I will take pics today after work. Even though its a simple accessory a lot of thought and engineering went into the airframe. The airframe is a must have for any smart phone owner.

Can you post pictures? Also feedback on how strong it is when it's mounted on the air vent? I'm worried the phone might fall under normal bumps along the road.

It has 2 fixed settings for when mounted in a vent. Both settings take a considerable amount of force to take the airframe out, without being damaging to the vent or airframe.

Wow is all I can say. :eek:

Got mine today, and I am very impressed so far. The build quality is phenomenal, and the fit to the vent feels quite stable. I'll post back if there are any issues during regular driving.

Thanks a lot for the pics! Quick question though, is it easy to rotate the mount from landscape to portrait while already on the air vent?
 
I'm very picky about putting anything non OEM in my car, but the small size and simple on/off nature of this mount makes it worth a shot. Just ordered.
 
just got shipping notice, can't wait for my, the low profile and small foot print of it is what sold me on it, hope its all good.
 
Two days ago I reserved one via Amazon Payments and received an email authorizing the payment. However I logged on to Amazon Payments and there is no mention of this authorization.

Also just discovered that Kenu are now using Shopify for payments. Is Shopify safe or should I just wait out for the Amazon Payment to go through?
 
My only concern is, Toyota RAV4's air vent is not straight, it's like inclined, so I'm thinking it will make my iPhone too inclined - which I'm trying to avoid.
 
Just thought I would add my support to all the praise this mount is getting. Easily the best built vent mount on the market. I have a 2001 eclipse with round vents and this is the only mount I've found that fits good; I haven't seen any others as nice as this one. Only thing I would add, is that this mount is only as good as the vent it's attached to. I decided that my phone is still better in my window mount, because it's easier to reach, and I have my nano 7th gen in the vent mount.
 
Received my, couple of things: by far the most versatile I have ever came across, But as you see in the video it uses metal clips, the one that I received has the completely covered, and I can't place my phone in/ out like on the video (on their site).
My whole clip slides all the way to the wright and I end up hitting hazard light switch in my accord.
Which one have you received? Metal feet or they are completely rubber covered?

Mine is all covered with rubber.
 
I see, does it slide when you inserting the phone? or do you have it at the end of the vent to prevent that?
 
i tried to order one through the site but it crashed after i put in my payment info (great...). Is the only way to buy one of these through kenu.com?
 
Got mine yesterday, and it works great with my case. Should fit iphone with just about any case on it.
 
Just a quick tip for the airframe. If you clamp the case nearer the bottom half of the phone, it makes it much easier to activate the home button without any shifting on the vent.

No mine does not slide the rubber coating is key. The back clip appears to have 2 different degrees of tightness based on the thickness of the vent louvers. One is very tight the other less tight.
 
Airframe mount with the switch easy nude case.
