I'm trying to save some text inside an environment for later use. The smallest test case I could come up with is this. The saved text in the sbox isn't available after the environment is closed. How can I work around that? Thanks.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\newsavebox{\somebox}
\begin{itemize}
\item hello1
\item hello1 \sbox{\somebox}{Some text}
\end{itemize}
This should show something, but does not: "\usebox{\somebox}"
\end{document}
