Using it as a carry on:

If the feet an handle where just a little smaller it would be, with out the wheels, within the 22"x14"x9" Standard however; it is only about 1/4" over... might be ok. The Pelican 1510 carry-on is a better choice if it will fit what you need. The big plus this case has is that its interior space is about 25% bigger than the 1510 and if you need that space this case may be an option.

Quality of the case;

The case itself is not as strong as I would like but I think it will be OK. The case is made in China and is low price at the cost of quality. The problem is that the Pelican case is not that much more and looks to be much higher quality. The hinges and fasteners are lower grade. The sides will flex with a little pressure, not sure how much weight they would handle but I would not stand on it. When you fill it up, so that the top foam is pressing against the contents, the lid when closed bulges and doesn't fit well to the bottom.

Pros

The big plus with this case is its interior space and removable wheels making it "almost" Carry on size. When you look at interior dimensions this case has the most space of anything that I could find that had a hard exterior and foam inserts.

I have uploaded some pictures showing the size.

we bought 5 of these as travel bags for a product our company sells. First time out one of them busted through on the sides and part of one of the locks broke off. The locking mechanisim is very flimsy. The interior packaging is very good but the case itself is pretty weak.

Honest reviews on Ape Case Medium Aluminum Hard Case - Grey/Black (ACHC5500)

The product came in and fit the description perfectly and at a very decent size for my needs. I needed a TSA approved box that will favor the security needs for airline travel and this Aluminum Hard Case will get that job done. The reason for 4 stars is because of the key quality to lock the locking latches are very easy to bend and overtime of use, it appears to bend in time. Another factor to consider is the lock latch itself is not enough lock strength however, once lock, the latch has a hole where you can buy an optional TSA combination lock for added security which appears it was designed to be that way.. The key lock isn't good enough for my concerns since I'm using this case for Firearms and weaponry.

One thing I loved was the pre-cut form for items you want to secure in with the shape of your device. Just simply press your device hard on the form so you can see the print and than push out the shape.... The result is you now created Foam space to fit your item in placement.

Overall very great box with the exception of low quality lock keys and having to buy combination locks to have the locking method to optimize locking security.

I needed a small sturdy case for air travel. This case subcompact case is excellent. It is surprisingly well made and locks 2 ways. It complies with air travel requirements and holds more than I planned. Pocket pistol, holster, 4 clips and spare ammo fit easily and snugly into the well padded inside. I don't think the gorilla throwing this around can damage it. I suspect all sizes are as well made as this subcompact one. I'll be buying other sizes in the future for larger pistols.
