With the release of the iPhone 17 Pro Max in September 2025, Apple users are now asking: “Is ThinBorne any better than the PITAKA iPhone 17 Pro Max Case?”


This is a very important question, as our mobile phones have been a great part of our lives, and we literally can’t live without them.


And so, seeking the best case is one of the most important decisions we make in protecting our favorite personal belongings (which is also an investment).


Today, we’ll show you why iPhone users prefer Thinborne over other brands, such as the PITAKA iPhone 17 Pro Max case. However, we’re not here to say we are better. We’re just going to highlight what makes us different and stand out.

Not the Same Business As the PITAKA iPhone 17 Pro Max Case

Pitaka was founded in 2015, and they released their first phone case made from aramid fiber in 2016. They pioneered this technology and have become very popular in the industry.


Thinborne, based in Texas, started much later, which means we started with little to no brand awareness. Pitaka’s aramid fiber cases and others like it have inspired us to create our own product - one that focuses on quality and customer service.


Our iPhone 17 Pro Max case is compatible with MagSafe. At only 0.04 inches thin and weighing 0.78 oz, our 600D aramid fiber case offers protection without adding bulk.


Are we better than Pitaka? Read on, and we’ll show you why more and more people are saying they love our phone cases. You can then decide for yourself if ThinBorne is indeed better than the Pitaka iPhone 17 Pro Max Case.

1. Materials and Build Quality

While Pitaka uses 1500D aramid fiber in their iPhone 17 Pro Max case, Thinborne uses 600D.


Note that 600D has a higher quality than 1500D, which is more costly to produce. Using 600D aramid fiber results in a thinner and more durable case - one that can provide protection to your phone without adding bulk.


We are considered one of the thinnest cases available for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, so it’s worth checking out if you’re into minimalist-looking cases.

2. MagSafe Compatibility

Our Thinborne iPhone 17 Pro Max case is compatible with MagSafe and Qi-based wireless charging technologies. While Pitaka’s case is also MagSafe compatible and can be used with chargers and accessories, we’re proud to say we excel in this feature.


Remember how we told you about our super-thin design for our aramid cases? Well, this design enables a more reliable connection with MagSafe devices and accessories.


On the other hand, Pitaka’s slightly thicker construction sometimes results in poor connectivity.

3. Grip and Comfort

There’s no doubt that the Pitaka iPhone 17 Pro Max Case provides users with a decent grip. However, we designed our Thinborne cases to have a more comfortable feel.


For many, grip comfort may not seem like a big deal - but if you’re holding your mobile phone for a long time (like hours), you’ll realize just how important this feature is.


Here at Thinborne, we are not big fans of hand fatigue, which is why we've invented a solution to address this issue. We added a carbon fiber texture for extra grip, so even though we are one of the thinnest options on the market, we don’t cause people problems with slipperiness.

4. Protection Level

The protection level you’ll get from Pitaka and Thinborne for your iPhone 17 Pro Max is almost the same - both brands can only withstand moderate impacts and falls. So if you’re a frequent dropper, you might want to consider more rugged cases.


Keep in mind, however, that both the Thinborne and Pitaka cases are great for everyday protection (bumps, scratches, wear and tear, those things).

5. Price, Value, & Perks

The Pitaka iPhone 17 Pro Max Case is priced at $59.99, while the ThinBorne case is priced at $69.69.


It may seem that you can save money (around $10) with the Pitaka case, but let’s look at what you’ll get for the extra $10 if you opt for the Thinborne case.


Included in the package is a free tempered glass screen protector to guard your phone from scratches and fingerprints. With this added protection, your iPhone will perform better and last longer.


Additionally, to ensure a perfect fit for your mobile phone, we utilize precision engineering in our products. We also offer a 6-month warranty and a 30-day return policy for all our cases.


We stand behind our phone cases and are confident that you’ll love them too. If not, you can return them to us, and we’ll refund your money.


So, even if Pitaka’s phone case might seem like a good deal because of the price, it’s safe to say that you’re getting a better deal with Thinborne (for just an additional $10).

6. User Experience and Customer Reviews

As the saying goes, “The customer is always right,” and we respect every opinion. Trust us when we say that we are always listening to you.


Here at Thinborne, customer satisfaction is our top priority, which is why we focus on manufacturing high-quality products. However, nobody and nothing are ever truly perfect.


Aramid fiber is very challenging and tricky to manufacture…


However, we are delighted when our customers are satisfied, and 5-star reviews motivate us to maintain the high quality of our phone cases and strive for even better results.
