Mine came with the OTA which I bought used. I think new ones are quite pricey. Here is the website http://www.casesandcovers.com/

The bag that I have is canister shaped and of just the right size to fit the OTA perfectly. I have used it to bring my OTA as carry-on luggage without any problems.

I got a quote from Pacific Design for the above Mew180 custom made padded case, it's US$85 plus shipping. Anyone else interested to joint order (mew/cat/newt/refractor owners)? just pm me the dimension you want and i'll check with them the pricing (padding thickness is around 10mm).
