Hi Scott,
That device is called a 'Tremble Switch'. It's a good start but I think
you'll find a 'pendulum' form is more effective. You can pick them up from
any pinball repair place, they're the thing that says 'Tilt'.
Most of these are binary but you can replace the (usually metallic) sensor
ring with a non-conductive material and then put contact on it (ie glue
copper strips) and you'll get not only front/back but whatever sort of
resolution you need.
