Twelve South BackPack
What's on this page?
BackPack is the perfect place to park portable hard drives, card readers or other USB peripheral you want to hide, but need easy access to every now and then. Set your USB hub on the shelf and tie your cables to it for a super tidy workspace. BackPack is also a handy home to stash your iPhone or iPod while charging and syncing.
Because it's height adjustable, there's room for more than one BackPack in your life. Hang one low for hard drives and add a second one for hubs and gear. If the back of your iMac faces the room, a BackPack or two is a completely fun, new way to personalize both your iMac and your workspace. The choice of what to display on your BackPack is completely yours.
The BackPack rests on the back of the desk stand on flat-screen iMacs and Apple Cinema Displays using gravity and two simple, adjustable clips. This allows you to position the sporty shelves at the perfect height without a screw ever touching your iMac. Because the BackPack uses gravity to stay in place, it will not leave any scratches or marks on your machine.
Not only is this accessory a stylish space saver, it has some key protective benefits for your gear. This cool, ventilated shelf is the perfect way to get your hard drive or other Mac accessories elevated for better ventilation and the heat relief most electronic devices crave.
- Fits all current iMacs and
- Apple Cinema Displays
- Perfect place to store external hard drives for Time Machine
- Creates a tidy, less cluttered workspace

Pricing Protection
We've all been there: you pick up the latest gadget only to see it advertised by that same retailer one week later at a 25% discount. Well, with PowerMax you don't have to worry about feeling duped.
If you see a reduced price on an item you've purchased within the last 10 days just let us know and refund or credit the difference back to you.

Why People Like You Chose Powermax
I'm VERY happy with the iMac I purchased from you, and I would definitely say this is the best support I've had. I also want to thank you for PowerMax's support of the military by shipping Apple products to APO addresses. Thanks again, and I look forward to getting another Mac from you soon!
Thank You,
Just to let you know, the iMac got here safe and sound. Everything is up and running and I'm loving it. I just wanted to thank you for your help and giving such good customer service. I'm really impressed with PowerMax and I'll definitely be doing more of my Mac shopping with you guys.
Thanks again,
Thanks for all the information, it is a great help. I will let you know how it all comes out - and may have to ask you for some more help. I appreciate your consideration - actually this is the way I have been treated by everyone I have worked with at PowerMax. I wouldn't buy a Mac anyplace else. This is my second one from PowerMax.
Take care,
I would like to thank you for the prompt response to the drive situation. I received the drive on Wednesday afternoon, installed it on Thursday and everything went as smooth as could be. My experience with PowerMax has been a pleasant one, and I am looking forward to doing business again in the future. Once again thank you for all of your help.
Thanks,
Just wanted to say "Thanks Again" for taking care of me on this order. Anyway - I'm a happy camper. Just wanted you to know!
