I don't think you can get shipping materials for your optacon. I used boxes I still had from when my optacons were shipped to TSI; they are no longer here, so next time I will just use a good, sturdy box. Richard suggested to me that if a vinyl soft pack isn't available, just get a back pack or case for a lap top PC and use that. The size won't be right, but the padding inside is much better than an optacon soft pack with dried-out foam that gets all over the place.
