Under your heading 3) I'm just wondering how long it is before someone makes a copper coated metal tin just the right size for each make of smart phone. Just open the lid when you want to make a call or 'sync' with your network of friends.

Could be fun if it went viral. Could even have pictures of your favourite politician on the lid, Theresa May for the UK model I imagine.

If it became normal to put your phone in a Faraday cage while not making a call, no one would answer calls, and there would be no point in making them :).

An added benefit :-)

Seriously: observation on my daily commute suggests that actually making phone calls is a minority use of the mobiles that people spend all the journey stroking and looking at.

Public transit is an inappropriate place to make a voice call. People still do it at home all the time.
