I turn my stuff off. It's pretty easy. Then when it's all clear, I turn what I want back on. Do I think that my scary electronics are going to cause the plane to crash and burn? Probably not, but I don't need to be convinced of the necessity before I respect a simple request from the flight staff.
I also used to turn my phone off (not just vibrate-only) during exams in university. Yeah, I'm a sheep, I know...letting the system trap me within its arbitrary rules that need not apply to me specifically, watching the cage grow tighter and tighter until they won't let me breathe.
For now though, I'll turn off my stuff when they ask me to, instead of being a total prick about it.
