Question about the Fractal Design Define R5

I am a newbie and just purchased the Define R5. I noticed that at the back there is a grill below the fan and above the PSU. I'm just wondering what the purpose of this is? Shouldn't it be covered otherwise it will allow dust into the case?

Here is a photo, the grill I'm talking about is middle right. Click here for example pic

Nope, most cases have this. As long as the air pressure is positive, no dust will come in.

In most scenarios you are sucking air through the lower front of your case and blowing out through the upper backside. Very very little dust would make it's way in there, especially because most of the time it's facing a wall or enclosure.

And FYI, I have this case too - it's awesome :)
