You are looking for HttpContext.Items, which is a dictionary that can be used to store items for the duration of the current request. It goes out of scope at the end of the request.

// Set HttpContext.Items["Customer"] = customer; // Get var customer = HttpContext.Items["Customer"];

I tried HttpContext.Current.Items. Its not working. I'm using the field now in a custom modelbinder

Could you provide more details what you are trying to achieve? (please edit your question and add them). Model binding happens near the beginning of the request, so it probably doesn't make much sense to get values from the request cache (although it might be a good place to set them).

BTW - You should never use the static HttpContext.Current in MVC (which might be your problem). In a model binder, the context object is passed in. You can access the request cache like var cache = controllerContext.HttpContext.Items["Key"];
