The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is finally here, and fans are excited. It’s super thin this year, so a lot of people are asking for a thin case to match it.
One question we keep getting: How is ThinBorne better than the Latercase Galaxy Z Fold 7 case?
First off, we’ve got nothing but respect for Lew—we grew up watching Unbox Therapy.
But let’s be real: it’s hard to compare Thinborne and Latercase without being a little biased. We built ours for folks who want something thinner, lighter, and grippier—with real protection and MagSafe that works.
So instead of telling you which is “better,” we’d rather highlight a few things about our Galaxy Z Fold 7 case that we’re genuinely proud of—and let you decide for yourself.

A Different Kind of Brand Than Latercase Galaxy Z Fold 7 Case
The Latercase Galaxy Z Fold 7 case is well-known, mostly because Lew Later started it. He has over 16 million YouTube followers.
We’re not here to compete with Lew, and definitely not here to attack him. We believe the Latercase Fold 7 case is a good product.
We just want to offer more options for people looking for something truly premium, innovative, high-end cases with a different touch.
We’re a small business that started in Frisco, Texas, in 2023—no big-name backing, no built-in audience, and definitely no hype machine.
What we do have are a few things that truly set us apart from the Latercase Fold 7 case and others like it—and we’re proud to let the product speak for itself.
1. Premium 600D Aramid Fiber
There are several different grades of aramid fiber in the industrial sector, including 1500D and 600D aramid fiber.
We’re proud to use premium 600D aramid fiber to craft our Galaxy Z Fold 7 case.
Now, while a lot of cases out there say “aramid fiber,” not all aramid fiber is the same. 600D is a higher-grade material that costs at least 30% more than 1500D. It’s thinner, smoother, has a cleaner texture, and offers noticeably better grip in hand.
To be honest, comparing any 1500D Fold 7 case with our 600D version isn’t really fair—because we’re working with a more premium material from the start.
2. Extremely Strict Quality Checks Process
We hit a bump and lost over $20K when we first started. A lousy supplier took our money, overpromised, and underdelivered. They shipped us low-quality cases with no detail and a terrible fit, after they got paid.
We were almost done for.
Luckily, we connected with our current supplier, one of the top 3 phone case manufacturers in China. A team that actually shares our vision for making something exceptional.
We were so worried about quality that we made a deal with them: We do crazy QC, and they have to accept any reason we give to reject a product.
The trade-off? We agree to their price; no haggling, no back-and-forth.
(Lol, we’re not CarMax.)
So yeah, we pay more per case. But we get to enforce our own standards and return any batch we don’t like, even if the reason is “I’m not in a good mood today, so this one’s getting burned.”
Every case goes through three rounds of quality checks:
One at the factory (with our own QC guides)
One at our QC partner’s warehouse
And one final check right here in Texas
That’s the level of care we believe your Fold 7 deserves.
3. Fully Compatible with MagSafe
Our super thin Galaxy Z Fold 7 case is compatible with MagSafe and Qi2, which opens up a whole new world for extensions of accessories and functions.

4. Texas Service You Will Love
Service is a big deal, especially for products like ours, just like the Latercase Galaxy Z Fold 7 case or cases from brands like Pitaka. When customers invest in premium materials and ultra-thin design, they rightfully expect top-tier support to match.
We’ve had our share of missteps along the way, but we’ve stuck with it. And through those experiences, one thing became clear: great service can make or break a brand. It’s not just about the product; it’s about how we treat people before and after the sale. That’s where we’re fully committed to standing out.
