Jones, A Faraday cage requires no ground. It just requires a continuous metal box enclosure. The Orbo test would be simple. Put the Orbo and the phone inside the box with its charging cable connected totally within the box. No cables enter or exit from the box. Close the box for XX hours and see if the phone is charged when it is removed. Then close the box and keep the Orbo entirely within the box. Then do it again - over and over.
If you want to eliminate the possibility of energy gain from the outside, just don't let any cables go in or out of the box. Strictly speaking, you would also want to have a magnetic mu-metal shield around the Faraday box.
