I noticed my car doesn’t have a designated sunglasses holder. Wondering where everyone else is keeping theirs.
I had the same issue with my Venza… it bugged me that there wasn’t a holder for sunglasses. Ended up buying this organizer:

I just keep them on the shelf above the phone charging pad, so it’s still easy to grab my phone. I also tried these:

But I didn’t find them as handy as just leaving my sunglasses on the console shelf.

I bought that shelf too, but it’s a bit tight for my phone… I have a larger phone, and plugging or unplugging the cord is tricky unless I remove the shelf entirely. Now I keep my sunglasses there and plug my phone in perpendicular so it sits facing the shifter. Honestly, my only complaint is no sunglasses holder, and I wish the cupholders were a little bigger.
@Ameliascarlet
I have a Galaxy S23 Ultra, which is a pretty big phone, and it fits without problems. I don’t keep a cord in, though; if I charge, I use the wireless (even though it’s a bit slow and heats up). My XLE has wireless Android Auto too.
@Darin
Same phone here… I can fit it, but it’s so tight that I have to slide it in or out with a corner. Works, but it’s a bit frustrating. That’s why I ended up putting the sunglasses on the side and using the phone sideways.
@Darin
I also got the shelf, works for my sunglasses. Phone goes under it or in the cupholder if I’m not using it.
@Darin
I have the second one you linked and have it in both cars. It’s really easy to use and keeps things out of the way.
@Darin
Got the organizer too, works fine for me and frees up some space in the charging console.
I went with this replacement that fits where the handle used to be:

@Sully
Yes! I have a 2021 XLE too, and it works great, although it doesn’t fit larger frames.
@Sully
I use this one as well.
@Sully
Great recommendation… I installed it today, and it’s exactly what I needed. I have a shelf behind the screen, but I was worried sunlight would weaken the frames. This is the perfect accessory for my Venza, thanks .
Here’s where I keep mine in my XLE:
Love my Venza, but storage is so limited… like, do car designers know we carry bags too?
Here’s my setup for sunglasses storage:
@Cypress
I have something similar, works well.
I use this one for storage; it even has a cutout for the light sensor so nothing moves around:
Not having a sunglass holder is the one thing that bugs me about my 2024.
