Finding the perfect car mount is difficult because there are hardly ‘one size fits all’ options. The Kenu Airframe+ portable car mount ditches suction cups, adhesives, magnets, and special cases for a simple design. After all, this is Kenu and we have seen the company produce compact products that are practical before. The Kenu Airframe+ even maintains versatility unlike so many other products in its class.
The Kenu Airframe+ maintains exceptional build quality even though the price is not very high. Materials used are acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), thermoplastic elastomer, stainless steel, and zinc alloy. Don’t understand some of those? Neither did I. Just know that the car mount is built from high quality rubber, stainless steel, and metal. It keeps the Kenu Airframe+’s weight at less than 1oz. Combine that with its compact size and the Kenu Aiframe+ goes unnoticed when in a pocket or a car’s glove compartment.
Almost any phone will fit into the Kenu Airframe+ with ease. The rubber grip features an expandable jaw that can widen to 3.4-inches; therefore, chances are the phone in your pocket will be compatible. The Nexus 6 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4, two of the largest devices on the market today, have no difficulties fitting into the Kenu Airframe+. According to Kenu, any phone with a display under 6-inches should fit. And, since the rubber grip is on the sides of the phone, connecting cables and cords remains possible.
Vent types vary from make to make and car to car, but it doesn’t matter here. The Kenu Airframe+ works with any vent type. The diagram above shows that the accessory works with horizontal, vertical, and angled vents. Kenu used soft grips on a rotating base for the clip. It latches onto the vent for a tight grip without leaving any scuffs. The rotating base also allows for the phone to be positioned vertically and horizontally.
At the start of this review, I mentioned versatility. The Kenu Stance, which I reviewed last week, is a compact tripod that doubles as a bottle opener. The Kenu Airframe+ doubles as a travel stand in both portrait and landscape modes because of the rotating clip. Take out any card from your wallet and insert it into the clip and the Kenu Airframe+ will prop up the phone for a comfortable viewing experience.
The Kenu Airframe+ portable car mount is available online (and in select retail stores) for $29.95. The accessory is compatible with practically any phone that has a display no larger than 6-inches. For those that want something smaller with a slightly lighter price, the Kenu Airframe is available for $24.95.
