How (and where) is an "approved ATA case" defined?

Exactly. Which is why I prefer to make my own, it'll be better than
what I can buy - and if I know the dimensions I'm working to, it will
also be smaller. (I have been making and using my own instrument
cases for many years, but they've all been clearly inside or clearly
outside the carry-on limit before now, this is the first time it's
been an issue).
As I said, the crunch for me is the length. Does any airline anywhere
restrict carry-on to something less than 22"? Anything less than that
requires a different design.
