Is this case a correct measurement for my telescope?

My telescope is a "Celestron Astromaster 70AZ".

http://www.celestron.com/astronomy/celestron-astro...

I really don't understand the measurements given in the site. Are they displaying the actual measurements of the telescope and tripod, or the lens? It's all very confusing to me.

The case I'm looking to get is this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Large-carry-bag-for-trip...

And these are the measurements of the case...

Size: 700mm(L)x130mm(W)x120mm(D) (27.6"x5.1"x4.7")

Circumference: approx. 500mm (20")

Diameter: approx: 150mm (5.9")

Design: zip open/close at one end.

Update:

Thanks Geoff!

    The length of the optical tube is 914 mm. The length of the case is 700 mm. So this telescope tube will NOT fit in this case: the end will stick out by over 200 mm (8 inches)!
