    I owned a cosmic black and lunar shadow m11x from the past but I want to know if the soft touch on the m11x r2/r3 is on the entire body of the m11x or just the top lid?

    i own a m11xr2 black. my soft touch is on the top screen lid and on the left/right sides. keyboard top seems to be a textured plastic and the bottom panel is a flat smooth plastic.

    Both of the bottom access panels that I've had on my R2 have been soft touch.

    Yep on mine the sides and the bottom panel is soft rubber finish, And why i didn't say lid is because my refurb came with glossy lid instead of soft :( But than again i was going too buy a skin off amazon which they have nice ones for it which i don't think you can do if the lid is rubber because it wouldn't stay on too good.
