Face down or face up

Do you sit your phone down or up? Reason I ask, I like mine face down to protect the screen.

And, stop thinking dirty, lol.
 
Face down for two reasons; it has a curvy back and I have Tasker set to turn the display off after seven seconds. No wobbling on the table and no need to turn it off.
 
Usually face up. Although at night I would put my N4 face down because the speaker was on the back, didn't want that muffled when my alarm went off in the morning.

My N6 is always face up. Got front facing speakers.
 
face up.. always.
unless I am with a girl.. to keep things simple. (who is that calling / texting this late at night???)

do you have a lot of things drop/thrown at you? is that why you are afraid to get your screen hit?

Not thrown at me and I don't drop my phone or drop things on it. Think it is an ease of mind thing. Just like my defender case.
 
Sitting at night watching tv I'll have it face up, when in bed sleeping I put it face down, but if I'm setting the alarm for early the next morning then I'll have it face up to turn it off quicker so as not to wake others :-)
 
Face up while awake. Face down while asleep. The notification light is rather bright and bothers my wife if the screen is face up.
 
I try and balance it vertically on the very narrow curved bottom.

That's the very same as me, but as I say my exception is when the alarm is set (2 days outta 14!)

I can turn off or snooze my alarm via voice activated commands. It's pretty handy when staying at a hotel and the charger is on the other side of the room.
