What exactly is a TSA Lock? does that mean the TSA can't get in the bag? because I'm pretty sure that's not allowed...

TSA approved lock meaning TSA has the ability to unlock it with a master key however standard people do not have set keys. (Traditionally these are numbered combo locks so you know the combo, TSA can unlock to search and then close which re-locks it).

Right, OP said TSA lock in the title and this is not what I thought that meant, thanks for clarifying.

Is it even worth getting a hard shell with the way the idiots in baggage handle it ?

Doesnt seem like a great deal for a small carry on ?

I recently enough bought a samsonite tech 4 all poly for this price or less - more features and better build

and 2 piece 29 and 20 and 3 piece 29/25/20 all poly sammy's for $130's and well under $200 respectively

Not awful but deal ehh

For Weeks ebay and ebags had deals among others and constantly have sales where this is more like a standard price

When alaska air damaged my wife's samsonite framelock we got a check for its full purchase price and a $50 travel voucher for our trouble. Although that was her larger suitcase, she frequently checks in her carry on version and its never been damaged.

Thinking about pulling the trigger on this deal. Other than the price, are there other reasons on why I should wait on a better carry-on spinner wheels deal? Thanks!

Do most airlines let you bring this as a carry on with a backpack on the plane? I'm curious if I can put this in the overhead bin and my backpack under the front seat. Thanks in advance.

Yes I always have a backpack and actual carry on luggage, depending on where to.
