Review: BackPack Shelf for iMac, Cinema Display & More

[Wired2X]

@Patriots4life121212 The name of the product is the BackPack shelf from the company Twelve South, and its called that because it mounts on the the back of several Apple products like a backpack.

[supanogtcord]

holy crap, $30 for a shelf? what a ripoff... :/ otherwise it would be well worth it to get 2 for your external harddrives.

[thelegoplokoon]

Yeah Nice, but Will it blend?

[weroliera]

nice vid and review exceot next time you should show how you use things not just oics like record while you put it on or some like that

[sonic91207]

you know what i am very OCD with my mac pro being on the side of my desk so i think i should put my mac pro on their

[XxWinCompHelpxX]

Great video David!

[chica476]

i want you to cuddle me.

[iLightningBolt]

made in china

[oochit]

this back shelf thing is funny becoz who wants to hide there mouse at the back of there imac + if your imac is again a wall or something it woud be usless!!!!!Really i dont see any point of buying this David did not buy this he got it, he dont care if its good or bad!!!!

[holastickboy]

Wow, so simple, yet so useful. I'm going to my local hardware store to make a homebrew version

[TheMusicCloud]

Wow, your eyes are very blue today!

[TheTechDogs]

will this work with the 27" cinema display

[Niloc1922]

Damn! You and mtpflyers both have a big ass zit on your nose!

[TheeDrunkunMunky]

I have that monkey lol

[InSaNeiZSoHawT]

What is it made out of?

[TheeDrunkunMunky]

@InSaNeiZSoHawT You taking the p*ss?

[InSaNeiZSoHawT]

@TheeDrunkunMunky a piss?

[TheeDrunkunMunky]

@InSaNeiZSoHawT No... the piss

[pl3x3to]

@InSaNeiZSoHawT I think cheap plastic.

[1234567Mripodtouch]

David don't listen to the hatred and the people who say ur old vids were better. At least you can make a proper enjoyable video but they can't. Stay cool man :D

[MacMike1000]

TwelveSouth does make good products but this should be retail for $19.99 instead of $29.99.

[smllvilleluvr4life]

i wish you would do more personal videos "/ dont get me wrong i like these videos but i miss the old vids.

[PSNzahi]

thanks for placing the ad after the video. finally, an intelligent person.

[thecreativeone]

@PSNzahi No problem. Pre-rolls ads, in my opinion, are annoying and unnecessary. It makes more sense to roll an ad after the video, at least from a user's perspective.

[MonsterLove305]

Your like me :D I like a clean desk :D

[Trillianz]

I've been a fan from when you had 200 subscribers, but must admit, I've lost a lot of faith in David. A lot of your material now is making money for yourself, advertising. I wish you'd cut it down a little and pay more attention to the people who made you who you are now. I know this will not mean much to you now, but I thought i'd share my thoughts. :)

[Gregory748]

quiet usefull dave

[neverending4181]

Sorry, but your eyes are REALLY distracting, but in a very good way! They are bluer than usual! New lighting? Maybe i didn't notice them because you usually wear glasses. But I love the review and I've seen those at Apple Stores and thought it was nifty. If only I had a Mac desktop. All I have are laptops. But I really wanted to comment on your eyes :)

[kyle51895]

I love my HP, it hasn't given me one issue in the year and a half I've owned it and I bought it because of the HP we owned that took Windows XP when all it was designed for was ME.

[macbookpro57]

wow, that's an excellent idea for using an external hard drive, glad i'm subscribed to you lol

[RS1naru1fan1]

Awesome review.. Dude your eyes are amazing

[cpukid00]

Nice review David! I'd love to get one of these, but I don't have an Apple display :/ lol. I still can't get over the quality of your camera! Thanks for the great review!

[bigitalian87]

YOUR EYES GIVE ME A HUGE BONER ALL HOMONESS INTENDED

[HippoTech7]

SO BLUE! haha nice video!

[TheKyro7]

I really don't have a clue what this is.

[TechnoHelp02]

wow i would pay 29.99 for that any day. That looks like great build quality!

[iloveyoshi0xo]

Hey David, if you HAD to buy a PC, what brand would you get? Just wondering.

[ku42]

aww i my ps3 weighs more than five pounds.or does it

[TheDiegoiegoiego]

hey you guys did you know its made out of aluminum?

[USAGamingMW2]

What would you agree on. Getting a screen protector for my iPod Touch 4g or using a cleaning cloth? For either one please answer what kind of screen protector or cleaning cloth kit?. And also a case and earphone you would recommend. Thanks for your time

[MusicManAustralia]

I just realized, You have a dot on your nose!! Hahaha great vid

[K2ACP]

Your peace signs are the wrong way. The side that you use means something along the lines of GTFO

[ForeverG5]

The quality of and the lighting in this video is amazing! Makes your eyes pop big time! :) This product is a pretty cool concept. I couldn't think of anything I'd put behind a display right off the bat until you said hard drive. That would definitely be a great space saver! I agree that seeing external hard drives can be distracting and create for a less minimal looking workspace.

[thecreativeone]

@ForeverG5 Thanks, Caitlin! I've been trying to improve my lighting conditions lately, so I'm glad you noticed!

[TheOne359]

Hey David u get your iPad 2 yet? I bet everyone is waiting for a unboxing and review video

[VViP30U7]

Man i love you no homo. i've been looking for something like this!:)

[ehupkerry]

I JUST WATCHED THIS TO SOBER UP

[jj22oo]

how do the holes match the front of your imac

[mjmt100]

Hey david got any news of idooble?

[ZediaStudios]

@mjmt100 He won the iPad 2.

[mjmt100]

@ZediaStudios I already know that but i won an iPod touch ad i want to know if they told him something or something like that to redem the prize

[futurehollywood22]

DUDE have you noticed your eyes match the wall behind you almost identically?

[TheAitchDavis]

Ipad 2... review... :/ haha. Not the edge of my seat. 

[showstopas]

why do people wanna watch other people live their lives anyway. live your own life kids.

[yourgeekneeds]

HP just makes bad products (my hp laptop caught fire 3 times from casual computing)

[jtantonovich]

1. Press pause

2. Press play

3. Press 8 repeatedly

[zumbull08]

@TheTechBoxTV lol agreed!

[iToasterman]

wheres your glasses D:

[OmniTechBuzz]

I'm not hating because I love your video but, you should get a snowball mic or better quality mic for your sponsorship outro ad (I don't think outro is a word) anyways, love the video keep up the amazing work! :)

[thecreativeone]

@OmniTechBuzz I did use the Snowball mic for the outro. However, I'm considering reshooting it. The modulation is a little high.

[OmniTechBuzz]

@thecreativeone No worries your videos still rock! :)

[eas900s]

where is the damn tv review 

[thatapplegeek]

HP actually is starting to make some OK MacBook Pro clones made of al., it's still not the real thing though. Acer and asus seem like the companies that always use plastic.

[jungmaeng]

you sounded like the sham wow guy at the last 3min of the video lol

[mctiger2011]

Your class david!wish i had as much stuff as you!your reviews are spot on :P

[fanboyproductions]

People just hate on Mac cause they can't afford it. Save your pennies, it will change your life.

[TheTechBoxTV]

Al-U-minium :) Sorry, just had to get it of my chest and I'm English :P Otherwise great video and it looks like a great product. I have seen them around before, seems great for a tidy Mac user.

[TheMexicanNerd]

Nice little accessory

[CyanideReviews]

nice contacts david :D

[videocrack246]

David im really getting worried now....Where are your iPad 2 videos???? i dont think i can go on for much longer without them!!!!!

[harrycrumblebumble]

my imac was playing up

but my mom warked it again

[MadForGaming]

Nice review

[ZwienerZ]

@ohodelta Who gives a shit! Why not make money?!? Haha it amazes me when people get mad at people for making money on YouTube.

[BlueFoxTV]

30 bucks for a bent piece of aluminum and some screws. local machine shop will make you one for like 10 bucks.

[JonoUK123]

dont worry about the haters David they are all over youtube, they dont seem to realise they get all this entertainment for FREE, if you dont want to see it just click the little x!

[thecreativeone]

@JonoUK123 I couldn't agree more.

[thatapplegeek]

@JonoUK123 well said

[manen6]

@ohodelta I couldn't have said it any better.

[Vbrana24]

Twelve South makes such great products, but I am a PC user running Ubuntu. I will agree with people saying PC manufacturers tend to not make as high quality products as Apple hardware wise and I don't like Windows. So, I just build a computer, problem is then accessories are a little less easy to come by. Wish I could use this great product.

[stewie100]

seems like that would come in handy, great vid.

[thecreativeone]

@tecHunger Thank you! I really do appreciate that. I try to remain true to my roots.

[ThePapadumGeek]

I love this Shelf. Ive been using it for a while now. And I have my Main firewire harddrive just on the back. Because its constantly plugged in its out of the way. Great buy.

[TitillatingTechno]

One Con with this review. Didn't know us how to apply it to your cinema display?

[GBUK666]

Anyone know if this is made of aluminium?..... :-p

[joethetechietech]

@ohodelta Sorry, but I don't see how @thecreativeone can be money greedy when the products be reviews are sent to him, for review. Stop being a jealous individual and leave David to continue bringing us the great content that he does!

[Imasofat]

For $30, you should be able to by an external hard drive with a shelf built into it already.

[mszigetihu]

Your eyes are different. :)

[underpartv]

in the UK your peace sign is a fuck you... just thought I will let you know, keep up the good work :)

[MrRader18]

nose pimple not good david. lol

[tylerplack]

David, will you do footage of your summer parties and the other family videos we enjoyed during the summer?

[thecreativeone]

@tylerplack Of course! Contrary to the what the haters think, my family videos haven't gone anywhere. They fail to recognize my regular pattern of when certain videos are uploaded.

[Jedibron]

@thecreativeone Could you do an installing vid. 

[hi12397]

David Do u think it was a waste of money?

[abbottonie]

Great review David don't listen to @ohodelta!

[drsamrocksz7]

@ohodelta Dude fuck you get out of YouTube!

[Pokeyph]

@ohodelta I think you need to go make some videos yourself.

[thecreativeone]

@Pokeyph Well said.

[romodrummerjz]

@thecreativeone Haters aways be hatin David :) that guys doesnt even have one video of himself uploaded hes just taking out of his ass maybe hes just mad cuz his mom doesnt love him enough

[MaestroBLC]

When is the room tour coming?

[KidRobot1018]

Hi David love your videos and Im just like you I need a clean desk keep doing good videos.

[Jackson70368]

room tour david please :)

[Jackson70368]

:)

[koenfunny]

You forget to talk about the different mount pieces just saying

Great review btw

[thecreativeone]

@ohodelta Actually, you're incorrect. My family videos did not get me where I am today. It was my "Why Get a Mac?" podcast that brought in the initial views. As I've constantly explained before, family videos are uploaded on occasion. This channel has been tech focused for a few years now. If you can't recognize that, then maybe you shouldn't be subscribed to this channel. If you think I'm "money greedy," then you have me all wrong.

[sami66667]

@thecreativeone Don't listen to him David..You're not Money greedy.

[thecreativeone]

@sami66667 Oh, I know I'm not. Calling me money greedy in the first place doesn't even make sense. I'm never paid to make a review video. Thanks for your support, though. It means a lot!

[sami66667]

@thecreativeone No worries, keep doing what you do best. Peace.

[vajksziget7a]

@thecreativeone David YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST YOUTUBE USERS OUT THERE!!!!DON'T LESSON TO EVERYONE WHO HATES YOU!!!!!

[DeeJayBounce]

@thecreativeone Even though I agree on some of criticism people bring up in reply to your videos, really the worst thing you can do is react to it - certainly now this voting allows such comment and your reply to bob up and appear right below the video, making it the first thing people read. In no way will that do you any good. You probably know this very well for yourself, but still I think you must constrain any urge to reply to such comments... Just my two cents.

[SOF006]

@ohodelta Sorry but your totally wrong. The reason why he doesn't do as many family videos is because like everyone, you get older and when you get older you get a job and you don't have as much time to do the stuff you used to do. David still uploads his New York videos, Christmas videos etc. David happened to have moved into the product review area and he gets paid for it. That does not mean hes money greedy! Oh and no he doesn't pump out videos 24/7 about reviews.

[ringrosehouse07]

@ohodelta I don't think that's true at all David is still the nice guy who does videos for the right reasons, he's grown up as have his videos and moved on to his interests and goings on. I don't understand why being an entrepreneur is a bad thing, it would be different if he loved every product and did not really give his opinions but he doesn't. I for one like to see all the different items he acquires and reviews.

[ilovedagreenday]

Cross eyes 3:07

[michaellewisjohn2]

David is it aluminum? lol

[jakeyboo7]

yay im always happy and excited when i see a new video in my subscriptions box from david A.K.A Thecreativeone

[rexturoth]

@ohodelta why are you complaining? that means more vids for your entertainment

[sonyvaio980]

good video :)

[ssbbFL4ME]

Demo?

[thetechfixer]

Good review very interesting product

[TheDEADEXX]

Read davids comment if your confused about the video's quality

[TheTechDogs]

Davids videos are always the best!!!

[michaellewisjohn2]

yes epic 240p :P

[TheDEADEXX]

its in 240p becuase its not fully done uploading. the quality is improving as i speak :)

[theapplegenius]

Why did you record in 240p??

[thecreativeone]

@theapplegenius I didn't. YouTube is still processing the video.

[theapplegenius]

@thecreativeone Oh yes... its now in 360p (or higher) Great video by the way David! :)

[smiti07]

@thecreativeone Just gone 720p now!

[SimonTalksWHO]

@thecreativeone awesome video!

[henrikroxs]

@thecreativeone Why didn't you show us it in use? Kind of a pointless review if you can't show us the product in action.

[thecreativeone]

@henrikroxs I did show it in action, hence the two cutaway clips I included.

[CreativeSam93]

Really like the whole idea and I appreciate the quality but I couldn't face spending that much, Id rather have an extra wire across my desk and save $30!

[GraficTuts]

why no 360p

[mac7613]

@GraficTuts Cause he has jsut uploaded it, give it a chance to process, people need to know how youtube works.

[thecreativeone]

@mac7613 Agreed. You'd think everyone would catch on by now.

[mac7613]

@thecreativeone Yup

[torberen]

when are you going to get the ipad 2

[JoshLUHG]

Have you still not got your iPad 2, or have I missed the un-boxing video?

[MrNuun]

Niceee.. Black screen in 240p xD Flash player is acting weird lately. I know the video comes up again when I can change the resolution but for now it's a thumps up

[pctreff24]

[SimonTalksWHO]

I like it! :D

[bobopopo5]
