I really Like this  as a carry-on.  Plenty of space with this and my personal item to for a 5 day business trip without having to check luggage.

Have taken this on several trips, and haven't noticed any signs of wear and tear.  I would recommend this to anyone.

***I will say this though - the airline I fly on doesn't really use the bins to measure the size of carry-ons.  This fits in the overhead bin either laying flat or on it's side (in the bins that are built for that)  BUT - for the airlines that use the box to measure - this is slightly over-sized for the box.***
