No, the ascending and descending parts are exactly where my hoodie pockets are.

The large intestine is fairly deep in the abdomen, there’s a lot of tissue and mass between a hoodie pocket and the colon.
One side of it will be shielded by approximately double the mass, when compared to the one closer to the pocket where the phone is usually stored.
