Sounds like you had a unique PRS-350. Mine has an anodized aluminum front, and a plastic back with a rubitone texture. No random thin grooves.

The 650 is all aluminum, but the 350 doesn't feel cheapened. In some way's it's the nicest - the screen is super clear, and it's a very comfortable size. I'm fond of it and glad that I bought it.

If you want something that looks and feels cheap, compare it to the Nook Classic. LOL!
