This is a great joke. But I'm skeptical this will actually illicit any behavior change. I think a better approach is to try to change our current phone usage patterns. I've been working on a timelock wireless charger to do just that: https://pausbox.com/

What if someone needs to call 911?

It mentions integrating with your phone's do not disturb functions. Usually in an emergency someone will call you multiple times in a row and, presumably, this would open the shell.

And unless you live alone, which many don't, other people will usually have phones.

You can also buy a dumb phone specifically for emergencies, 911 doesn't require a paid line.

And like other's said, you can probably pry that sucker open. It looks flimsy honestly, with no lock or dead bolt connecting the two parts in the front...

These things are not high security safes. You can probably smash the damn thing easily if you really want your phone, an emergency bypass may even be provided for that reason.

But that thing looks somewhat expensive, and the idea that you may break it should be enough to keep you away from the usual distractions.
