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.

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 :)
