    Padded case for Swaro ATM 80 ?

    I just bought a mint ATM 80 HD, and want a quality padded case for it...and not willing to shell out the cash for the Swaro stay on case. Anybody have suggestions for a ATM/ATS 80 case ? I see Celestron/Kowa/Opticron make them for their scopes, but not sure if they'll fit the Swaro.

    Swaro ATS HD vs non-HD ?
