Keeping your desk clean can be a tedious thing to do, especially if you have a million things to get done on your “to-do list.” The BackPack is a shelf designed to keep your life in order.

The mini BackPack shelf attaches to the back of an [iMac](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satechi-slim-dock), and can be used to store stationery, hard drives or USB peripherals. Out of sight, the BackPack can also hide those annoying cords and cables that seem to overtake your desk.
