I can see 2 problems with the E2XBag.
1. While it's in there, you won't be able to recieve incoming calls or text messages.
2. If you don't turn it off before putting it in there, the phone will constantly be trying to find a network, so you'll find your battery going flat in no time.
For the same "protection" that it offers, simply turn the phone off.
If you are worried about snarfing or bluejacking, it's very simple to set your Bluetooth configuration to hide the phone. In that way, only devices paired with it will be able to see it.
