I work for T-Mobile. Our demo phones came in today.

Increased weight? Its a whopping 10 grams.
Increased thickness? A whopping .2 mm!
Decreased device durability? Please show us any testihg thats been done to back up this claim. If you are referring to a glass back vs metal back, i would argue that a drop is a drop and whether there is glass on the front or the back, you risk breaking the phone. Which is why a case is always recommended, regardless of the material the back is made out of. A TPU or leather case will protect a drop better than no case, right?
Sounds more like you are struggling to actually find fault with wireless charging, when the fact is, there is none. I played with the phone today and i could not feel the difference between last years model and this one (other than the glass back vs metal feel).

Thanks. Good to know. Which is why it seemed so dreadfully slow charging on the pad today!
