This bag is quite well crafted. You won't need to be concerned about the seams separating or about this snagging on something and shredding. It's good quality, flexible, and strong, and I have absolutely no concerns about the manufacturing. I do, however, wish there was a little more padding on the bottom. Although this bag shouldn't ever be placed "hard," I had hoped for a little bit more of a pad UNDER the telescope. And the one thing that really sticks out negatively—and the reason this high-quality item only gets a 4 instead of a 5—is that the pockets are essentially worthless once you put a telescope inside it with the stand. This is because they are spacious while still conforming to the bag. Think of a bowling ball that is snugly enclosed in a bowling ball bag. Now picture the bag as having pockets. When they fit the curved shape of the ball, what on earth could you stuff within those? It's a comparable issue. Although they are quite nicely crafted, the pockets are small. Not all of your lenses will fit in there. No way, and there isn't much else either besides pliable objects like books, etc. Oh, I adore that purse. adore it Furthermore, I'm not sure what they could have done about the pockets—maybe put lens slots on the INSIDE?—and to be honest, I don't know. like a toolbelt's screwdriver rack? Dunno. This gadget is sturdy all around. Do you need something to keep your scope safe? That's it. Just prepare to place some of the other items you had in mind for those compartments inside the bag.

I've had the same phone for more than two years, and some of that is because of this incident. Over a year passed after the initial cell phone purchase. The cover itself remained intact, but the small, diagonally striped patterns started to fade with time. That is why I purchased this one. My screen is protected when it closes. My phone's screen tempered protector, or whatever it's called, was absent for approximately a year and a half. Sincerity be told, it didn't even receive a perceptible scratch over the 18 months it went without one. I'd fling my phone across the space. I threw it once, and the person who caused it to hit the wall wasn't there to catch it. My phone experienced no problems. The white paint on the wall caused a corner of the case to turn white, but that was all.I really like this case, though. very robust And yes, at $48 it is a tad expensive. When I bought it, I believe that was what I paid for, but it was well worth it.

Just yesterday, the case was delivered. I hurriedly brought it inside, ripped open the box like the leg lamp in A Christmas Story, and discovered what I had anticipated: a really well-made telescope case with both soft and hard sides. I stretched the bag and its padding more than I felt comfortable with after opening the clam shell and cramming my Nexstar 6SE into the telescopic cavity, which, by the way, I had to shove in. All was well once the scope was fastened and the cushioning blocks were placed. The right angle corrector, AAA batteries, data and power connections, as well as a few other components, were all stored in the other half of the case. Although I would have preferred a little extra storage, given the size and weight of the telescope alone, keeping this end of the clam shell modest aids in totability. I closed the device, zipped it up, closed the velcro handle, and put the owners handbook in the side pocket before walking away to weigh it. Once more, it was heavy but controllable.Note: I am the one that traveled for two years with his scope still within the shipping crates it was delivered in. Discount or not, I have to admit that it was difficult to swallow at first. However, the case is amazing, and I hope that it will continue to please my thrifty tastes in the future.

This bag is decent. I struggled with packing it and was unable to find any advice online. I've therefore included images showing how I packaged it.1. Take away the tripod's mount2. Take away the counterbalances.3. To fasten the counterweights, use the two Velcro loops on the bag's largest end.4. Place the two substantial round tube clamps on opposite side of the counterweights, with the zipper-facing side of the counterweight screwhold facing up.5. Because the tripod's legs can be easily moved to accommodate the mount, place the top end closest to it.6. Position the triangle between the legs.7. I placed the tools, spotting scope, and eyepieces on the tripod legs after placing them in a little cloth tool bag.I positioned the scope in the middle of the bag's smaller side so that there is plenty of space on either end, which tapers down toward the bag's ends. This area serves as a great kind of mirror cushioning.Due to the Orion EQ 130's weight, the handles are long enough to be slung over one shoulder. With the counterweights positioned all the way at one end, it is slightly out of balance.Since it is not flat or balanced, you cannot place anything on top of it, nor would it necessarily stack properly on another object.I would advise Orion to provide a product similar to the Plano 1819 storage trunk with precut foam (I would not know where to get foam). To make the case more balanced, place the counterweights in the center.However, this is not a poor bag. Additionally, it's presumably simpler to transport than a stiff trunk.

Excellent for convenient accessory packaging and transportation. My partner and I initially appeared to be gypsies traveling to stargazing spots with a lot of luggage and small boxes until laying things out for access after buying my telescope. With this case, I was able to fit the entire Celestron eyepiece kit, along with all of the (mostly pointless) filters, a few extra filters, the finder scope (which was a pleasant surprise), the T-ring and adaptor for the camera, and I also made the decision to include the hand controller, which fits neatly in the largest compartment and the power cord that connects to the power tank. I have everything I need, then! In addition, if I so desired, I could definitely substitute the prism with items like a rocket blower and a red spotlight (yeah, those fit in neatly too). I now only need to carry this, the scope, and the tripod in its own bag, along with a power tank. As stylish as one of these things can be while still being lovely and sturdy, it functions incredibly well. Could not be more pleased.

For my Celestron Nexstar Evolution 8 I bought this. It barely fits the OTA and mount, as many people have wondered. The sides will bow out by about a half inch, but I have no trouble zipping it up. Storage in the top compartment is spacious and contains two sizable soft nylon pockets (Velcro flaps cover the pockets) with sewn-in soft nylon dividers — a total of 9 of various widths. The bottom pocket is 7" deep, and the top pocket is 9". All container openings measure 3" from front to back, and about 4 1.5", 1 2.75", 1 3.5", and 3 4" from side to side. It comfortably fits my laptop with room to spare. Very good, too. A sizable pocket for paper materials that is 11" wide by 11" deep is located on the inside of the flap that covers this compartment. This pocket is suitable for an ultrabook laptop. The contents are kept secure by a Velcro strip. Given that this is pricey, I do want to discuss the quality. First off, as another reviewer pointed out, there is nothing in this that is of particularly great quality. I would describe it as mediocre and definitely not worth the price. I would compare the quality to a cheap luggage carrier that can be purchased at any budget retailer. Amounting to about $75.00. Given the personalized touches, I'd estimate the item's value to be $150.00, which should provide Celestron with a respectable profit margin. I don't think the lining will last very long unless extreme care is taken not to snag anything on it because it is thin and loose. In fact, the liner is now damaged, 30 minutes after this came at my door. The Velcro that is used to close up the lining on this pad unintentionally contacted the lining when I was placing one of the pads used to protect the scope. I loosened it and tore the lining. It is constructed of a soft cloth that is almost the same thickness as an ordinary T-shirt. With the exception of the top closure, the outside is ridged. Nylon covers the exterior, which appears to be durable enough to withstand most things. A top and side soft nylon handle is attached by rivets and sewing. The weight of this case with my OTA AND mount inside would not be supported by either of the handles, in my opinion. They ought to be more than capable if you were only keeping the OTA inside. Although of moderate quality, the extensible ridged handle should last with care. The zippers are light-duty nylon zippers; they are not YKK or brand-named. Finally, it has a really attractive appearance. So, do I suggest this case? Well, the following factors led me to choose this case: The main reason I bought this was because it is meant to carry a telescope and mount along with a ton of accessories safely (although I won't put my EPs in this case). Vanity, I know, but it fits my Celestron telescope. The only alternative case for this scope that I could locate costs around $500, which is insane, but that one is appropriate for shipping your scope, whereas this one is not. The lining and perhaps the zipper, which are wearable elements, are the only significant disappointments I have with this case. If the zipper is broken, this item is all but useless. I haven't had a chance to test the zipper yet, so I can't say how well it will hold up. Returning to my advice, I would say that you are not getting your money's worth, but only because there isn't much else available for this price and with these characteristics. We hope that our review will provide you with all the information you need to make a wise choice. If it were possible, I'd give this 3.5 out of 5 stars. For the present asking price, Celestron should consider upgrading the lining and using a wider zipper, in my opinion.***UPDATE***I recently returned from a three-week, 4,000-mile car trip through the western states. I brought my telescope along, and it spent the entire trip on my fifth wheel trailer. I moved the case around the trailer every few days and removed the scope about six times. Even while traveling over miles of rough dirt roads, the scope was unharmed, and the collimation remained precise. I'm overjoyed. No harm was done to the case either. By loosening the clutches on the alt/alz mount and positioning the scope on its side rather than upright, I was able to reduce any stress exerted on it during transportation. I'm revising my rating to 4 stars, despite the fact that I still believe this is overpriced.

This one was ideal for me because it accommodates all nine of my eyepieces, two barlows, plus an improvised storage area for all of my filters. Although the foam for this case has already been cut, the cutouts for the foam were still there when it was received. That was ideal for me because I was able to fill one of the bigger spaces. I can simply remove that specific foam insert and cut to size if I add more equipment. The durable case is nice, and now all of my eyepieces are in one location.

The front clip is almost torn off, and some of the seams are a little rough and shedding, but overall it seems to be in decent structural condition.
