These Hemmotop cases come in various sizes from Amazon. They are a well made padded soft case with ballistic cloth exterior. I use mine for telescopes and tripods waytogo.gif

I have a Tenba TTP34 for my Astro-Tech AT115EDT. Works great, it’s a bit of a hybrid soft/hard case.

I also have a Hemmotop case for my tripod and I like that one too, though it has less protection.

+1 for the Tenba TTP34 if your scope fits in it. It works great for my 100mm f/7.4 refractor.

Just to double check, this is the one that fits the AT115EDT?

Yep!  Fits easily and I leave the dewshield extended.  Looks like this:
