I risk people jumping on my case about this but, I keep my cell phone in my pocket. (I do not subscribe to the idea of talking on your cell phone even hands-free while riding.)
I wear 5.11 cargo type pants and there is a special pocket for cell phones that works perfectly. I can post a picture if you so desire.

You have the right idea, IMO. Distracted driving, especially on a motorcycle, will get you killed or injured. My phone stays in my pocket when I'm riding.
I personally don't like a lot of extra crap on my bike, so I keep my cell in my vest pocket. If somebody wants to talk to me,. they can do so when I've stopped riding.
Jeez you guys,are slow today...i think the guy was talking about the bike and not actually looking for cell phone holders...maybe I'm the dumbass lol. In any case nice bike
I keep my phone in my pocket....however I have it set up so I can blue tooth music to my Cardo headset while traveling. Don't answer or call out while riding, same as I don't while driving car/truck. You want me, leave me a message. If you call and don't leave message, I may not return!!! Also use phone for maps, but not as a gps. But...people can do what they want.
I once saw a biker who was riding with his head cocked hard to his shoulder.....yup!!! He had his cell phone tucked between his ear and shoulder, talking while riding his bike. Whadda dumbshit!!!
"Phones" aren't just phones anymore. Anyone can do as they like, but swearing off of using a smart phone for something other than a phone or text machine is a waste of money to my way of thinking. Many bikes in the Harley line, including the Road King and some Softail models, require the rider to look down at the gas tank to view the speedo, taking every sq. inch of your view of the road out of your field of vision. Ridiculous. I use a digital, GPS-based speedo app on my phone that stays right in my field of vision. The app also has several other functions that can be used in the background, causing no distractions whatsoever. If you call a speedo a distraction just because it's on a phone instead of encased in chrome on your gas tank, well, that just doesn't seem very well-thought-out to me.
Underneath the speedo app, I have a dashcam app running every single time I ride. It runs totally in the background and doesn't require any hands-on attention until you're home retrieving the recordings. Get in an accident out on a country road and the likelihood that you'll have good, reliable witnesses to say in court exactly what happened is close to nil. Run a dashcam and you always have a witness. Run enough cameras to cover every angle of attack and you've got four or more witnesses, and none of 'em cause distractions of any kind.
To the OP: Hopefully you'll be using your phone for duty other than talking/texting, and if you are planning to, pay no attention to anyone trying to give you advice that a smart-phone has no useful purpose while riding.
