Twelve South Launches New 'BackPack' Shelf for 24-Inch iMac

Twelve South today debuted a new version of its BackPack accessory, this one designed to fit the 24-inch M1 iMac. The BackPack for 24-inch iMac is available to order on Twelve South today for $44.99, and it only comes in a white color option.

You can install the BackPack in two steps, using an included two-piece holster that snaps into the oval opening on the back of the ‌iMac‌ stand. The BackPack itself slides onto the holster and provides a few inches of storage space.

With the BackPack, which is made out of aluminum and is vented, you can store external hard drives, USB-C hubs, collectibles, artwork, and more. The accessory comes with a Sport Loop-like "BackBack Strap" that allows you to strap gear to the top and bottom of the shelf.

Oh wow. USD45 for something that can be designed in minutes and then 3d printed for less than USD1. And I can make it bespoke to whatever I need. WHAT A RIPOFF!

I have the original and it is surprisingly useful to have a solid shelf back there.

It's nice to have a plant sitting on your iMac, every time you water it — you're living on the edge :)
