Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here's a pic of my Aura with the SD card. It doesn't snag on things. But since the SD card is on the bottom of the device and you often hold it at least partly by the bottom, you do have to be careful.
I will say, don't let it put you off of purchasing the device. I only popped the card out once, and it doesn't go rocketing out (the device wasn't built by Samsung), so you likely won't lose the card. You just have to figure out how to hold it. Purchasing a case alleviated the problem for me.
