Although the set looks amazing, the shell is pretty thin and the inside is very spartan. My girlfriend had given me an old hardshell case of hers and, even though it was pretty dated, it felt a lot more solid.
First of all, the set uses zippers instead of a latch. I guess there's less chance of it breaking, but it just seems cheap. The hardshell case is pretty flexible. It will probably stand up to a decent amount of abuse, and because it's flexible it might actually take it better than a harder case... but in general it doesn't make it feel very durable.
The internals are spartan at best. Just some tie-down straps. No compartments. I guess that's to be expected in a set of luggage like this.
Also, the sizes are a bit off. The big one is very big, the middle one is a little small for a multi-day trip. The little one is really small. Maybe overnight, 2 day if you pack light.
Overall I'm not super happy with this purchase, but it'd cost too much to send it back. Oh well.
But it does _look_ nice!
