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.

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

I would purchase again

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.

Tenía el modelo anterior y estaba muy contento también. Con este han mejorado mucho. La sujeción a las rejillas del aire es mejor y más firme. Además ahora como la cabeza pivota el teléfono se puede movernos fácilmente para ponerlo en la mejor posición para el conductor. Muy contento con la compra.

Llego antes de tiempo. Ya había comprado el primer Airframe, pero ahora tengo un teléfono más grande y con su protector ya no entraba. Con este Airframe Pro quedó perfecto.
