I wanted, and have, the non-locking glove box doors for exactly that reason.  Got them from e-glide goodies http://eglidegoodies.com/id133.html.  They're easy to open even with gloves, but they're spendy--$200 for the pair.  Those magnetic ones look like a pretty good deal, especially when it eases that burning feeling in the pocket area.

Let me just say $200.00? For those? Really? WTF... They look OK and I hate the snaps myself but $200.

That seems to be the going rate for 'em.  HD version is almost as much  http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/gma_product.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524448772559&default=none

Somebody on this site developed a set too, but I can't find the thread.  Perhaps dOOd will come to the rescue.

Found the thread about pj57 and his locking GBDs, but still no sign of non-locking type:

Yeah, it's steep, but that's what I've said about many of our accessories...like a $400 license plate bracket...luckily, this isn't a totalitarian country yet, so we all get to decide what we want to spend our money on.

I'm thinking it was in the proto-type stage.  spyder

I didn't mean to imply that I wouldn't spend that much money on them or that you shouldn't either, because I would. It just struck me as being a little high priced for what it was. IMO a lot of the stuff we buy for our CVO's should already be standard equipment anyway. It's all a matter of choice.

Are the hinges made of gold?!!!  Sorry, $200.00 for a set of glove box doors is freaking insane.

Put the magnetic ones on tonight.  Think I might like 'em.  Pair of gloves and a Ruger .380.  Priceless.

Are the magnets strong enough to keep from opening if anything inside glove box bounces around? Oh yeah, get to use this!

That's my only concern with them, JR.  I like the looks, the price is not outrageous (for HD), and the design looks good....but, I stuff all kinds of small items in there (like eyeglasses) that I wouldn't want to lose and so was concerned with something getting against it and pushing open while riding.  Probably strong enough to keep from happening, but, not out of the question.     spyder

I have them on my 2012 and so far I really like them. I keep microfiber towels in them, wet ones on one side and dry ones on the other and it's a snap to get one out while riding now.

That's cool  But do you think they would stay closed if you fill them up with heavier things like tire gauge, glasses, and other misc thingies?

JR...I don't have them in hand, so this is a guess...but, I'd think that as long as nothing heavy was near the top of the box, it would be fine.  I found a video!!

OK not bad. I think the price is reasonable enough to give them a try.
