A lot of Fold users are on the hunt for a thinner, sleeker, and better Galaxy Z Fold 7 case than the official Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Carbon Shield Case — especially one that supports MagSafe.
One question we often get: Is Thinborne actually better than Samsung’s own Galaxy Z Fold 7 Carbon Shield Case?
Rather than give you a biased answer, we’d rather lay out the facts; what sets Thinborne apart, and why it might be the better choice for people who want slim protection without compromise.

A Different Kind of Premium Option Than Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Carbon Shield Case
We’re the underdogs from Frisco, Texas. No big names, no hype—just obsessed with making a better case.
Samsung brought back the carbon shield case for the Fold series (they skipped it on the Fold 5)- Galaxy Z Fold 7 Carbon Shield Case.
Both the official fiber case and our case are very thin and lightweight.
What we do have are a few things that truly set us apart from the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 carbon shield case and others like it, and we’re proud to let the product speak for itself.
1. We have the front cover for the Z Fold 7.
Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Carbon Shield Case, which only has the back housing, we believe that even an ultra-thin case should still protect your phone.
That’s why we include a front cover, back housing, and a free screen protector.
This combo gives solid protection—without the extra bulk.
2. We use 600D aramid fiber for Z Fold 7 case.
Even though both cases are made of aramid fiber, we’re proud to use 600D aramid fiber for our Galaxy Z Fold 7 case.
A lot of brands say “aramid fiber,” but not all aramid is the same. There are different grades—like 1500D and 600D—and we chose 600D for a reason.
It costs at least 30% more, but it’s thinner, smoother, grippier, and just feels better in your hand. The texture is finer, the comfort is real.
Comparing a 1500D case to ours isn’t really fair. We’re working with more premium materials from the start.
Here's a quick material comparison of the Thinborne vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 carbon shield case:
ThinBorne
[600D Aramid Fiber (Kevlar®-grade)]
Lightweight yet strong (used in aerospace and military gear)
Better weave density than 1500D—stronger, thinner, and more flexible
Naturally non-conductive and heat-resistant
Matte finish with grip-friendly texture
Often includes built-in MagSafe magnets under the back panel
Samsung
[Aramid Fiber (Samsung doesn’t specify the weave type, but likely 1500D)]
Similar carbon-like appearance
Very lightweight and durable
Slim profile with OEM precision fit
No built-in MagSafe
Includes two anti-reflective screen films
3. Ours is fully compatible with MagSafe.
Our super-thin Galaxy Z Fold 7 magnetic case is compatible with MagSafe and Qi2, which opens up a whole new world for extensions of accessories and functions.

4. Experience a Texas service you will love.
Service is a big deal—especially for products like ours, just like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Carbon Shield Case or cases from brands like Latercase and 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.
