ThinBorne Vs. Pixelsnap Case for Pixel 10 Pro / Pro XL: In-Depth Features & Pricing Comparison (2025)

As minimalists, we believe that a good case should do justice to a phone’s natural form, staying thin while still offering reliable strength. This is especially true for high-end devices like the Google Pixel 10 Pro series.

This year, Google introduced the new Pixelsnap Case for Pixel 10 Pro / Pro XL, which really caught our attention. It is made with a soft silicone finish and is available in several colors, offering a slim fit tailored to the device. A lot of people, including us, were curious how it compares to the ThinBorne Google Pixel 10 Pro case.

Both cases target Pixel 10 Pro users who want protection and magnetic accessory support, but they approach the job differently.

Here’s our breakdown to help you decide which one matches your priorities.

Google has rolled out its own magnetic-ready option with the Google Pixel 10 Pro PixelSnap case. Built on the Qi2 standard, PixelSnap keeps accessories and chargers securely in place while ensuring proper alignment for faster, more consistent wireless charging.

Both ThinBorne and Google’s official Pixelsnap case support this system, but their designs differ. Below, we compare how the two cases differ by feature.

ThinBorne measures 0.04 inches thin and weighs just 0.70 ounces. It keeps the Pixel 10 Pro close to its original size and slips into a pocket without adding bulk.

The Pixelsnap case measures 0.50 inches thick and weighs 1.20 ounces, making the phone feel larger in hand but providing more surface coverage.

At ThinBorne, we utilize 600D aramid fiber, which is five times stronger than steel at the same weight. This aerospace-grade material resists scratches, retains its texture, and remains slim without compromising grip.

Google builds the Pixelsnap case with a mix of silicone, polycarbonate, magnets, and a microfiber lining. It features at least 42% recycled content and ships in plastic-free packaging, complete with a soft-touch finish for added comfort.

We design our case to support MagSafe and Qi2. It works with certified chargers, wallets, and stands, though we recommend avoiding built-in car wireless chargers and direct metal contact.

The Pixelsnap case integrates Google’s own PixelSnap magnetic system , ensuring smooth alignment with chargers and accessories. Charging, audio, and signal remain unaffected when the case is on.

ThinBorne prioritizes minimal thickness. At 0.04 inches, our case feels close to using the Pixel 10 Pro without protection, while still adding grip and scratch defense.

The Pixelsnap case is 0.50 inches thick, giving the phone a sturdier profile. The extra bulk provides more cushion but reduces the slim, “bare phone” feel.

At ThinBorne, we maintain a minimalist and professional design with a matte carbon fiber texture. The finish complements the Pixel 10 Pro’s shape and resists fingerprints.

Google offers the Pixelsnap case in multiple colors, Obsidian, Moonstone, Indigo, Porcelain, Jade, Lemongrass, and Frost, aimed at users who want their case to match or contrast with the phone’s finish.

We utilize a carbon fiber weave that enhances grip and prevents slips during everyday use. The texture feels consistent and reliable over time.

The Pixelsnap case features soft silicone for added comfort. It feels smooth to hold, but doesn’t add as much friction as aramid fiber.

ThinBorne makes clear that our case is built for light protection only. It shields against scratches, pocket wear, and small bumps while minimizing bulk.

The Pixelsnap case is drop-tested for everyday use. It includes raised edges to guard the display and reinforced protection for the camera bar.

Cost often reflects materials and design choices.

• Aerospace-grade 600D aramid fiber

• Ultra-slim 0.04 in, 0.70 oz

Pixelsnap Case (Pixel 10 Pro) – $49.99

ThinBorne sits at a higher price point due to aerospace-grade materials and extreme thinness, while the Pixelsnap case offers a lower-cost option with drop protection and color variety.

Both cases protect the Pixel 10 Pro and support magnetic accessories. The difference comes down to priorities. ThinBorne emphasizes precision, slimness, and the strength of premium aramid fiber. The Pixelsnap case emphasizes drop-tested durability and offers a range of colorful style options.

At ThinBorne, we believe protection should never compromise the phone’s design. The ThinBorne case is built as a true  thin phone case  , combining aerospace-grade strength with a 0.04-inch slim profile that keeps the Pixel 10 Pro almost as sleek as bare. With MagSafe and Qi2 compatibility, it supports modern charging and accessories while keeping bulk out of the way. For Pixel 10 Pro users who value minimal thickness, grip, and premium materials, ThinBorne is the best choice.
