Greg, you got a great deal for your 16GB!
I was
very fortunate to get the 32GB Acer A500 for $230! But I spent 17 agonizing days wondering if/when Best Buy was ever going to deliver my original order for the 8GB Acer A500!
I ordered it on November 27. Several weeks passed with no word regarding delivery. I was
trying to be patient, as I knew that a lot of other customers were similarly affected. Several times I was very tempted to just cancel my order, but I knew that I wouldn't find a similar deal elsewhere so I waited. Best Buy didn't notify me that they were unable to obtain any more of the 8GB models until December 14, when they sent me an email to offer the 16GB or 32GB model as a substitute. I called them immediately to order the 32GB (of course). Both models were showing as "out of stock" not long after I requested mine.
By the way, did you ever find a TPU/silicone case that fits well? I really like the case that I have; it does protect well. I have a silicone cover for my Kindle and it really does help with grip without adding much weight, so I would consider one for the A500 too.
