Ordered the Cley Spy case from the UK because I thought it looked like a great accessory for my ED50 scope. When it arrived, not only was the quality far below what I expected for $80 (shipped), when I put the scope in it I found that the opening for the focus knob interferes with the focuser. the result is that the smooth focuser of the ED50 is converted to a binding, catchy affair that's difficult to move with one finger. I've made two attempts to resew the opening to give a bit more room, and have only been able to get it to be barely satisfactory. Really, test the design before you send it off to be manufactured. Keep the case away from the focuser - there's no need to go anywhere near it!
Bottom line - I wouldn't recommend the Cley Spy stay-on case for the ED50 - even at 1/2 the price.
