Review Kenu Airframe – The best smartphone support

Test Kenu Airframe, support for smartphone that hooks up to the air-conditioning vents in the car. Here’s what it looks like, how it works and our impressions of use.

The car holders for iPhone (and other phones) generally fall into two categories: those with windshield, to be applied with a suction cup, and those who cling to the ventilation grilles. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses: the former are quite intrusive and often do not tend to stay in their place, but they offer a comfortable vision.

The latter are excellent from the point of view of employment space, but difficult to adapt and make to take the phone a potion unnatural.

Kenu Airframe, actually belongs to the category of media outlet, but it is proposed as a product different from all the competition for both construction and choice of materials for both ergonomices.

Kenu Airframe – How it is made.

The Kenu Aiframe arrived in a small box, about the size of a pack of matches. The actual support is just as small, but one gets the impression that picking it up is an accessory made with care. It is a small clamp with a spring-loaded element that, by applying a certain force.

It opens (up to 7.5 cm, enough for a phone up to 4.8 inches) and closes, gripping the device that we want to place inside. On the back, we find four-pin teeth that can rotate. This detail is the real secret to Kenu Airframe the teeth are spaced differently, so it can adapt to any thickness of a blade, from the thinnest to the thickest.

The parties holding the phone and the teeth are covered in soft rubber with anti-slip effect; the sled that holds the movable part of the jaw is a chrome-plated metal. The whole plant gives the impression of being carefully studied and have been finished in a well above the average for this type of gadget that can also be found on the stalls set up on the street, but that often stand out for their low-quality products.

Kenu Airframe – How it works.

The Kenu Airframe we tried it with the vents that are not easy to use as support, those of a car which not only are around, but they only have 4 blades are also very thick and protruding from the plane of the dashboard. After studying a bit position that we wanted to take on the iPhone (horizontal or vertical) and after calculating the orientation of the pin, we pushed to the bottom of the support that is geared very firmly and stayed there. In addition, we also managed to make him take an appropriate stance to allow us to see the screen.

Trying to pull and move the impression is that of an accessory that keeps what it promises: our phone would not be moved from its location, even if we had tried to tear it, if not a discrete force. They are, if anything, the vents suffering from something, not so much because they are damaged by the media, but because their shape massively influences the position of the device, and you absolutely must take account of their mechanics.

For example, in our case once hung the iPhone, the nozzle has been dragged down, consequently directing the screen, and also that we had to take into account placing the iPhone.

Secondly, you must also keep in mind that the iPhone or another phone in front of a nozzle prevents the normal flow of air into the passenger compartment (and potentially the iPhone heats up in winter).

A small defect in the retention system of the phone. The jaw exerts pressure and may be difficult to remove the phone without using two hands. With one hand the most likely outcome will be to pull together support directly on the phone and be forced to replace it the next time.

Kenu Airframe – Bonus feature.

The Kenu Airframe has a bonus feature: it can be used as a support table. All you need is a credit card, a debit card or a card and inserting it into the jaws closer, we can place in a very ergonomic our phone on a table. This feature, although not the primary one, it helps to make it even more attractive accessory and expand its capabilities, and it is a little touch of genius who says something of the vision of the producer.

Conclusions Kenu Airframe is probably the best support from nozzle phone on the market today. Not only, it is made with materials of high quality, but it is also engineered in a very original. Finally performs its job very well, consistent with the limitations that support from the nozzle presents.

Not all the jets are able to offer the same adaptability to transform into a support for a telephone, but the conformation of Kenu Airframe minimizes the possibility that those of your car cannot offer a good view or are not capable of be attached to it.

Our advice is to take a look at our photo gallery, which should be enough to see if the explanatory Kenu Airframe is adaptable to your car. But if it were, and were looking for an accessory like this, you can hardly find a better deal on the market even in the face of the price that apparently is not cheap, but it is absolutely justified by the level of the product.
