Does this come with a case?

No, it does not come with a case. I ordered this one: Celestron Hard Waterproof Case for CGE Mount/Pier and Nexstar 8se and 8i 302070It is expensive, but fantastic. It holds the OTA, fork, vibration suppression pads, diagonal, and finderscope all in one case. The roller feature is key as the telescope weighs alot and you want to roll it like a piece of luggage instead of carrying it. I have have checked the colimnation several time since I bought the telescope back in 2012 and I have not had to adjust it at all, which suggests this case is doing a great job of preventing the optics from being jostled. I highly recommend. No, it does not come with a case. I ordered this one: Celestron Hard Waterproof Case for CGE Mount/Pier and Nexstar 8se and 8i 302070It is expensive, but fantastic.

No, it does not. Celestron sells a case designed for the OTA. you can find it in celestron.com, telescopes.com, or Amazon. I know someone who has it and it is very nice. I bought a cheaper plastic box, cushioned it for the OTA.

A case is a must if you intend to move this scope. So many things can happen to it if you are not careful like bumping into a door jamb, etc. 99.9% of the time I only move the scope to and from the back yard. Even then I use a case. I got this one: Celestron Case for Nexstar 8/9.25/11-Inch Optical Tube (94004) which holds the mount and OTA. If you are going to travel around with it, you probably want to consider one with more padding and is waterproof.

No and I wish it did. I don't recall seeing one sold as an accessory either.

After a long search for a reasonably-priced case for my 8SE, I was walking through Home Depot one day and had a eureka moment when I spotted this... on sale for $60. It was the answer to my prayers! I recommend this to all... just keep the foam from the orig packing, or buy some and cut to your specs. Stanley 037025H 50 Gallon Mobile Chest

Jean, no. When I ordered my 8 SE, the case was a seperate item and a necessary buy in my opinion. It has saved me countless hours when moving the scope and undoubtedly, has protected it from unknown damage. If you are planning on buying such an expensive scope, protection must be a top priority. Hope this has helped you.

Unfortunately it does not. Love the product. A case or bag would've made the deal sweeter.

It does not come with a case at all. I bought a Husky canvas bag at the H-D hardware store for it.

No it does not have a case in the box but I see Amazon now has a case for it selling separately.

Yes it does come with a case and is an excellent instrument according to my daughter's band director. We would definately buy it if she ever needed one again in school but she has had it 3 years and it is still like new.

No, the one I received did not come with a case. It probably would be a nice feature, esp if you used it on a jobsite a lot. I keep it in my shop on my sander shelf. The more I use it the more I like it.

No, it does not and I have yet to find a case online, but being dust and water resistant I can live without one for the price.

No, the camera does not come with a case. We picked up an inexpensive Case Logic case that worked perfectly, though.

It comes in a box, but does not come with a case. I just keep it in the box, though.

Yes, a case comes with it......I've never heard of a situation where the instrument would come without a case.

In answer to your question, NO, there is no case. In spite of the fact it comes without a case, it is well worth buying this product. I bought it for my Husband and, he absolutely loves it, he really is Very happy with it!
