Is it soundproof? What if a phone records your conversation and just waits until it has signal to upload the audio to a server somewhere?

This is along the lines of what I was thinking.

What happens once the phone is removed from the case?

Edward Snowden recommended to his interviewers to put their cellphones in the refrigerator of his hotel suite in HK.

The sound is muddled to the point where it sounds like a conversation in another room while having a bunch of clothes piled on top of the mic.

Put your phone inside while it isn't powered off will make it increase the transmission power up to 11, draining the batteries in minutes. That's how it turns off everything - it drains the battery.

God, just turn it off (and remove the battery if you're over-careful)
