That and for smuggling food into a theater.
I recently went from a George Costanza wallet to a billfold, but I always keep my wallet in my front right pocket or jacket pocket. When weather permits I tend to always wear a sports coat when out, which has beig enough pockets for both handhelds and a wallet.
I don't do the back pocket wallet thing.
I was waiting for someone to make the Costanza joke haha.
I keep my wallet in my back pocket only when I'm upright/walking around. At work I toss it in a filing cabinet and while I drive I stick it in the center console. I don't like the feeling of anything digging into my ass.

This is essentially what I do. It's rarely in my back pocket when I sit down but it's there all the time otherwise. Phone's in the front right and anything else (like a GBA SP) in the left.
my 3ds is in my pocket right now. My DsiXL use to be in my pocket daily, until I got the 3ds. It fit find in the pocket of my suit and tux pants, it is really not that big. Now I do wear carpenter jeans, so that would explain why it fits there as opposed to normal jeans.
My wallet is in my back left and I have a deck of cards in my back right.

Yes, all of the US posters generally mean what you would call a handbag. Also hardly anyone here uses a coin purse. I have a little leather one and a rubber giveaway one (Shippham's or something) that my English grandfather gave me, but I never got in the habit of using them.
I did the theater purse smuggle just last week. I only started to carry a purse again with in the last few years or for movie trips. You can spot me most times rocking a messenger bag or yoshi backpack. I carry my money in my front pocket along with my pen knife if i have to go to a bad area to pick up games, i carry a extendable baton in case of emergencys i.e. mugging/pitbull attack .
All hail the GB Micro - best pocket-sized gaming system around! The previous GBA model was pretty good too and is probably more comfortable for many people, but I'm more than happy swapping down to Micro size.
I don't hate the size of the 3DS, although it's the absolute upper limit that I am willing to carry with me. Being a clam-shell design is a real boon since I don't feel like it needs a case to prevent scratches/damage.

Yeah...I usually carry my 9mm in my front waistband when I go to pick up video games from people on Craigslist regardless of where I am picking them up. I also keep a very sharp hunting knife in my boot and a cyanide pill in my mouth just in case. I usually leave the nunchucks in the car, however...
[In all seriousness, cookie, you be safe...I have walked away from more than one Craigslist pick up because I just had a bad feeling about it.]
