If you must go electronic, I'd go with the Helite E-Turtle. $30 refill and you do it yourself. And it comes with a full size CE level 2 back protector.
But I'll be sticking with my tether.

I have one of these Dainese air bag vests and will never ride without it. It's a fantastic design and I have seen examples where it has saved riders from much worse injury. Yes, wear a good helmet and armored gear, but this safety vest will give you far more protection for those unexpected accidents that could cause significant damage around your torso and back.

Think of the cost of a night or more in the hospital. This air bag vest can surely prevent some (not all) those occurrences.
As an experienced rider (30+ years) I am an ATGATT advocate (all the gear all the time) and highly recommend this airbag vest, certainly more so than the tethered ones, which are not programmed to account for different accident scenarios.

Are you sure this will save my life?
You sound like someone who rides with a t-shirt and shorts with flip flops and a bicycle helmet.
In that case, yes it will save your life at 30 mph where you may be dead going 30 mph at a school zone.
No it won't save your life at 100mph+ driving like an idiot.
