In the early days of hunting and gathering, mankind invented cases.  It was unavoidable.  Cavemen got tired of trying to carry a spear, a rock, a club, and an iPod all at the same time, with only two arms to hold it all.  Something was always getting dropped, usually the iPod, and you know how useless and iPod is once a pterodactyl has stepped on it.   So, mankind invented the case.   Now early man could carry all his needed stuff in one convenient container when he went hunting.  What a relief!

Today, the case has evolved into a myriad of wonderful and helpful containers.  As part of the Spring-A-Palooza 2011 event, Backstage is on the case, offering these great life-improvement devices at some really stupidly low prices.  (If you see Jim, don't mention this case sale to him.  We didn't tell him about it.  No real reason, we just like for him to be the last to know. We'll tell him tomorrow.)

Today, and today only, here's what we've got in the Spring-A-Palooza lineup:
