Ah, I understand now. The player's mini sits on top of their digital token. I've thought about doing that, but it never seemed worth the effort to me. Maybe it would be; I'll give it some thought.

I've found it very useful for, among other things, tracking conditions. We don't use the standard markers, as they tend to overlay and block the token itself, but instead use the additional numbered conditions that can be applied as frames or spots around the token. Now that we've gotten used to them, we can tell what's up at a glance.

Fast & Cheap - Pegboard or other 1" grid with clear vinyl on top of it.
Cheap - long sheet of fabric store marine vinyl, lay peg board over the vinyl, doting each hole with a permanent marker for a battle grid.
Fancy - Tabletop with 1" or 2" mosaic tile as a surface. Plexiglas sheet on top or clear vinyl tablecloth.

Pegboard should be available at a hardware store.

I mostly use the official tiles. For big battles they tend to slide about, so I use little balls of sticky putty to pin them down - which also means I can safely overlap tiles to create some really great looking setups (assuming I have time in advance to build them). A few months back Wizards' released some boxed sets ("The Dungeon", "The City", "The Wilderness") - each of which give you a more enough options.
I recently got hold of some Worldworks' "Terraclips" sets which have proven lots of fun out of the box, with no print/paintwork needed - plus they sit perfectly with the official tiles. I'm not 100% sure I'd recommend them (price + not enough common bits in a box), but they do make for a pretty picture!

I've got some terra clips, too -- love playing with them; but a lot depends upon what I'm running. If its for a home- grown game they would be very easy to use, but if I am trying to stay more or less true to a print adventure, it's hard to recreate that if it's wasnt designed to be created with the terraclips stuf. Still, very pretty and awesome to add some dimension to key encounters.
