You wouldn’t be able to use a Faraday case. The physics principle behind it requires it to surround the whole device which is being shielded.

The iPhone antennagate story would suggest that sometimes this isn’t the situation.
A faraday cage is different than your hand attenuating your phone signal
Attenuating RF is exactly what a Faraday cage does.
Though as you suggest, relying that would be a bad idea.
For some reason manually turning off RF transmission seems to have been ruled out, so we are looking for an unusual solution to the problem.
