As I don´t have the original compressor for the spare, I just have the spare at home and use the space for a bag with all the tools and spares!
That way the trunk is free for other stuff!
Just an idea....

To address the original question, I used to use a desert tan "tactical" tool bag that I found on one of the military surplus sites. The color matches the beige carpeting of my 928 closely enough that it doesn't stand out. You may want to look for similar military "tactical" bags to see if anything looks like a good fit for your needs and aesthetics. I can take a photo of mine if you're interested. I've found that ziploc bags work good for the small parts like fuses.
I prefer not to use a hard sided box or case because I don't want it banging things up if it gets loose. Plus, the backpack that I've switched to has cinching straps that compress the bag to keep things from moving around inside of the bag itself.
In the glove box I carry spare a relay jumper.
Behind the driver's seat I carry:
Fire extinguisher
Fix-a-flat can
Detailer spray
Microfiber
California car duster
Recently, I've switched out the tan bag for a backpack and carry the following in it:
Backpack:
Battery Booster/Jump Pack:
Toolkit:
Tire Plug Kit:
Air Compressor:
Flares:
First Aid Kit:
Siphon Hose:
Zip Ties (10 each of two different sizes):
Duct Tape:
Flash Light:
Multi-Tool:
Tire Pressure Gauge:
Disposable Rubber Gloves (2 pair):
Jumper Cables:
Microfiber Towel (2 towels):
Several of each amperage and size fuse in two ziplock bags (one bag for each size)
Each car often has vehicle specific items stowed away in a side pocket somewhere. Such as, fluids, belts, etc. But, in the Porsche, I just carry what's listed above. Unless I go on a long trip. In which case I'll carry water, belts, oil, power steering fluid, etc.
I try to be pretty aggressive about preventative maintenance, and that helps a lot with avoiding break downs. When something does happen and you can't resolve it on the spot, having emergency road side service with a 200 mile towing radius helps a lot with expenses. But, it doesn't help with time. You can easily find a tow much quicker on your own than an emergency road side service will.
For excursions where there may not be cell service, I recommend the Spot Messenger.
