Anecdotal evidence aside, what do you think is more likely, someone expecting to get phone reception when their keys are next to their phone or someone expecting to get reception when they're swimming in a pool? That's what I was responding to. Plenty of people are gonna have their keys and their phones in the same pocket, not everyone is a phone geek. Get a screen protector, throw your phone in your pocket and go. That's what most people do, they don't obsess over silly things like keeping their phone separate from everything else.
Clearly the more ridiculous statement here is me saying that most guys keep their phones and keys in the same pocket...
