The angles are bad to judge (and it doesn't give any dimensional specs), but it LOOKS like its at least a little bit away from the wall (I'm going to guesstimate 1" or so?). Another reason I say this is because of the "hook with glasses." they appear to be free-hanging, so there must be some space. Any pull would be…

Ah, sorry, I assumed too much. Yea, I wish they were more prevalent here in America, since even chipped cards would be definitely faster than swiping (and as someone who operates a cash register on a very regular basis, a LOT simpler for the masses).
