Smart Vest and Airline travel

I have the Baxter APX vest system and it did come with a "carry-on case." However, the case is larger than the maximum carry-on size allowed by airlines. It is 15" x 19" x 11". The 11" depth is the concern. Major domestic airlines have smaller depth restrictions. This case will not fit in the baggage sizer at airports. The airlines state their standard overhead bins will accommodate up to only 9" (Delta and American) or 10" (Southwest) depths. Depth under seats is less. Has anyone successfully stowed a case like this this that is larger than the maximum allowable carry-on size? Where is it stored if it doesn't fit overhead? Baxter (Hill Rom) recommends against checking in the baggage and I want to avoid doing that.

@peg492001
I have the exact same concerns. Were you able to take the vest system as carry on?
