About the JMI Telescope Carrying Case for Refractors...
The JMI Telescope Carrying Case for Refractors includes crush-resistant die-cut foam contoured to safely hold your telescope during transport. The larger cases are manufactured by JMI with 1/4" plastic for super-strong but light-weight support. Most cases include an extra handle on one end with wheels on the opposite end for easily maneuvering the case without lifting the entire weight. These attractive and efficiently-designed cases are substantially smaller than the original shipping box and even smaller than most soft cases. They protect your investment while making it easier to move your scope from one location to another.
The JMI Telescope Carrying Case for Refractors includes two lockable latches, three steel-reinforced handles, a 2" by 48" steel hinge and die-cut foam lining with compartments for telescope, finder scope, eyepieces and accessories. For the Celestron scopes the diagonal must be detached and inserted in a specially designed space in the case. The Meade diagonal may be left on.

Our carrying cases are manufactured with exact-fit die-cut foam to hold the telescope as securely as possible. They can, however, be used for telescopes other than those for which they were designed. The following information is provided to help you make a decision about purchasing a case for telescopes not listed above:
Inside Dimensions
A = 49-1/2 (50" with pullout)
B = 8-1/4"
C = 6-1/2"
D = 10"
E = 9"
F = 6-3/4"
G = 9-1/4"
H = 17"
I = 17"
J= 15-1/4"
This case should hold 6" f/8 and 5" f/9 refractors fairly securely and smaller scopes with a little extra space. The following refractor telescopes should fit inside the CASEREFR with some extra space:
Orion 120
