non-OEM cases - nexstar 8 + base

I've need to get a case for my nexstar 8 SE. It doesn't have to be able to withstand an atomic explosion or worse, be airline shippable, but just sturdy enough to be able to grab it and chuck it into the car without worry. I've been looking at something like this:

http://www.chellis.com/catalog.asp?prodid=627269&showprevnext=1

The largest size can be had for around $125.00 and should hold the OTA attached to the fork/base, foam filled can be had also. Anyone try something like this? I really don't want to pay $375 for the Celestron case that as far as I can tell only holds the OTA anyways.

Any advice would be very appreciated, thanks!
