"Dude, sweet shelf."

"I know, it's hot. I read about it on Gearlog."

We at Gearlog pride ourselves on bringing you the most cutting-edge tech gear around, which is why I'm especially pleased to present the BackPack from Twelve South. It's a tiny shelf that fits on to the back of your iMac or Apple Cinema Display. You can use it to hold an external hard drive that you absolutely don't want touching the desktop. Who would need such a thing? Incredibly fastidious Mac users. Creative directors, I'm thinking.

The Web site is full of possible uses for the BackPack: besides a small hard drive, it can hold your iPhone or iPod while recharging, a Mac Mini, a pencil cup, or even a bud vase. The BackPack attaches with two simple clips, and you can put two of them on the same iMac or display.

The BackPack is available now for $29.99. The site also lets you buy six for the price of five, in case you want to do all your Christmas shopping early.

That's actually kinda neat! Too bad it's only for Apple monitors, though.

Now Gearlog can get into the interior design business! :D Okay, it's a computer peripheral (a nice one at that, I really like it!) but still, it's a shelf, right? I predict TechSaver will cover some sales at Ikea soon!
