Top 5 Reasons To Get Mom a Kenu Highline


Besides snowboarders, bikers, and world travelers, we at Kenu have been intensively testing the Highline with one of the most extreme and demanding groups out there: Moms. Here's a quote from a Mom on the front lines:

I'm so thankful for my Kenu Highline - it's saved my iPhone many times! It's so reassuring to know that it's tethered safely to my bag while the kids are having fun and keeping quietly occupied. Hooray for my Highline! — Tricia V, San Francisco

So with that in mind…

  1. Highline helps Mom find her iPhone in her purse, no matter how deep it’s been buried. Just follow the cord and never miss another phone call!
     
  2. iPhones and iPods are expensive and even the best insurance coverage eventually stops sending replacements. Highline prevents iPhones from being lost or broken, saving money.
     
  3. Moms juggle tons of stuff, from diaper bags to snacks and strollers. With all that stuff, little iPhones could slip away unnoticed. Highline makes sure Mom stays connected with her iPhone whether she’s getting out of the car or off the plane, with armfuls of stuff and kids in tow.
     
  4. Kids do the darndest things. Highline helps Mom take great photos while keeping her iPhone out of sand, snow, rocks, and the toilet. Eek!
     
  5. You love Mom, Mom loves her iPhone. Highline keeps them together.

Why Skinit Readers Need Highline


Recently our friends at Skinit asked their fans why they need a Kenu Highline. We love everyone’s reasons, especially...
  1. Tammy, who’s headed to the mountains of Tenessee to zip line, hike, and mountain bike
  2. Julianna, who needs one to keep her high school daughter from losing yet another phone from her backpack
  3. Blake, sky diving ('nuff said)
  4. Shannon, for riding on Harleys and not dropping any more phones from her pocket at high velocity!
  5. Zachary, for taking the train and subway everyday especially since there’s been increased theft of phones lately
Thanks to everyone who posted and special congrats to Tammy and Zachary who are both getting Highline courtesy of Skinit!

TechCrunch covers Highline!


Our friends at TechCrunch have covered the Kenu Highline! Here's a taste:

"So this is the Kenu Highline. It’s basically a locking connector, a coiled cable, and a little loop. You lock your iPhone to the cable, attach the loop to your jacket, and go totally nuts. Attach it to anything. Your jacket. Your bropurse. Your 7 Jeans with the big, tribal stitching. Anything"

Highline Review at The Beginner's Lens


The iPhone photography experts at The Beginner's Lens reviewed the Kenu Highline!

"It allows you to take photos in places where you might be afraid that the phone will fall. We’ve all been there…standing on the side of a bridge or a viewing platform holding your phone on the ledge to sturdy it and praying someone doesn’t come behind you and bump you sending your phone sailing right off the ledge! If you had the Highline attached to your phone, there would be no need to worry, even if the worst happened, your phone would remain safe and secure and in turn you would be able to get those really awesome shots that require a bit of iPhone acrobatics."
