I bought the wireless charging case when it came out (to replace a case that I drowned) and it is too soon to conclude it is ‘better’ at making good contact. So far so good. Physically they are nearly identical except the charge indicator is on the outside where you can see it when placing it on charging pad or plug it in.
It is annoying when in-case discharge happens; but they re-charge very quickly.

Thanks for the tip. I do clean with a q-tip on occasion, and it didn't doesn't seem to help. I also tried rubbing alcohol once, but I thought I read not to use it. The Apple website doesn't mention alcohol. When I asked Apple support, they said do what the website says. I'll give alcohol another try. I'll try asking Apple again how to clean them when I take them in next time.
For me, having to clean them after every use will prevent me from buying them again.
Although they do recharge quickly, when I want to use them, I don't want to wait while they charge.
And again, I do like them.
