I've had the speck cases (with the grippy silicon/rubber ridges, like this: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71m+s2+SUuL._AC_SX679_.jpg) for my last two phones and simply just love them, but alas they don't make them for the newer Pixel devices (e.g. 6a or 7a). What Pixel 6a and 7a cases offer the same kind of grippyness? I'm especially interested in good side-grip. I really feel that having some side texture is important as opposed to just a flat silicon/rubber edge---that way, even if your hand is slippery, there is still something to grip onto.

My current favorite casemaker is Woodgraw, who makes cases with a wooden back panel (they have many designs of their own, but can also do a custom design). Of all the cases I've tried, it actually has the best side grippiness, thanks to a nice coarse texture of the TPU. The wood also lends a decent amount of grip to the back, in part thanks to the carved part.

Thanks! Those cases look awesome, and especially cool to know they are a small business in Ukraine!

Yep, I liked that I could support them! But if you do go with them, be aware that shipping can take a while. It took about 3 weeks for mine to arrive, but it was so worth it!
