Why No Camera Style Bag for Telescope Accessories?

The Televue is Okay. But I'm really talking about something that looks more
like a small camcorder bag, or a tamrac or nova camera bag - top
compartments would be for eyepieces. Side pockets for Rigel, filters etc.
lower zippered pocket for Argo Navis, etc. The bag would rest on shoulder
while you opened it, and handled the eyepieces (can't really do that with
the Televue.
Seems like someone should be able to design one of these for amateur
astronomers.
I'm still looking for a case for my little Nexstar 114GT, and have come to
the conclusion that a hard case (not necessarily a Celestron one--maybe a
job box from Home Depot) with foam lining is the way to go. Reason: to keep
the scope in collimation. A soft bag might be OK for a smaller scope (80
mm) or binoculars.
