We’re thrilled about the Pixel 10 series. Every model, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, now comes with Qi2. That means cases don’t just protect your phone; they also work with magnetic accessories.
With more options than ever, it’s the perfect time to compare two cases: the official PixelSnap Case for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and ThinBorne’s ultra-slim aramid fiber design, renowned for its reputation as one of the thinnest and most premium case options. Let’s break down their features, protection, and pricing.
A Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold PixelSnap case secures your phone with Qi2 magnetic charging and full support for Google’s official snap-on accessories. It’s designed to align perfectly with chargers, wallets, and stands, making everyday use more seamless.
Both the official PixelSnap case and our ThinBorne aramid fiber case include built-in magnets for seamless Qi2 and MagSafe use. According to Android Authority, ThinBorne is one of the best ultra-slim options, offering a near-bare feel with premium aramid fiber and subtle camera bump protection.
ThinBorne focuses on ultra-thin aramid fiber strength, while PixelSnap Case for Pixel 10 Pro Fold emphasizes drop-tested protection and accessory integration.
Below, we’ll walk you through a clear, feature-by-feature comparison, so you can see exactly where each case stands.
The ThinBorne case measures just 0.04 inches thin and weighs 0.8 ounces, keeping the Pixel 10 Pro Fold close to its bare form. It’s light, pocket-friendly, and nearly invisible in hand.
By comparison, the PixelSnap Case measures 16.1 mm in depth and 29.8 grams. It feels sturdier but adds noticeable bulk when folded.
We build our ThinBorne cases from 600D aramid fiber. The woven texture creates durability and grip without extra thickness. Market studies indicate that both industries and consumers prefer aramid fibers due to their unique properties.
The Google Pixel 10 Pro PixelSnap Case is made of polycarbonate with a microfiber lining. It’s more eco-friendly, but polycarbonate doesn’t match the strength of aramid fiber in terms of thin weave.
Both ThinBorne and Google’s PixelSnap case support MagSafe and the new Qi2 standard, giving you faster charging and access to a wide range of magnetic accessories like chargers, wallets, stands, and mounts.
ThinBorne uses slim front and back covers held with adhesive strips, which means you may notice a very slight gap, but still get the lightest possible protection. Extra strips can improve the fit.
Google’s PixelSnap case, on the other hand, wraps around the hinge with a single-piece structure. This provides a tighter visual fit when folded, but adds more thickness to the overall phone.

ThinBorne highlights the matte carbon fiber weave of aramid fiber. Our case comes only in black but shows detail in texture.
Google’s PixelSnap case takes a softer approach with Quartz Gray and Volcanic Black finishes, offering color choice with a smoother surface.
ThinBorne’s aramid fiber texture adds friction, which helps prevent slips and makes one-hand use easier. Its slim shape also reduces strain during prolonged use.
PixelSnap’s microfiber finish feels smoother and softer, but the thicker build adds bulk in the hand.
At ThinBorne, we focus on daily defense while keeping the phone as thin as possible. It’s not meant to absorb severe impacts.
PixelSnap, by contrast, underwent hundreds of hours of drop testing and is designed to withstand everyday falls. It offers stronger impact resistance, but at the cost of added weight and thickness.
✅ Pro Tip: Foldable phones like the Google Pixel series and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 need a case material like aramid fiber. Its high strength and thin weave provide reliable protection without adding bulk.
When comparing prices, both fall into the premium category.
ThinBorne: $89.98 USD
PixelSnap: €79.99 (about $87 USD), available in monthly installments in some regions
ThinBorne and PixelSnap cost nearly the same, with ThinBorne slightly higher due to its aramid fiber material and precision build. PixelSnap includes flexible payment options in some markets.
ThinBorne serves you if you want the lightest, slimmest case with a firm grip and MagSafe/Qi2 charging. PixelSnap serves you if you wish to have official drop-tested protection and color options.
