Full Review: BackPack – An Adjustable Shelf for Mac
Product: BackPack
Company: TwelveSouth
Price: $29.99
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars 
The BackPack by Twelve South, is purely amazing. Those of you who have External Hard Drives to use for Time Machine and such, where do you keep it? Some people keep it under their iMac’s screen, or standing up next to it, or just plain out on the desk. Now with the BackPack by Twelve South, you can keep it hidden, reachable, and in style.
The BackPack is a small adjustable shelf, that is meant for iMacs, or Apple Cinema Displays. One neat thing is that the shelf itself is held up by gravity. When I first attached it to the back of my iMac, I was a bit nervous about putting my External Hard Drive on it, because I was afraid it was going to fall. With easiness, I lightly put it on there, and then let go, and it held up! Then I put my USB hub on it too, and it worked fine, and I kept on adding more and more and it just kept holding up. The BackPack can hold up to 5 pounds and it’s amazing. It is held up not only with gravity, but with non-scratch clips, so your computer stand doesn’t get scratched.
The design of the BackPack is very unique. It’s very slim, like all of us MacGeek’s like it. It is perfect size for external hardrives, pencil holders, phones, docks, etc. Included in the box, is a cable tie, which you can easily cut into half for perfect size. Also, there is a small rubbery pad you can put on top of the BackPack, so your external hard drives don’t get scratched, and such.
Overall, the BackPack is perfect. I am in love with it! As you can see from the pictures below, it has drastically changed my set up. It keeps you clean, un-cluttered, and still rockin the, “Mac-Style” accessory. You can even get a second BackPack, which you can easily add more to, to free up more space on your desk. I am actually thinking myself about getting a second one in the near future! Thank you all for reading, and make sure you check out the BackPack by Twelve South.
