2. Someone needs to make

A Faraday phone case of woven copper. Nothing gets in, nothing gets out.

When in the case, all signals are blocked, when you want to use your phone - take it out and use it. Obviously this is worse case scenario option but if you don’t want your phone tracked this would work without taking the battery out of the phone.
