I ordered this thinking that the measurements given of 17.5" x 13" x 6.25" were the overall dimensions of the carry-on: however, that refers to the interior packing area. If you need to know what its exterior measurements are, they're 19.5" x 13.5" x 8.25" (based on the information provided with the item - I didn't try measuring it myself).

Overall, it seems to be a sturdy product: the zipper pulls were a bit stiff, but a little wax on the zippers should take care of that, nice outer appearance that doesn't look "cheap" (though if you open up the interior zipper to look at its construction, you'll know that not as much care was taken with its "bones" as with its "face") and wheels that look like they'll last a while.  The handle does take some space in the case's interior and may be a bit short for taller travelers (I'm under 5'5") so take that into account before purchasing this item.  It's lightweight at less that 6 pounds and handles nicely.  I'm keeping mine because it'll still small enough to fit under the seats of small planes and will do nicely for me on trips of 1-2 nights.
