Twelve South’s BackPack is a great shelf/storage solution for use with an Apple Studio Display or 24-inch iMac.
The US$19.99 product has one goal and achieves it flawlessly. The aluminum shelf attaches to the back of the Studio Display or 24-inch iMac stand. You can use it to hold hard drives and hubs and declutter your desktop. I use it to hold/hide the external hard drive I use as a Time Machine back-up.
The shelf requires a bit of installation; and you have to power down your Studio Display or iMac to do this. However, the process is quick and easy. A two-piece holster snaps into the oval opening on the back of your Studio Display or iMac stand. Then you slide the stand onto the holster. That’s it. And even though the shelf/storage rack only comes in one hue, the holster is clear so the color of your iMac shines through.
The BackPack also includes a peripheral strap and cable management features. You can use the strap to attach two devices to the shelf. For example, you should stash two external drives on the BackPack, an external drive and a hub, etc. There are also multiple cable ties to tie up long, dangling cables.
The BackPack is a great accessory at a great price.
