One drawback of the smartphone ecosystem is that as far as the aftermarket is concerned, there are two smartphone brands: Apple and Samsung. I broke the display on a Pixel 3a XL in New Orleans, looked around for a repair shop, and found one -- that refused to fix my phone if it wasn't one of those two brands. iPhone users can walk into Target and find all manner of cases and other accessories with a variety of styles designed to fit their phones. Samsung users enjoy almost as much diversity. For my replacement Google Pixel, I had to go to Amazon and get a plain case from China that almost looks 3D printed.
