You can also add views to the top and bottom to use as borders.

// Top border
UIView *topBorder = [[UIView alloc]
    initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,
                             0,
                             textfield.frame.size.width,
                             4.0f)];
topBorder.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:160/255.0f
                                            green:160/255.0f
                                             blue:160/255.0f
                                            alpha:1.0f];
[textfield addSubview:topBorder];

// Bottom border
UIView *bottomBorder = [[UIView alloc]
    initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,
                             textfield.frame.origin.y +
                                 textfield.frame.size.height - 4.0f,
                             textfield.frame.size.width,
                             4.0f)];
bottomBorder.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:160/255.0f
                                               green:160/255.0f
                                                blue:160/255.0f
                                               alpha:1.0f];
[textfield addSubview:bottomBorder];
