What does 넣어 두면 mean here? Why not just 넣으면?

넣어 두다 is a very common grammar pattern in Korean.

• 넣다 = to put in
• 넣어 두다 = to put in and leave it there / put it in beforehand

So:

• 휴대폰을 넣으면 = if you put the phone in
• 휴대폰을 넣어 두면 = if you put the phone in and keep it there

In this sentence, 넣어 두면 gives the idea of doing it in advance so the result continues. It feels natural because the phone stays in the jacket pocket, which then makes your hands free.
