I saw a writer on Quora mention this little holder, so I grabbed one for my nightstand.  Why didn't I discover it years ago?

The little faux sheep lining protects my glasses from scratches with the hassle of a case that I must fumble for in the dark or when tired. The base and top are magnetic, so be aware that is how it is assembled once unboxed by you. If you have anything that must be kept away from magnets, just keep that in mind.

I have a metal base on my bedside lamp, so this holder actually fits on it and holds the position using the magnetic base. I love it.
