If OP's question relates to basic economy restrictions, they don't actually stop you from using the overhead, they just won't let you carry-on a bag that exceeds the personal item dimenstions. I don't know how much play there is in the sizer, but 3.75 inches is a pretty significant overage.
Good point! I never actually checked those numbers.
I stand corrected :-)
