ZAGG Gear4 Milan Snap iPhone case review: ombre style and protection
This MagSafe compatible case for iPhone 13 series handsets provides drop protection up to 13 feet. Scratch resistant, anti-yellowing DO3® Crystalex ™ material is transparent so you can see your gorgeous color through it. A shaded color gradient design in two different color options adds visual interest. The ZAGG Gear4 Milan Snap iPhone case is one of our favorite cases for the iPhone 13 range.

You can buy the ZAGG Gear4 Milan Snap iPhone case from Amazon, Best Buy, or the ZAGG website. The retail price is $ 50, but some models cost as low as $ 33 on Amazon. It is designed for the iPhone 13 range and is available in two color gradients: Pink (pink) and Gold.

This is a protective case that sits between heavy and light weight without being too bulky. The case is mostly transparent so that you can see the stunning color of the iPhone you have chosen. The case has a colorful MagSafe ring on the back, so your MagSafe accessories snap into place.
A pretty shaded gradient adorns the back of the case in the same color as the MagSafe ring, pink or gold. The edges of the case are textured for better grip to prevent drops, although the case has 13ft drop protection just in case. ZAGG Gear4 Milan Snap iPhone Case is made from transparent D3O® Crystalex ™ material, which resists scratches and yellowing. The case actually says “Protected by D30” on the back. D3O is a flexible material that hardens on impact. This dissipates shocks in order to better protect your iPhone.
The Sleep / Wake and Volume buttons are covered with efficient button covers. Generous cutouts allow full and clutter-free use of the mute switch, Lightning port, speakers, and camera module. A raised lip protects the iPhone screen; although it is more raised at the corners, top and bottom than on the sides. The camera module is also protected by a raised lip and “gear4” is written on one side.
Seriously protective and really cute, this case works with your MagSafe accessories
As it has the MagSafe ring, you can use with your Apple MagSafe charger, other MagSafe chargers and accessories. In my experience, it works great with all kinds of MagSafe accessories.
The ZAGG Gear4 Milan Snap iPhone case is made in part with recycled plastic. It contains post-consumer waste or post-industrial regrind, so you can feel good about your purchase. The enclosure is covered by a limited lifetime warranty.

It’s a pretty expensive case, especially since it’s mostly plastic. There are no luxurious touches like genuine leather, gold embossing, or microfiber lining. There are no additional features such as wallet slots, phone grip, or kickstand. Yet you are paying for the protection, not just for its beauty.
The edges of the case are thicker than most, which also makes it slightly heavier than some other cases. Again, these thick edges give you more protection, so it’s not a design flaw.

Another fun case to consider is the Kate Spade MagSafe iPhone case. Choose from a nice variety of whimsical, colorful and on-trend styles for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series, with or without MagSafe compatibility. It’s lighter than the ZAGG Gear4 Milan Snap iPhone case, but not as protective. The price is similar.

You can also consider the cute Rifle Paper Co. iPhone case that comes with or without a MagSafe ring. The floral design is a collaboration between Rifle Paper Co. (known primarily for stationery and other paper accessories) and renowned tech case maker Case-Mate. There are versions as old as the iPhone 11. The price of MagSafe versions is similar to that of ZAGG.
ZAGG Gear4 Milan Snap iPhone Case: Should You Buy It?

You should buy it if …
You want drop protection up to 13 feet You want MagSafe compatibility You want a transparent case with a pop of color
You shouldn’t buy this if …
You want a different style case You have an iPhone 12 or older It’s out of your budget
ZAGG Gear4 Milan Snap iPhone Case is a great choice for the person looking for a clear MagSafe case with color wash and serious drop protection. If you have an iPhone 12 or older, it’s out of your price range, or you just don’t like the look, then another case will suit you better.
4.5 out of 5
ZAGG Gear4 Milan Snap iPhone Case is a sturdy case with a beautiful appearance. Not only does it have 13ft drop protection, but it also has grippy edges to help prevent falls in the first place. It’s not the thinnest case, but it’s not bulky either. D3O® Crystalex ™ transparent should not scratch or turn yellow over time. Your iPhone will shine through the case in all its glory, highlighted by the shaded gradient design and the same color MagSafe circle. Your MagSafe charger and other accessories will work great with this case. It is even partly built from post-consumer or post-industrial recycled plastic waste.
