It really doesn't make sense for them to make only 500 cases from the current mold if there is demand for more than that. There should be enough cases made for every person who wants one of these. The only difference between 500 and, say 2000, is that there will be a lot more people that are going to disappointed that they have to wait for another revision. OP seems to be one of the few companies, at least that I have ever encountered, that is seriously concerned about their customers. It would be a foolish mistake to say that only the first 500 people will even be given the option of choosing.
