If I were explicitly asked to turn it off, I would, because it is never in your best interest to give a stewardess a reason to report you for misbehaviour. I have yet to be asked, though. Sometimes I hold it inside a magazine so it would take a close look for anyone to figure out what it is, other times I don't bother. The only times anyone has commented on it, it's been "what is that, how cool, where do you buy it" and a couple of times "aren't they great, I have one too."
