That's just pretentious. But I actually like the idea of a phone-check. What if it was a normal thing to choose to check your phone sometimes?

That’s the opposite of pretentious - it’s a fact if you don’t have a phone, not a pretence.

True, that wasn't the right word. Show-offy? Self-important? Conceited?
