Kenu Airframe Pro | Universal Vent Car Phone Mount Holder for iPhone, Android, Pixel, Samsung, LG, Moto, Huawei, Nokia, and Large to XL Smartphones

Let's face it. Our phones are way better technology than the junk in our cars. Either you have the latest, most state of the art navigation and music playing system in your car (in which case in 2 years you will laugh at it) or you don't and your phone is already better. Over the last few years I have realized that I'd much rather prefer to use my phone as a navigation tool (such as the Waze app) or a Music Player (to stream spotify or an audio book). When I do find the instance that I use my car navigation system, I am dismayed that I don't have dynamic routing, traffic reports, updated map data and so on. If you car has bluetooth, then you are pretty much set. All you need is power (an article for a future post) and a mount for your phone. I have been doing some research on phone mounts for our cars, and one that I can take on trips where I am driving a rental car around and using my phone to find my way. My research has ended with what I have found to be a fantastic solution to having visibly of my phone in a hands free configuration... so enter the Kenu Airframe. What is it? The Kenu Airframe [24.95 @ Amazon in Black and White] is a contraption that you attach to your heating/AC vent in your car. It attaches to the plastic fins, and stays secure. Then you attach your phone to it. It has the added benefit that when you have the AC on it cools your phone down, which on a hot day is necessary as the GPS can burn up the battery, heat the phone and prevent it from charging. Why did you get it? I wanted something that was easy to place my phone in for my commute every day, and have the ability to stream music or use Waze to find the best route home in traffic. I was particularly interested in something that did not attach to the dashbaord (possibly ruining the dashboard) or the front windshield (illegal in some states). I also wanted something portable that I could take on a vacation or trip. I ended up buying 3 of them. One for my car, my wife's car and for travel. How has it made your life better? It's really high quality, easy to install and remove, and won't damage the car. It allows me to keep my phone at a convenient arm's length and keep me focused on driving and not looking around for my phone.

My Airframe Pro is still looking and performing like new after six years and on two different cars. Seriously. Can it wriggle off the vent? Sure, if I pull at it...However, I can place my phone (Pixel 8 Pro) in it with one hand and remove it one-handed without any issue. The clamp fastens securely to both horizontal and vertical vents, and the grip on the phone itself is strong, considering the holder's tiny footprint. The spring-action clamp can hold phones wider and larger than mine with no problem, and installing it is stupidly simple...there is a button to open the vent clamp, and that's it.

I really like the Kenu Airframe+ as it's the only car mount I have found that works with my large Nexus 6P and the bumper around it. I tried other mounts that were magnetic and the adhesive wore out over time, and larger mounts with a swivel arm with a dashboard suction cup that couldn't hold the weight of a large phone. The Kenu Airframe+ vent mount on the back has a simple option for thick or thin air vents and fits perfectly into the vents on my 2017 Kia Sportage. I have driven with the Kenu Airframe+ for a few weeks and it doesn't bounce or shake at all when I turn corners or hit bumps in the road. The phone holder itself has a very solid grip on the phone and it keeps the phone securely in place. I also like the size and portability of the Kenu Airframe+ so I can carry it in my pocket if I need to use it on my desk or another flat surface. My only serious complaint here is with the holder for the phone. I knocked it one star because of this. It is impossible for me to easily remove the phone from the Kenu Airframe+ with one hand. I have to remove the Kenu Airframe+ from the air vent, then pull back on the spring with both hands to remove my phone. When I get back into my car, I have to insert my phone back into the Kenu Airframe+ with both hands and put it back into the air vents. Over time, I can see where this repeated removing and inserting the mount into the air vents will either damage my vents or the Kenu Airframe+ rubber mounts on the back. I wish there was a one button feature that allowed me to easily insert or release my phone in the Kenu Airframe+, otherwise it's annoying having to struggle with the spring mount just to get my phone in and out of the Kenu Airframe+ Hopefully, there is a simple hack that would allow for this to happen. I really love the Kenu Airframe+ but it just needs to be more accessible with one hand.

Molto soddisfatto dell'acquisto, comprati due.

I cannot believe that I am reviewing this product 10 years later. I was transferring into another car looking back at how long I’ve had this exact Kenu unit. It’s going 10 years strong. It still got great tension in the spring, fits onto various different cars and various different phones. Wanted to upload a quick video because this is a quality product that’s held up well.

What can I say? A great surprise in a small package. I have purchased five of these so far, one for myself and the rest for family members. It is very difficult to find a good car holder and near impossible to find a decent air vent car holder. So behold the Kenu Airframe+. I had to go for the plus model as I mostly use large 5.5 inch screen phones and the smaller Kenu Airframe is for standard phone sizes. The item is not cheap by any means, this has a recommended retail price of £29.99. I first came across this company on Amazon and judging by the reviews I decided to go ahead and take the plunge. For something so small it seems so expensive. When I opened the packaging the first thing that struck me was the quality, this little thing is very well made. The back of the item which has a revolving mechanism so you can use your phone sideways if you wish has a solid rotating click to it (quite satisfying actually). Please note this style of air vent holder will not fit every car as some manufacturers have very odd shaped air vents so please check this before you buy it. But saying that this will fit most cars. Once I chose my desired spot on my dash the Kenu Airframe+ slotted into my air vent perfectly. The left side of the holder widens out in an elastic motion so you can place your handset into the holder. When you release the arm it closes and holds the phone very strongly in place (this mechanism is quite nicely hidden in the holder). After taking quite a few journeys, the holder has never dropped out of my air vent once. I have quite a firm suspension on my car, I feel most bumps in the road but the holder has performed admirably. As I mentioned before you can rotate this holder 360 degrees and it will hold any phone securely at any angle. This is one of the items which is essential for drivers and for us to drive safely and responsibly. If you have a compatible air vent in your car I don't think you will find a better holder on the market. By the way, I have read some reviews of sellers selling fake versions of this item. If you want to be guarantee a perfect original item then buy direct from Amazon. If you found this review helpful, please click on the link below.

Funziona egregiamente, lo uso su Opel Agila B ed è una meraviglia. Esattamente quello che cercavo. Ne ho provati di ammennicoli e carabattole con ventose e adesivi bracci e snodi e a parte l'orrore estetico soprattutto quando il telefono non è inserito, li ho sempre trovati poco pratici, troppo appariscenti, poco sicuri se applicati sul cruscotto e se applicati sul parabrezza troppo distanti per un pratico utilizzo del cellulare. Questo supporto è LA SOLUZIONE DEFINITIVA. Non è un semplice e fragile pezzo di plastica come sembra in foto, ma robusto metallo rivestito e gommato. Si inserisce perfettamente fra le alette dell'areatore senza rischio di rottura grazie al supporto (anch'esso gommato), è orientabile (verticale/orizzontale) basta ruotarlo senza bisogno di estrarlo, stabilissimo in marcia non si muove non traballa ne vibra, se inserito a contatto con la cornice esterna dell'areatore il telefono si può agganciare e togliere con una sola mano, tiene saldamente un S4 sia senza che con qualsiasi cover anche quella più pesante con batteria (comodissimo), ho il telefono a portata di mano praticamente accanto al volante quindi molto funzionale e essendo più vicino risponde meglio anche ai comandi vocali e infine quando tolgo il telefono, il supporto rimane li discreto quasi non ci fosse. Forse il prezzo può fare dubitare, ma ho voluto rischiare e dopo circa un mese di utilizzo posso dire non solo che sono assolutamente soddisfatto, ma che è l'unico che ricomprerei altre mille volte. Non posso che consigliarlo a tutti, non ve ne pentirete.

I've been using Kenu Airframe+ phone clamps for over 10 years in my cars. Though they're not cheap compared to other options from China, they actually work perfectly for year and they can be used in landscape and portrait mode. If you're looking for a phone clamp to install on the airvents of you car, this is by far the best solutions.
