Unhappy Sunglasses holder

Hi folks. I have my new NX200t for about 1 month only. So far so good, but... Where the heck to keep my sunglasses?

We have 9 year old RX350 in the family and it does have nice flip-out holder, just like any "normal" car/SUV. I do not want to store my glasses under armrest. It is not very convenient to reach in that storage bin, grab glasses case, open, etc., especially what I am driving. Have you guys found good and elegant solution for sunglasses storage?

Any advise is highly appreciated.

I use the little storage bin under the mirror that is right in front of the console. It isn't as good as the headliner mounted one, but it's not bad for small to medium size sunglasses.

I use this little pocket for miscellaneous junk, but I just checked and my glasses do fit there. Well... half-decent solution already. Thank you. Perhaps somebody else will have another one.

I just throw mines in the cup holder, always keep them in a pouch so no risk to get scratched. I don't like sunglasses holder, my wife's car has one don't use it either and I keep a spare of glasses on her car.

My wife keeps hers where the little mirror cover was. I keep mine in a coozie in the drivers door pocket. The coozie keeps it protected and it's easy to retrieve.

I use the driver door pocket as well, on top of a microfiber cloth. In the driver door cup holder, I have a obligatory CSX3 squash refill. Every time I put on my sunglasses, I have that fresh squash smell! With the microfiber cloth, I have it handy to wipe the lenses and the dash when it get dusty.

@bachelor, a coozie is a little insulated sleeve where you put your beer in
[EDIT] oops too late to reply, someone beat me to it.

My glasses are inside the sunglasses holder where the small mirror is. Don't like the placement, but I'll live with it.

This is where I keep mine along with a pair of fleece gloves.

The owners manual actually calls that cubby with the mirror the sunglasses bin and the mirror fits perfectly in the console tray for storage while your sunglasses are in the bin.

What about using one of those inexpensive sunglasses visor clips?
