Covering the Awrah While Reciting the Quran

Question
Is it obligatory to cover the awrah (the hair and hands) while reciting the Quran from the mushaf or from the phone?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Covering the private parts while reading the Quran is a matter of etiquette, not an obligation, and God knows best.
