You've used the word 'deface' throughout this thread and I don't understand it. How is putting a phone in a bag defacing it?
You're making modifications to a physical item. ( http://www.dictionary.com/browse/deface )

So, during those times when you're "on call" and need to be responsive to such events, you have to make the decision not to go on camping trips or flights or no-phone events like this one. Right?

So is clapping part of the agreement when I go to a gig? Why is it wasting time playing to people who don't clap. Is he doing it for the claps? Why do I have to pay then?

I think the viscerality of this response is fascinating. Putting your phone in a case is a "prison", and you must check it every time you go to the toilet, and you're concerned about a terrorist attack -- enough to want your phone, but not enough to stay home, as if your apps could somehow save you. > Treat people like adults.
