ThinBorne vs. Mous Super Thin Case with PixelSnap for Pixel 10: Side-by-Side Comparison

Google has rolled out its version of MagSafe with the Google Pixel 10 PixelSnap Case . PixelSnap is a magnetic system built for the Pixel 10 series, designed to lock accessories like chargers, wallets, grips, and stands securely in place.


Powered by the Qi2 wireless charging standard, it ensures faster alignment, efficient charging, and a simple snap-on experience without extra effort.


When it comes to third-party options, ThinBorne focuses on ultra-thin performance with aerospace-grade materials. At the same time, the Mous Super Thin Case with PixelSnap for Pixel 10 leans on sustainability and a wider range of colors.

1. Dimensions & Weight

The Mous Super Thin case for the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro measures 0.51 inches thick and weighs 0.99 ounces, while the Pro XL version comes in slightly heavier at 1.13 ounces.

2. Material Build

ThinBorne uses aerospace-grade 600D aramid fiber, a material known for being five times stronger and thinner than steel. This ensures the case resists scratches, holds its finish, and avoids issues like fading or peeling over time.


Mous builds its Super Thin case with polycarbonate on the outside and a microfiber lining inside. The focus is on durability with sustainable materials.

🛒 Buyer's Guide: Aramid fiber combines high strength, flexibility, and long-term durability, making it ideal for Pixel 10 cases. Check our detailed guide to explore its benefits.

3. Slimness and Handling

Android Authority hails ThinBorne as one of the thinnest Pixel 10 cases available, noting its 0.04-inch profile and aerospace-grade aramid fiber. This design allows the phone to keep its sleek shape while still offering surface protection.


The Mous Super Thin, at 0.51 inches, creates a thicker profile. While this may reduce the minimalist feel, some users may prefer the added sturdiness that comes with a case that feels more substantial in hand.

4. Style and Design

ThinBorne emphasizes minimalism with a matte carbon-fiber weave finish. The pattern is sharp, fingerprint-resistant, and designed to keep its appearance consistent over time.


Mous takes a different approach by offering more variety. Depending on the Pixel model, the Super Thin case is available in Jet Black, Fresh Lilac, Thyme Green, Hot Coral, and Charcoal Blue.


While ThinBorne highlights precision styling, Mous provides more options for those who prefer colorful personalization.

5. Grip and Finish

Our ThinBorne case uses a textured aramid fiber surface that provides a firm, anti-slip hold. This texture holds steady even with extended daily use, reducing the chance of accidental slips.


The Mous Super Thin uses a smooth polycarbonate exterior combined with a soft microfiber interior. While the inside prevents scratches from dust and particles, the outside finish is less textured and may feel smoother to the touch, which some users might prefer for comfort.

6. PixelSnap & MagSafe Support

ThinBorne cases are MagSafe compatible, allowing strong connections with third-party magnetic chargers, stands, and wallets without adding extra thickness.


The Mous Super Thin case integrates a PixelSnap magnetic array, which is designed for seamless use with Pixel-branded accessories.


Both systems work effectively for charging and attaching accessories, though ThinBorne achieves full MagSafe compatibility while keeping a thinner profile.

7. Drop Protection & Longevity

ThinBorne focuses on scratch and scuff resistance, offering lightweight defense without compromising on slimness. The aramid fiber maintains strength and texture, holding up under daily handling.


Mous places more emphasis on drop protection. The Super Thin case has a drop-tested design with reinforced corners and raised edges, giving extra defense for the display and camera bar in the event of a fall.
