Tom,
Have you looked at the Tamrac Superlight's? There is one particular model
that is thinner than rest, the 46. The others are probably too thick for a
rolling carry-on:

I have a Superlight 4 and a (since discontinued) Superlight 9. Just as the
other Tamrac's the Superlight's are well made, but lighter than other models.
