Many of you have been asking how our ThinBorne case compares to that of another well-known minimalist brand, the PITAKA Google Pixel 10 Pro case .
Both brands offer slim, aramid fiber designs with minimal bulk. In this blog, we’ll discuss how they differ in materials, coverage, and features so that you can choose the right Google Pixel 10 Pro case for your needs.
The PITAKA Pixel 10 Pro Case is crafted from 600D aerospace-grade aramid fiber, continuing the brand’s tradition of premium protection for flagship devices. Its sleek, scratch-resistant build features PITAKA’s signature woven finish, designed to provide a slim profile without compromising durability.
Key features include:
Ultra-slim (around 0.9 mm thin) and lightweight (about 18.8 g)
MagSafe-compatible and wireless charging-friendly
Minimalist in design, it covers the back and sides but leaves the screen uncovered
Available in black/grey twill weave with a smooth 3D-coated finish
Similar to our review of their Galaxy Z Fold 7 case , the Pixel 10 Pro version is available as a back cover only, maintaining a minimalist design while ensuring durability.
At ThinBorne, we designed our Pixel 10 Pro case for individuals who want the closest thing to a “no case” feel, while still enjoying the benefits of a thin phone case crafted with premium materials and a precision fit.
Our confirmed specs are:
600D aerospace-grade aramid fiber, five times stronger and thinner than steel, with a finer weave for a cleaner look and better texture
0.04 inches thin and 0.7 oz light
Full back and edge coverage
Works with MagSafe chargers and accessories except the Pixel Stand
Minimalist profile with refined weave pattern and precision-molded cutouts
Our focus is on combining aesthetics and usability, keeping your Pixel 10 Pro slim, light, and comfortable in the hand, while also adding magnetic compatibility that many thin case makers often overlook.

ThinBorne’s precision molding fits the Pixel 10 Pro’s curved edges without adding extra bulk, utilizing aerospace-grade 600D aramid fiber with a fine weave for a clean look and improved grip.
PITAKA also uses aerospace-grade aramid fiber, but in a smooth black/grey twill weave that favors a flush back panel over edge coverage.
ThinBorne offers full back and edge coverage with precision cutouts. Instead of a raised lip, ThinBorne includes a tempered glass screen protector while maintaining an ultra-thin case.
On the other hand, PITAKA also uses aerospace-grade aramid fiber in a smooth black/grey twill weave, designed for a flush back panel with slim side coverage but no raised screen protection.
If you often use your Pixel 10 Pro one-handed, ThinBorne’s textured 600D weave offers a balanced feel, smooth enough to slide in and out of your pocket, yet a grippy surface to help avoid slips.
PITAKA’s smooth 3D-coated finish feels premium and silky to the touch, though users who prefer extra grip may want to pair it with an accessory like a magnetic grip or PopSocket, especially on the larger Pro model.
ThinBorne includes built-in MagSafe magnets for compatibility with magnetic chargers, mounts, and wallets. It works seamlessly with MagSafe-compatible stands and chargers, though it is not compatible with the Pixel Stand.
PITAKA’s Pixel 10 Pro case features a built-in magnetic ring, making it fully MagSafe-compatible and supportive of wireless charging. It also works seamlessly with PITAKA’s MagEZ magnetic accessories such as wallets, grips, and mounts.
💡 Did you know your Pixel 10 Pro can get MagSafe functionality without the bulk by using an ultra-thin magnetic case crafted from aramid fiber, a material we explored in detail in our Aramid Fiber Pixel 10 Series guide.
ThinBorne focuses on scratch resistance and light drop protection. The aramid fiber construction helps resist wear while maintaining a slim profile.
PITAKA offers strong scratch resistance and slim side coverage. However, without impact-absorbing layers, its drop protection is limited, making it best suited for everyday wear protection rather than heavy impact.
ThinBorne features a refined fine-weave pattern in a minimalist black finish. The tight 600D weave creates a subtle texture and upscale appearance.
On the other hand, PITAKA sticks to its classic black/grey twill weave, featuring a polished, smooth 3D-coated finish that is instantly recognizable to fans of the brand.
ThinBorne: $69.98 USD — Higher price point but includes built-in MagSafe magnets, and a finer weave finish.
If you want maximum minimalism plus added functionality, we believe ThinBorne is the better fit. It’s not just us saying it; even Android Central covered ThinBorne’s early release of “Super Thin” cases for the Pixel 10 series, noting that they sold out quickly after launch. It offers:
A finer 600D weave for a more refined look and improved grip
Full back, edge, protection for everyday use
Built-in MagSafe readiness for chargers, mounts, and wallets
A sleek profile at just 0.04 inches thin and 0.7 oz light
It’s slightly pricier than PITAKA, but that extra coverage and attention to detail can make the difference if you use your Pixel 10 Pro daily without adding bulk.
If you’re okay with back-only protection and a smooth twill finish, PITAKA is still a solid choice. It offers:
Aerospace-grade aramid fiber in a classic black/grey twill pattern
A proven, lightweight build
MagSafe compatibility and wireless charging support
A lower price point compared to ThinBorne
For those fine with back-only protection and a smoother finish, PITAKA remains a minimalist option at a lower price.
However, ThinBorne packs features you won’t get with PITAKA. At ThinBorne, we design our Pixel 10 Pro case for those who want more than just a slim cover. You get a finer 600D weave for a premium feel, along with built-in MagSafe magnets, all in a profile so thin that it feels like no case at all.
With added coverage, precise detailing, and everyday functionality that avoids bulk, ThinBorne offers a different approach compared to a back-only design.
Yes. The built-in magnets make it compatible with MagSafe chargers, wallets, and mounts. The only exception is the Pixel Stand, which isn’t supported.
No. Since it’s made from aerospace-grade 600D aramid fiber (a non-metallic material), the case won’t affect 5G, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth performance.
Yes. ThinBorne offers a limited warranty that covers defects in materials and craftsmanship. Customers can also reach out for support if they experience fit or quality issues.
Absolutely. ThinBorne is designed for full edge coverage without bulk and pairs seamlessly with tempered glass protectors. Some bundles even include one.
The 600D aramid fiber is scratch-resistant and retains its fine matte weave finish even with daily use. Unlike plastic cases that discolor, ThinBorne’s texture stays clean and durable.
