Nope. I also don't want encrypted bits to stand out.
These days just about everyone with an iPhone has a fully encrypted device that the seem to have no problem using and managing on a daily basis. I guess some companies aren't up to the challenge.
If someone else has control of your keys, your device effectively isn't encrypted.
I've been using crypto since PGP2.1. I don't seem to have issues with it.
