Gorilla Glass protection at the back of the lid? (S7-391)

Hi everyone!

 

This is more a hardware concern and it will help me to take better care of my ultrabook (Acer Aspire S7-391).

 

1. Is it true that the screen glass is protected with Gorilla Glass 2 technology to protect the touch-screen?
2.  Is it true that the back of the lid (where the luminous "Acer" logo is) is also protected with Gorilla Glass 2?

 

I ask these two questions because i think i read it somewhere but i can't remember where, that the touch-screen is protected with gorilla glass 2 but also the back of the lid, so it won't get any scratches.

 The thing is that if this isn't true, i need to know it ASAP so i can cover the back of the lid with some special protective and transparent skin and maybe a cover.

 

Thanks in advance.

"Radically thin, supremely strong, scratch resistant and easy to clean: White Gorilla® Glass 2 makes the beauty of the 13.3" Aspire S7 Series gleam at an ultra-thin 11.9 mm."

 

Notice the referencce to WHITE Gorilla Glass referring to the otuside. Somewhere else on the site it talks about choosing between white gorilla glass and aluminium (the 11" version) styles.

 

As for the internal side. It definitely feels and sounds (when you tap it) like glass to me. Whether its gorilla glass or not, it is glass. I wouldn't put a protector on it as unlike a phone, it isn't rubbing against pockets with grit in them or anything like that. It won't scratch with a fingernail etc. Protectors that size are hard to get on without bubbles and may interfere with the clarity of the screen.
