Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tangled Gears at none against Noir Cases's 1. Tangled Gears also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Noir Cases's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 16 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
