The week before NAB is very hectic for these smaller companies. I would wait another week (NAB starts tomorrow) and email them again.

Hard cases from hardware stores.
They generaly don't carry bags.
If you want a nice bag, for a sub $100 price tag, check out local high end outdoor equipment/sports stores. Loads of bags to choose from, many with rollers and hard bottoms, with some extra foam could make excellent camera cases.

Oh, also, LowePro makes one video bag in the $60 range that will hold a DVX100 nicely, but not with a large matte box, I don't think. It might be called the Video 6, or DV6, or I might be way off. Anyway, it's relatively cheap. Just thought I'd throw that out.
