If you have a premium phone like the iPhone 17 Pro Max, it’s only natural that you choose a case that matches it in quality, design, and functionality. After all, a phone case doesn’t merely serve as protection; it will also provide comfort in use and show off your style.
For those who are wondering how ThinBorne is better than the Mous iPhone 17 Pro Max case, you’ve come to the right place.
You want your phone to feel like your phone, right? Well, ThinBorne and Mous both offer the solution to this issue - the debate is this: which one is better?
We’re telling you right now that you can’t go wrong with both types of phone case, as they’re both premium brands. However, they come in different designs that cater to people’s varying preferences.
Mous was founded in 2014 by business partners Josh Shires and James Griffith. They wanted to solve a particular problem with phone cases: they’re either too bulky or too flimsy.
Based in London, Mous gained a reputation for manufacturing shockproof cases. Now they have warehouses in the US and the UK to cater to their customers' needs.
For many years, Mous has become the go-to brand for iPhone users who prefer rugged cases over thin ones. But of course, some don’t appreciate having extra weight on their cell phones - and that’s where ThinBorne comes in.
ThinBorne is a growing business with an even bigger vision. Founded in 2023 in Frisco, Texas, by tech enthusiast Karl Liang, the company has a single goal: to make the finest super-thin phone cases using premium materials.
Their material of choice: the 600D aramid fiber.
Aramid fiber is a military-grade material known for its lightness and strength. It costs so much more than other alternatives, such as plastic and silicone. The truth is that it’s actually stronger than steel.
At ThinBorne, quality is our top priority. We want our customers to feel that our cases are worthy of holding their iPhone 17 Pro Max.

ThinBorne doesn’t claim to be the absolute “best” in phone cases - but we believe that our products do stand out from Mous in several areas. We’ll break them down below.
Here’s a fun fact: not all aramid fiber cases are created equal. There are brands that use 1500D, and others that use 600D.
Which is better, 1500D or 600D? Well, they’re both good, but phone cases that use 1500D have rougher textures and are more bulky. On the other hand, cases made from 600D have smoother and more refined textures.
ThinBorne is proud to say that we use 600D aramid fiber in our phone cases, even though it’s more costly to produce (30% more expensive than 1500D). We believe in investing in quality and are committed to providing our customers with strong protection without the added bulk.
Additionally, research indicates that Mous does not disclose the grade of aramid fiber it uses, making ThinBorne’s transparency and commitment to quality stand out even more.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max was designed to be MagSafe-compatible, so its case should also be compatible with it.
Mous iPhone 17 Pro Max cases are compatible with MagSafe, but their thickness can cause issues with the supposed-to-be seamless MagSafe experience.
On the other hand, ThinBorne phone cases stand out in their compatibility with MagSafe. Remember, our cases are ultra-thin, which enhances attachment and wireless connectivity.
There’s no question about it - Mous iPhone 17 Pro Max cases are made with premium materials, as they strive to produce high-quality products.
At ThinBorne, we focus not just on the quality of our cases but on how each one is made. Our quality checks go through an intense 3-step process:
The manufacturer follows our custom guide on how to create our phone cases.
Our partner’s warehouse then runs each phone through strict quality control procedures.
Our Texas office then performs a final inspection of the cases before shipping them to our customers.
Remember, ThinBorne is not into mass production, where quality can be compromised.
Our thorough checking process ensures fewer defects when our products are released to the market. For us, quality products and quality service are our top priority.
Mous probably has good customer service. In this regard, we can only speak for ourselves.
Our customer service, based in Texas, makes sure that our customers receive the best personalized care before, during, and after their purchase.
Rest assured that ThinBorne delivers premium service for our premium products. After all, where would we be without our loyal customers? You deserve our love and support!
Mous iPhone 17 Pro Max cases sell for about $80.
ThinBorne iPhone 17 Pro Max cases are priced at $69.69 (discounts are also available).
As you can see, our ThinBorne case is more affordable in terms of pricing. When considering the extras we provide, such as a free tempered glass screen protector and a 180-day warranty, you’ll see that our product offers excellent value for money.
ThinBorne might be a newer brand compared to Mous, but it’s already catching attention, as seen below:

Got my @thinborne case today. My iPhone won’t be here for 2-3 weeks, but at least there’s one competent company out there. This is the best thin case on the market. Doesn’t feel like the phone has anything. Been using these exclusively recently. pic.twitter.com/cYWQF0G6AV
