That's is interesting! I have a newer (about 14 months) old Aura, in black - I have never felt the case was uncomfortable. I would not describe the back as little raised dots, just a slight texture. Not smooth, but not raised. I wonder if the case was not well received and was modified during the production run, or just a difference in perception. No problem with the squeezing the case either. I do use an off-brand sleep cover, not due to the feel, but I like the sleep function and protection.
I do love the size, and putting it in my pocket is pretty common.
Good luck with the back-ups!
