The Amazon Prime is a pretty flimsy metal, easily the most flimsy of the three metal cards in my wallet (Capital One Venture, Chase Amazon, and AMEX Platinum for Ameriprise).
Not sure why Chase opted to have the Sapphire Reserve at 13g but the Ritz at 28g, and the JP Morgan Reserve at 27g either.
I like the idea of metal cards because they're more durable than the traditional plastic ones. I also think they should be reserved for those cards that cost $450+ a year and should also be made heavier than what most issuers are giving out right now (besides JPM Reserve and Ritz).
Personally I like to have a solid feeling card and not some flimsy plastic card if it costs hundreds of dollars a year.

I remember when AMEX came out with Blue, and everyone thought it was so cool looking with the translucent card and metallic blue square. The novelty wears off rather quick.
I've had an AMEX Blue since last November and I still think it looks rather cool... Definitely one of my favorite cards in my wallet.
