Btw, I found a good, cheap, carrying case. A plastic blueprint tube with screw on end cap and shoulder strap for $14. I found a place close to my work that had this in stock so I was able to walk in and try it out first. It's good fit and looks nice.
They sell it online for $14 which is about as cheap as you can get without using a cardboard mailing tube.

The model number is: Safco 3053

The tube can extend, but I found making it as short as it goes to be a good fit.
You can probably get something sturdier for $25+, but I couldn't bring myself to spend more on the case than the telescope.
