hmm the internals of the TF10 might not be of the same size of the shures, so saying that it's empty because it's bigger externally than the se530 might not be accurate. also, it's not exactly much bigger, if at all. I don't have the se530 right now, but from what I remember of it, the TF10 is just longer, not bigger.
personally I don't have a problem with the housing (durability-wise), but I've yet to go past the 1 year mark.
