Keeping your reg and ins card in the same location as your personal protection equipment is a not-so-pretty-good idea, both for your safety as well as the stress level of any John-Q-law types who might ask you for those documents if you were to get stopped. That's just my opinion, having been on both sides of that type of transaction.

I just bought an A/C unit from Classic Auto Air. As part of their package, they provide a PLASTIC GLOVE BOX (shorty type used with a/c trucks)

Here it is next to a cardboard one that I got out of a now scrapped parts truck.

Unrelated, but he also made these under bed boxes out of sheetmetal.

I also like the bottle opener in the first picture.
