I use mine only for my glasses. My day, night, yellow...whatever. But only glasses. They are the one item I don't want getting scratched up and banged around by all the junk I carry in my saddlebags.

Lock, bike papers (insurance, registration, etc), throttle boss for longer rides, rain gloves (cheap ones that look kinda like dishwashing gloves), clear safety glasses for night or any sort of reduced visibility riding; and, it's on the forks.
