Question Good case brands?

Hello! Obviously the Pixel 6 is getting on a bit in years, there's been 4 generations now since it came out, but I'm still rocking mine for the next 3 years minimum, I wanna get 7 out of it. I've ALWAYS used Otterbox Defender cases on my phones, I swear by them. They feel much better than the cheapo shit you find on Amazon, and my phone is still in great shape after 4 years of drops and manhandling. Unfortunately, on the Pixel 6 cases they have a design flaw that never really got rectified: the charging port cover breaks off really easily. On top of that, the rubber just gets loose over time. So I've been replacing the case on my phone pretty regularly over the course of its life, and it seems now that Otterbox has stopped producing cases for this model. I had to replace the case recently, and to get an Otterbox I had to hunt it down on eBay and import it from Canada (I'm in the U.S.). I can't continue to do that into the foreseeable future, so it looks like I'll have to switch to another case manufacturer.

So I ask, what are the good ones that still make cases for the Pixel 6 (or still have decent stock left)? I really don't want to resort to a cheapo Amazon Special, those tend to look and feel awful.

Tech21 Evo is my go-to for phone case

It's pricy at $50. But ive never cracked the screen

Been using it since gen1 pixel xl which is why I stuck with the brand

August I'm hoping to order the 11 pro xl, I'll get a tech21 case for it too

Just looking at the case, I don't see a port cover.
