Don’t use Google Scholar, use Google Scholar Advanced Scholar Search.

If you’ve been disappointed by Google Scholar for legal research, try the advanced version.  It enables you to select jurisdictions, such as Third Circuit and Pennsylvania Courts.

Once you find a case you like, click on the “How Cited” tab.

Of course, there is no statute search, but you may be able to use regular Google for that purpose.  In addition, there are no headnotes, so in a large search it may be harder to identify the cases of interest.

And, of course, the price is right.
