Ace stay-on case for ATX 85 (1 Viewer)

Hello all,
having purchased an ATX 85 at Birdfair last weekend, I wish to protect it. But having dropped close to £3k on a new scope, I would like a cost-effective case.... The price of the Swaro is around £195.... However, I've found that Ace sell one for half that price. https://www.aceoptics.co.uk/swarovski/stay-on-cases
Does anyone have one of these? And if so, what do you think of it? Alternatively, do you know of any other makes that work well and aren't overpriced? (I must say, I like the anonymity of the Ace).
Thanks v much for your help.

Thanks for this link, Bill.
Having read this very thorough review, I think I'll buy the overpriced Swaro instead....
I had bought the Ace Optics stay on case the other day and received it yesterday morning. It was poorly made, with no protection on the inside of the zips (so it could mark the scope) and plastic clips. The thing also fitted dreadfully - so I sent it back this morning. I suppose sometimes you get what you pay for. I've now ordered the stay on case for the ATX made by Swarovski!
