Early HIDEit PS5 mount prototypes in raw, unfinished steel

HIDEit

Innovations + Intellectual Property

We made the category. Now we set the standard.

  • Family-owned since 2009, with patents, copyrights and trademarks on our designs.
  • The first PS5 mount on the market, covered by three design patents.
  • Patented, copyrighted and trademarked, start to finish.

Designed in-house

Designed down to the millimeter

We once found a knockoff of our PS5 mount that had been reverse-engineered from ours, right down to a copied instruction card and photos lifted from our own listing. It was off by a single millimeter, just enough to let the console's side panel pop loose, and the customers who bought it had no idea it wasn't a real HIDEit mount. We took action to protect our design, and it's a big part of why we hold the patents, copyrights and trademarks below.
