If you want to keep your controller code clean, you can subclass UITextView like below, and change the class name in the Interface Builder.

RoundTextView.h

#import 
@interface RoundTextView : UITextView
@end

RoundTextView.m

#import "RoundTextView.h"
#import 
@implementation RoundTextView
-(id) initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder {
    if (self = [super initWithCoder:aDecoder]) {
        [self.layer setBorderColor:[[[UIColor grayColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.333] CGColor]];
        [self.layer setBorderWidth:1.0];
        self.layer.cornerRadius = 5;
        self.clipsToBounds = YES;
    }
    return self;
}
@end
