I did it quite often with my last device, but I just wanted to make sure if it's bad for this one.

Leaving a Lithium battery at 100% does shorten its life. I usually try to charge my batteries so that they reach full just before I need the device. With the type of battery in most phones the shortening appears to be less than what is often used in laptops.
I know that my 920 gets quite hot when on the wireless charger. On the pad for a couple hours gets the screen to ~32?C (90?F) and the back to ~41?C (106?F) according to my IR thermometer. In contrast, charging with the supplied wired charger the screen gets to only 25?C (77?F) and back to ~27?C (81?F). While this temp is within spec for most Lithium batteries the higher temperature causes the electrolyte to degrade much faster than at lower temps. The higher temps will cause the battery life to shorten much faster than sitting at 100% for the same time period.
