So can anyone tell me what the difference is between these two cases? One is the T and the other is non T, I guess. Not really sure what that means in terms of size and weight difference. Can anyone shed some light?
I hate how Spigen lists their cases on Amazon btw. It’s the most confusing.

Yeah, I remember someone saying “T for touch”. Not sure if that’s accurate but it helped me remember the nomenclature.
Whatever works! Really odd how Amazon has the "A_T" with a fingerprint on those as the designation.
That was very helpful. I think the CC cover may be fine (can't recall what they're using but not copper rods or Ali Express special, right?) but the questionable magsafe and, especially, the non-metal buttons are making this one meh for me. REALLY wish the PR6 with CC cover would come out.
Yeah, that was a good review. The button looks pretty good (it’s a PCB), though Brian’s Tech said he doesn’t think it’s quite as good as the Spigen or Apple. @darrinS said he is satisfied with copper rod buttons, which I think illustrates the fact that what constitutes a “good” CC button is highly subjective and dependent upon how one uses it.
I’ve said it before, but I now prefer minimal cases with no button covers anywhere, so this discussion is mostly academic to me at this point.
So if I’m understanding correctly the dimensions are the same besides the CC button?
That means Spigen doesn’t make a light frosted CC case? Only the black and graphite? Doubt either of those would look good on the Desert Titanium
Did you look for any other variations on Spigen's site? Amazon isn't always the end all be all for availability.
Yes.
The frosted T is only available in black and rose.
My new Ali buttons came in. I’ve put one between my iPhone and the inside of the Caudabe Sheath. Of course, there’s a bit of the case being raised because of the lugs of the button.
And the Caudabe cutout is a bit bigger than my button. Maybe just a mil. But the button works very well and it looks cool. So it’s nice for me. I don’t know what others will think. They probably will hate it.
Spigens are coming in tomorrow. I will choose between frost black and the clear case.

Spigen also has an official store on eBay. They usually have even lower prices than Amazon, free shipping, and I’ve found the returns to be easy, though of course not as easy as Prime. Just a heads up in case you can’t find what you’re looking for on Amazon…
The white CC button on the Apple clear case is a perfect match with the MagSafe Battery. 👌🏻
How are you liking it? I’m a leather guy but my silicone case has gotten the most use with this years phone.
All I want is for Apple to release a solid leather alternative next year. It was the best case for years on end!
This exactly. I am a leather guy as well, but even more so an Apple case guy. The silicone and clear cases are trash, so it’s off to 3rd party for leather cases. I choose Ryan London open bottom, but would come back to an Apple premium case in a heart beat.
Hoping that Ryan London will be coming out with a leather case with a camera control button soon.
I’m hoping that RL will release a nice colour (not black or brown) open bottom case for the Plus. Not going to happen I know.
I like it TBH.
Bought it as I'd got my wife thr fuscia pink one for her new 16 Pro and I liked the feel and quality of it.
I tend to stick with UAG and Spigen rugged cases etc
