Consider using StackOverflow for questions like this...there's a substantial number of iOS devs who hang around there (myself included!) - plus it's far more likely somebody else with the same problem will stumble upon your question and spread the knowledge.

With regards to your specific question, if you use the various border properties of the underlying `CALayer` (`borderColor`, `borderWidth`, etc) and scale the view by changing its bounds the border will retain the same width as before. You can also scale a view by transforming it, but that's slightly different.
