I don’t like Apple but it’s great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

Oh my god, wallet chains are going to make a comeback, but for phones this time.
Next: pants sagging so much I can see 4" of crack
ahh the 00s
Honestly you can get a lot done just by wrapping a rubber band or two around your phone, it’ll kinda catch and hold in your pocket and make it more notable if someone tries to pull it out. Works for your wallet too, and all without building a whole ass mousetrap for your pocket.
Oh dude great idea! Also if you did it with hair ties you could keep extra hair ties that way! (Albeit stretched out)
Velcro sewn to just inside the top of your pocket, so sticking a hand in your pocket makes a loud noise and you can feel it, for any pickpocket to separate the velcro.
Mouse trap phone case. It fulfills almost none of the requirements, but it’ll be satisfying when a thief gets snapped.
Decoy phone that is actually a tazer, real phone in underwear.
Don’t get them mixed up…
Yeah it’s great the first time it works but then you have to spend 5 minutes looking for and assembling all the bits and pieces to set it up again.
Also might wanna try to just bring a cheap phone you wouldn’t mind to lose just in case you do manage to lose it. Back up your data so if it does go missing you’ll have the memories.

Well phones are generally pretty good for taking pictures and videos. A pixel 4 or something is a pretty decent phone for example.
That’s a great idea! Thank ve thought about carrying a decoy wallet before, but a decoy phone is also a great idea
Cargo shirts obviously. Those zippers have a purpose!
Just a phone case with a retractable tether would work fine. Put it in your pocket. Tether is out of the way, completely invisible. Pull it out, tether extends enough to use it, and reteacs when you’re done. With a clip or strap, you can attach it to just about any outfit easily enough.
Realistically, if you have to have a phone somewhere like this where pickpocketing is likely, id suggest either a cheap phone you can lose, or keeping your phone in your hand/a hand on it in your pocket.
