Just bought a Pixel 7a (for Graphene OS), but looking for a good, solid phone case. What are some brands, that are worth buying from that are not cheap knock offs? Appreciate any tips

Otterbox. They are rugged as hell but make your device very bulky/clunky imo. If your goal is protection, check them out.

The prices are ludicrous.

Came here to suggest a competitor to OtterBox called Beetle Defender, because it's the same style for rugged protection, but much better quality. My OtterBox cases eventually stretched out and the rubberized part no longer really stayed on. The Beetle case, however, is still as good as it was the day I bought it, and it cost less.

Otterbox used to make really good products, but they're just riding on brand recognition now with mediocre quality
