I don't know why you cannot find them. I did a quick search and found several dealers that report them as being in stock only minutes ago....

(Meade ETX-125 hard case) is all I used to find them..

Please post one of the vendors.

Every single vendor I called so far does not have them....
Go ahead...try.
telescopes.com
anocortis(whatever).com
opticsplanet.com
shoptics.com
etc.
amazon.com does not even link to any.

they say they will ship as soon as Meade fills order (which has been months reports several of the vendors)
Even EBAY does not have a single one. A few months ago you could pretty much be guarranteed at least three sellers offered them on Ebay.

Thanks for looking. Would appreciate a connfirmed link.

Telescopes.com showed it as being in stock when I sent the message. Now it does not.

I bought one about six months ago and it is a nice case. It is a little tight fit with the new LNT module, but seems OK. When I ordered mine it did take about 3 months until Meade had enough orders to have a batch built.

If you want a confirmation that Meade has not discontinued the product, check with them directly by phone. The number is on their web site.
