It isn't how many times you can get the mechanism to work, it's the
alignment of the lens elements. Those lens elements are going to have
relatively small diameters and axial alignment tolerances have to be
very tight to keep performance from going down the toilet. Let's not
forget this has to be mass produced and still has to be cost competitive
in its class. Who ever buys this camera will be paying for that flat
storage feature in more ways than they imagine.

1000 times is a picayune goal! I seriously doubt that it closes with a
SLAM! It undoubtedly eases up, in and closed, and gently settles into
it's dock, nice and snug...
You ought to get 100,000 cycles or more out of a gentle motion like that!
