You got the powermat from Bestbuy? I was very interest when I heard the news. Would you mind providing impressions? Is there a new custom battery cover for the back? New battery? How much bulk does it add to the phone?
I'm curious because I'd like to get it plus a spare mat (one for home, one for work). I'd also still like to use my fortte case with it, and I'm concerned if it added too much bulk (back, sides), it will no longer fit the case.

The product page is up on Powermat's website.

The specs say the max output current is 1A, output voltage is 18VDC. Don't know what that means, exactly.
It looks like the it's just a new battery cover, from the pic it doesn't seem to add thickness since the camera bezel looks to protude the same, and the kickstand is flush. I'm mostly concerned with the little tab at the bottom, I'm assuming it's plugged into the micro usb port. So how much does that tab at the bottom stick out? Can you still use the usb plug to say hook your phone to your computer, or do you have to remove the cover/tab to use it?

Found this review, from the pics, the backplate cover does indeed look thicker, the kickstand is no longer flush, but recessed instead. The micro-usb tab looks like it can be pulled out, but one would have to remove the entire backplate cover to plug the micro-usb into say a computer, or use the stock usb-charger.
