I got one of these, it was brutal.

Switching cards was something like a 30 second process, which meant that instead of taking a card out, you had to open up the app, wait for it to load, wait an extra 10 seconds for it to connect to the Geode, then use the painfully-slow app. All to not carry a card in your wallet.

And on top of it - the two times I tried it at restaurants the card itself didn't work.
