From what can gather wireless charging works well with thin, purely cosmetic type cases, or one that have included some kind of pass through. Not very effective, or in some cases not even usable, for heavy duty cases that protect the phone from any meaningful impacts.

If wireless charging didn’t waste power, and it does regardless of case use or not, I’d be all for it. Having to plug the phone in vs just sitting it on a charging pad isn’t very convenient, but the former is more efficient, and from my understanding better for the battery as well. Why better with wired? Wireless charging generates more heat in the charging device, and as long as we are using lithium ion batteries, less heat is better for the life of the battery.
