facing my ear when I pull it out and put it up to my head.

Out. I'm so used to the screen that I can turn up the volume/change tracks/pause/etc with my iphone in my pocket

Screen inwards because if I ever bump in to something cracking the screen is a million times harder that way. It's also easier to, well, use the phone.

I always put mine inwards and upside down, it's the only way that makes sense to me. Though I only got a normal cellphone no fancy iphones etc. if that matters.

Most of the time touchscreen out, but I won't remove it and put it in a different way just to get it right.

I have a Nokia e71, not a touchscreen but still, I do that with every phone.

Phones bulletproof and isnt a liability like some of these new big screen phones. IE sgsII iphone 4 etc.

i have a thin screen protector (no case) and don't every think about it. The only concious decision i make is to put my phone in the pocket opposite my keys.

In of course. If you face it out and walk into the corner of a table, you can break the glass, protective case or no.

Use a holster and keep the phone on your belt. Phones in pockets are for newbs.
