This little micro-arms-race to develop and patent a plastic wedge that doesn't need to exist in the first place is ridiculous. The irony is that there is something of a perverse incentive not to solve the actual problem now that such a big industry has emerged to to combat it. If they wanted to build secure card payment terminals they would build them.
