The phone (Galaxy S3) needs to be turned on & unlocked and the centre of the back needs to be within about an inch of the tag to activate. It seems like a decent security tradeoff.

I use an application that detects where I am and turns things off and on as required. Much better than waving your phone at a sticker.
