Those of you who wear suits, where do you keep your wallet, keys, phone?

I put these things in my pants pocket and it just throws everything off balance

. What do you guys do? Should I just try a money clip and just have ID and a few bills? Throw the rest in the briefcase? 
 
Money Clip with ID and and Cards in the back right pocket
IPhone on the inside jacket pocket (Ive seen some older heads wear phone clips, not my style)
Keys in left pocket (Car Key + 2 keys for the house, i know some of you young boys have keys on deck looking like a janitor)

DO NOT put any of these in your briefcase unless you plan on guarding it with your life. Only put a cell phone in the briefcase if you plan on ignoring calls
 
lol this can become a serious dilemma at times.  Whenever I am not sitting, I usually put the phone and wallet in both back pockets so it doesn't bulge in the front.
and when I rock a suit, I remove all added accessories from my keys (bottle opener etc) so it's as slim as possible and I put that in my jacket pocket.

great question

You a locksmith or something?! Carry only keys you need, house and car, lose the otterbox case and put your iPhone in the "coin slot" of your pocket or inside suit jacket. Small wallet in your back right pocket. At least this is my philosophy.

get a slimmer phone. cut down on keys. only have ur car key and leave the rest of the keys in the car
 
phone should definitely go in inside suit pockets.  If wallet is trifold or billfold, should also go in inside pocket.  Keys depend on how much jingle jangle you're working with. Pants pocket is cool. I however usually put my keys on a hook built inside my courier/laptop bag.  That's a reliable place to put them, plus don't have to hear the jingle jangle.

Agree. Phones are generally slim enough not to bulge. But for a wallet, I just tuck it into my waistband. It is far more comfortable than pockets, and just the top of the wallet showing at the top of your trousers looks far nicer than "the bulge". Personally, I use a folding wallet, and put only one half in my waistband, so it is half the thickness again and even more comfortable. I ensure the side with coins and bulk is on the side that is out of my pants. 
 
Carry minimum everything in the interior jacket pockets.

Last night was phone in left, car key, Id, and CC in right
 
Wallet goes in my messenger bag most days. It is don't have that then inside jacket pocket. Keeping that or your phone in your pants pocket ruins the silhouette.
 
Depends on the suit i'm wearing. But usually I try not to have to many accessories.

Card holder that has my Credit/Debit/ID/$100 goes back pocket (button it), keys go left pocket, and right side has to be free due to my holster.
 
I wear a suit everyday to work and I don't own a wallet for this exact very reason. I only have a card case and a money clip. There's no need to keep my cash and my cards all in one place.

Card case- Back left pocket
Money clip- Front left pocket
Cell phone- Front right pocket
Keys- Inside my briefcase

When I'm listening to music on my iPhone, i'll usually keep my phone in my left breast pocket to have easy access.

You guys need to look into having a card case instead of a bulky wallet. It's a much better alternative IMO.

This. I just have a card case, its more than enough for me. If I need to have Cash I just keep it in my pocket or fold it up so small that it fits in the card case.
