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

I first got a normal sized Kenu Airframe around 2015 when I worked at a large electronics retailer. Having worked there, I tested a vast range of phone holders of all different types - Vent mounts, dash mounts, cupholder mounts, windshield mounts, mounts with magnetic cards - Just about anything you can think of, I tried. Every mount I tried suffered from a myriad of issues, whether it was shaky arm issues, unreliable adhesives, or weak vent/phone clips, there was always something going wrong. That is, until I got my Kenu. The Kenu's strong vent clips are the only clips that truly stay in place without fail. On top of that, the mechanism used to secure the phone is rock-solid, though it does take a bit of time to learn the technique for getting your phone in & out with one hand. Once you get that down, it's incredibly easy to use. A few years ago I upgraded my phone to one with a larger screen. To my dismay, my phone no longer fit in my Kenu, so I passed it along to my partner for her to use. Needless to say, I was ECSTATIC when I saw that there was an XL version (Airframe Pro). Why I didn't look earlier still baffles me, as it was a product I loved and missed dearly, but oh well. The Airframe Pro is just as perfect as the normal Airframe, with what seems to be an even better mechanism to hang on to my vents. The mechanism used to secure the phone appears to be the same as the one from almost a decade ago - I'm very glad they didn't fix something that wasn't broken! After almost a full decade of use, the only issue I had with my original Airframe is that the rotation mechanism has worn out, but all the clips still hold strong and it's not a huge problem. I don't anticipate that the Airframe Pro will suffer from the same issue since the design of the vent clip has been updated. It also fits my S22 Ultra perfectly, even with the LifeProof case that I have on it. All in all, I'm very happy with this product, and cannot recommend it enough. To be clear - This review is not sponsored in any way, shape, or form. This is simply one of the very few products that does exactly what it needs to, and does it perfectly. Thank you, Kenu!

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 prefer a cell phone holder that clips unobtrusively to a vent (as opposed to mounting to the dash or windshield) and is small enough for travel if need be, so I went with a Kenu since I own and very much like the previous generation Airframe+ . This one is marginally bigger because of the clip mechanism and swivel joint that increase the stability and convenience mounting big or heavy cell phones. Price point seems a bit high, but it for sure is not a cheaply-made product. This takes up very little footprint in your car and once clipped to your vent, it is very sturdy. Note that the vent itself may move, so heavier phones will tilt down due to gravity, and in most cases, that problem is solved by attaching toward the lower third of the phone so that it has little room to tilt before resting on the console face. Unfortunately, this one won't mount to any recessed vents, such as the center horizontal vents of a 2017 Lexus ES 350, where there's not enough clearance above or below for the shallow clips to grab onto something. If the vent clips were longer, it could protrude deeper into a recessed vent for secure contact.

UPDATE (3 stars to 5 stars): The company sent me a new phone holder and it’s been going strong since I received it. No problems and my phone doesn’t more or drop once it’s in the holder. UPDATE (1 Star to 3 stars): Kenu contacted me. The company said there was a defect with some of their earlier models and offered to send a replacement. Will update my review when the mount is received. Original review: Last year my family bought the Kenu phone holder at the mall and they swear by it. So when I needed a new phone holder I decided to get this one from amazon because it saved me a trip to the mall. This worked great and I really liked the design and functionality, but it broke in less then 3 months. Highly disappointed that this broke so quickly and the return window has passed.

My wife had purchased a couple of similar phone mounts from a local store, and I was somewhat unhappy with the way that fit on the vent (i.e., it was blocking the air from the vent and simultaneously making the phone very hot or very cold.) I purchased this because it looked like it would extend farther out from the vent, and it does. Unexpectedly, it also seems to be a lot more sturdy, stable, and overall just better quality. It will hold either my iPhone 7 or my wife's iPhone7+ perfectly. The adjustment on the previous one quickly became loose and required balancing the phone properly to keep it from falling over, while this one seems to hold the phone well in almost every position. I was initially concerned that the clamp looked like it would be flimsy and quickly loose the ability to grip well, but it has been perfect since I bought it. Having used a similar one with disappointing results, I am extremely pleased with this purchase.

I needed (and still do need) a vent car phone mount. My phone overheats easily in the summer heat, and I need the AC to cool it off while driving. Additionally, a law was recently passed in my state requiring all phones to be on a mount (or not used at all while driving). This mount was recommended by several websites as being one of the best. The description sounded exactly like what I needed. Unfortunately, I've been through TWO of these in the past couple of months. The first one broke just after the return period expired. The second one didn't even last a week, and I'm returning it today. The issue lies in the push button vent clip. The buttons are plastic. The vent clip legs are part of the same plastic. Between the button part and the leg part is an area where that plastic is too thin to withstand multiple button presses. This causes the buttons to break off from the legs, loosening the legs to the point that they won't stay attached, and the button itself simply falls out. This is what happend with both of these two mounts that I've owned. I'm going to try the Plus version (as opposed to this Pro version) to see if that one works better. From the pictures I've seen, the legs in the Plus version are metal instead of plastic. Unfortunately, I've already seen pictures where the rubber has worn off of the outside of the metal legs, so I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst. I just don't understand how a company can be thought so highly of, reported by several sites as being great (maybe even the best), and yet make expensive products that fall apart after very little use. If the Plus version fails me, I'll never be buying a Kenu brand product ever again.

This is clearly much more highly engineered and planned that the cheap ones you get at a carwash for a few dollars. Look closely at all the AMAZON text and pictures. It is solidly built. It has a firm "clip" that you push to "open" then "lock" the jaws on the vent. One of the main issues is that many car vents are recessed, narrow, or have prominent "finger tabs" that make it hard to "clip". This one works ok with both our cars. A new feature is a ball swivel that lets you turn the phone face somewhat to face you. Since it is nearly flush to the dash and vent, it will be a small pivot. The phone clamp holds my phone firmly (iphone 5SE). I like using vent phones because (A) the phone is much smarter and more intuitive than my car's built in GPS, and because (B) the vent position gives easy access to a charging cord without the cord running all over the place like to the top of dash or to a window mount. I'm often listening to podcasts or audiobooks for which it is best to have the phone securely and visibly mounted.

Solid. Works well. Swivel is a bit loose but it when phone rests on bottom of vent, it provides enough support. UPDATE: Bit the dust after a couple of months!!! One jaw broke off and spring flew out with it. No abuse at all on my part. Came to car to find it sitting on the console next to spring. UPDATE: Kenu did get back to me on June 19, but I didn't see the message because Amazon's message center is, incredibly, deeply buried on the "Account Homepage" when it should be also linked in the Accounts & Links drop-down in the main navigation bar. But Amazon is not known for their stellar analytics/site optimization, as some of us know. Buyers and merchants suffer because of this. So I am adding back one star and will add another when Kenu sends me a new clip, as I am confident they will!

Correct ; permet la charge usb-c en bas.

Decent build quality, no fuss installation, good price too! Recommended product!✌🏼

Clip that holds it onto the vent, broke internally.

Bislang funktioniert der Halter bei mir problemlos und sicher. Mittels Drucktaster einfacher als die ältere Standart-Ausführung zu montieren und die Ausziehbreite ist nun größer, so dass auch größere Handys hineinpassen. Positiv ist auch die Gelenkkugel zur Verstellung der Neigung. Der Drucktaster ist bei meinem Exemplar recht schwergängig, was auf eine stärkere Feder hindeutet. Ich mag diese Variante lieber, da man bei der alten „Standart“-Variante aufpassen mußte; dünnere, filigrane Lüftungslamellen hat man beim Aufdrücken des alten Halters leicht kaputt gemacht, was mir selbst einmal bei einem PKW passiert ist.

Supporter mon smartphone 6" dans un BMW X3 (F25). J'ai installé ce support en haut à gauche de la grille d'aération centrale gauche. Le smartphone est ainsi bien dans mon champ de vision (l'écran de la voiture est un peu occulté à gauche). J'étais vraiment très sceptique concernant la stabilité du smartphone en roulant (je suis plutôt habitué à l'excellent système BRODIT, mais support non dispo pour mon nouveau smartphone). Je n'avais pas envie de le voir avec la tremblotte sur chaque aspérité de la route. Hé bien j'ai été surpris : le smartphone tient très bien et est stable en roulant. Par contre, il est clair que lorsque vous appuyez sur son écran pour rentrer des infos, le smartphone bouge un peu. On prend l'habitude d'appuyer un peu moins fort sur l'écran pour éviter ça. Autre point positif : vous changer de voiture ou de smartphone, vous conservez ce produit.
