That was the most important thing for me to know, as I was sure that
the dust gets in because of the keyboard and huge space between
buttons and body.

My 49g+ and 50g has never receive dust in the display area, under the
protection cover, even when they have travel with me for many wild and
dusty areas. So if it is properly sealed you should not have any dust
on the display.

Well, I'm not sure about 50g (I dissasembled mine but don't remember),
but the 49g+ is covered (not perfectly sealed) with aluminium sticky
foil:

It is hard to get a dust particle, but it is possible.
