The use is knowing your phone isn't sending or receiving a signal.

The value is anonymity with the option of being able to use it when you want. The true value is having a real "off" switch.

Despite the conspiracy theories, your phone already has an off switch.

And?

Doesn't mean this isn't of use, or that I'm reaching for a conspiracy. But a faraday cage to prevent communication might come in handy every now and again.
